A hole in the FDA’s approval process for pediatric drugs

July 22, 2014 By MassDevice Contributors Network Leave a Comment

By Tom Ulrich

You’d think drugs meant to be taken by children for years would be studied in children for a long time to measure their long-term safety.

You’d think drugs for a condition affecting millions of children would be tested in many, many children to catch any rare side effects.

You’d think all this would happen before the Food and Drug Administration, an agency known for its strict criteria, approved them for marketing.

Regrowing corneas: It’s all about finding the stem cells

July 14, 2014 By MassDevice Contributors Network Leave a Comment

By Nancy Fliesler

Severe burns, chemical injury and certain diseases can cause blindness by clouding the eyes’ corneas and killing off a precious population of stem cells that help maintain them. In the past, doctors have tried to regrow corneal tissue by transplanting cells from limbal tissue–found at the border between the cornea and the white of the eye.

The costs of quiescence, for cars and blood cells

July 8, 2014 By MassDevice Contributors Network

By Tom Ulrich

My first car was my grandfather’s 1980 Chevrolet Malibu. For about two years before my family gave it to me, it sat unused in Grandpa’s garage—just enough time for all of the belts and hoses to rot and the battery to trickle down to nothing.

Why am I telling this story? Because it’s much like what happens to the DNA in our blood-forming stem cells as we age.

We often see medical magic in Hollywood, but it’s not often we see Hollywood magic brought into medicine. Now, Boston Children’s Hospital’sSimulator Program and special-effects collaborators at The Chamberlain Group (TCG) have done just that.

Injectable oxygen getting closer to clinical reality

June 16, 2014 By MassDevice Contributors Network Leave a Comment

By Tom Ulrich

John Kheir, MD, first envisioned an injectable form of oxygen eight years ago, the night one of his patients, a nine-month-old girl, died after catastrophic lung failure. Kheir, a cardiac intensive care specialist at Boston Children’s Hospital, spoke last night to WBZ-TV’s Mallika Marshall, MD, about his efforts to try to buy precious time for children whose lungs stop working:
