There is no cure for Cerebral Palsy. There are, however, many treatments that can reduce the effects of CP and also help the child learn ways of adapting to the movement difficulties. The main form of treatment is outpatient therapy.

In a study published in PLOS ONE, researchers describe two types of GGAA-microsatellites and their roles in EWS/FLI binding and gene regulation in Ewing sarcoma. Ewing sarcoma is the second most common pediatric bone malignancy. It is initiated by chromosomal translocation t(11;22)(q24;q12), which creates the fusion protein and oncogenic driver EWS/FLI. “The work to understand the subtleties of how the EWS/FLI and GGAA-microsatellites interact to drive oncogenesis is foundational to our ability to develop new therapeutics against transcription factor-driven cancers,” says Stephen Lessnick, MD, PhD, director of the Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Diseases at Nationwide Children’s and senior author of the publication....

Caffeine is a stimulant - and that includes stimulating the heart. In overdose it acts like an amphetamine, but is more likely than amphetamine to trigger seizures....
