"ANet United"

I remember I posted a site recommendation for the site or-live.com. Well on the 12th, they will have a live streaming video of a Surgical Ventricular Reconstruction. You can send messages to the surgeons and ask them any questions, that will be answered live. People that have enlarged hearts, develop systolic heart failure. This surgical procedure fixes these problems such as valve defects and problems with the ventricles. It is a very serious surgery, but in the long run it allows the heart to pump much more effectively than before. I hope you all watch the presentation. Here is a short video that explains everything.

Well, I opened up firefox today to find my normal yahoo homepage running full screen. However, something that caught my attention was the main news section. It read, “Growing an organ in a jar.” Curious, I watched the video and read the article. The organ turned out to be a heart, specifically a rat’s. These scientists have found a way to take all the muscle cells out of a damaged heart, leaving behind only the matrix structure. They then injected stem cells back in, resulting in a “renovated” heart. The hearts have seemed to recuperate well and beat normally after 7-8 days. These scientists have also been successful in doing the same procedure with pig hearts. This means that we may be able to do the same, with the thousands of patients that need new hearts in our own nation. Even though the researchers have agreed that they have a long way to go, this may be a start of something great in the medical field. Heart Failure patients might even have something to look forward to. Here is a link to the article with the video.

Hey everyone, I have some excellent news. You might have remembered that I was on the news a few months past. Well, I will be going in February to pick the award up at the ABC News Studio in Glendale. I have also had talks with a few other news companies and I am trying to get this site more in the public eye. Stay tuned, because ANet United is going to go big. I will post some pictures when I get back.

“According to the latest research, patients with atherosclerotic arterial disease—hardening of the arteries–have relatively high rates of experiencing a cardiovascular event like a heart attack, stroke or death within one year.”
You should watch this interesting video to find out more. Atherosclerosis is very serious and you should be checked often for other cardiovascular diseases.
