Experimental gene therapy for giant axonal neuropathy shows promise in NIH clinical trial
An investigational gene therapy for a rare neurodegenerative disease that begins in early childhood, known as giant axonal neuropathy (GAN), was well tolerated and showed signs of therapeutic benefit in a clinical trial led by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Currently, there is no treatment for GAN and the disease is usually fatal by 30 years of age. Fourteen children with GAN, ages 6 to 14 years, were treated with gene transfer therapy at the NIH Clinical Center and then followed for about six years to assess safety. (Source: World Pharma News)

How Common Is Recurrent Radial Head Subluxation?
Discussion
Radial head subluxation (RHS) is most commonly occurs in children 6 months – 4 years old. It occurs because of the anatomy and child development. The radius is connected to the ulna just distal to the radial head by an annular ligament that encircles the radius “neck” (i.e. radial diaphysis) and inserts into the ulnar tuberosity. However the annular ligament is relatively small and also not as fibrous in young children compared to older children and adults. Young children often have their arm extended upward to hold hands with an adult especially when they are new walkers. If the child stumbles...
