Please Call 982 8300 Washington Keepsake sonograms have become a popular item with Many Young parents from Tom cruise to the couple next door. Its a practice Many physicians would like to discourage. The latest concern comes from a study that suggests in mice at least that ultrasound can affect the development of the fetal brain. Even so researchers say the findings should not keep pregnant women from having ultrasound scans when needed for medical reasons. When pregnant mice were exposed to ultrasound a Small number of nerve cells in the developing brains of their fetuses failed to extend correctly in the cerebral cortex. Our study in mice does not mean that use of ultrasound on human fetuses for appropriate diagnostic and medical purposes should be abandoned said or. Pasko Rakic Lead researcher and chairman of the neurobiology department at Yale University school of Medicine. However he added in a Telephone interview women should avoid unnecessary ultrasound scans until More research has been done. Or. Joshua Copel president elect of the american Institute of ultrasound Medicine said his organization tries to discourage entertainment ultrasound but considers sonograms important when there is a medical Benefit. Associated press by Michelle Lang c Algary a University of Calgary scientist has conditional approval to extract embryonic Stem cells from human embryos for the first time in Alberta a controversial practice that is already sparking opposition from anti abortion groups. Or. Derrick Rancourt expects to begin Stem cell experiments on Frozen human embryos in the coming months As part of a Canadian project to improve technology that deals with Stem cells. Only a handful of researchers around the country work with human embryos for Stem cell experiments. We have this expertise and weave been asked to participate in this project said Rancourt an associate University of Calgary professor who has extensive experience with mouse embryonic Stem cells. I kind of feel like its our responsibility. Many scientists believe embryonic Stem cells could help treat diseases ranging from multiple sclerosis to muscular dystrophy because of their ability to multiply and develop into any Type of cell in the body. But experimenting on human embryos left Over from Fertility treatments has been controversial because the process of extracting Stem cells kills the embryos a fertilized egg in the earliest stages of development. Anti abortionists were disappointed to learn about the Calgary plan to work on human embryos. They Are human beings said Joanne Byfield of Alberta pro life. That should place them above being used and abused and killed for research. Some scientists argue embryos Arentt a viable human life until they ave been implanted in a mothers womb. In Calgary the embryos Are donated by couples who no longer require them for Fertility treatments at a local clinic. The embryos would otherwise be discarded Rancourt said. Ran courts work will involve coaxing the embryos into a later stage of development that will allow him to extract Stem cells. He will then encourage the embryonic Stem cells which Are in Short Supply and Are often tied up with patents and other commercial interests to grow in larger numbers so they can be distributed to other scientists for research purposes. The local study is part of a larger project led by the University of British Columbia and the University of Toronto aimed at improving the science surrounding experimentation on human embryonic Stem cells. Its basically the development of technologies that would allow one to ultimately pursue therapies from embryonic Stem cells said project Leader or. James Piret a ubic researcher. Federal regulators still need to give final approval to the $ 523,000 National project before work can begin on so called fresh embryos which Are easier to work with for the first time in Canada. That practise is More controversial than working with Frozen embryos. Some ethicist say such Early donations could decrease the Chance of pregnancy for some couples who May still need the embryos. Ran courts lab however will not use fresh embryos in any Stem cell experiments because the Calgary in Vitro fertilization clinic wont provide them.
