Stem Cells for the FA: The Court says no to the rejection of judges in Florence.


It was rejected the application for disqualification of judges filed by the parents of a 12 years old girl who suffer from a Friedreich Ataxia, the Florence court authority deny to access at "compassionate use" with the method of stem cells.

Questa volta però il lieto fine ancora non c'è, in quanto è stata respinta la richiesta di ricusazione dei giudici presentata dai genitori di una ragazzina di 12 anni affetta da una malattia degenerativa - Atassia di Friedreich - alla quale il tribunale di Firenze ha negato l'autorizzazione ad accedere alle cure compassionevoli con metodo Stamina.

Thus, our report suggests that memantine may have some general suppressive effect on saccadic intrusions, including both SWI and MSO, thereby restoring the capacity of reading and visual attention in these and in other recessive forms of ataxia, including Friedreich’s, in which saccadic intrusions are prominent.
