Stem Cells May Be The Next Penicillin

By David Ebner For Beaver County Senior News

Chances are that you have heard about stem cells. But did

you know that stem cells are being used right now in the United States to treat debili-tating lung diseases? With advancements in the study of stem cells, the question is posed: are stem cells the next penicillin? Stem cells and

penicillin come from humble beginnings, they are both used to treat life-threatening conditions, and just like penicillin, stem cell biologists have won Nobel Prizes for their discoveries. Penicillin, originally discovered in 1928 by the Scottish biologist, Sir Alexander Fleming, did not see its full potential until WWII. It wasn’t until 1945, that Sir Fleming received the Nobel Prize.

Over time, stem cells have crept into the national dialogue as a buzzword, particularly the stem cells found in fetuses. However, the stem cells being used to treat diseases in the U.S., and the same cells that war-ranted the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine, are adult stem cells. This type of stem cell

is found fully developed in all people.

At the turn of the 20th cen-tury, biologists discovered that some cells in the body had not yet been assigned as a certain type of cell. The use of these cells to treat diseases traces back to 1968 when the first bone marrow transplant was performed. The result of placing healthy stem cells into a sick indi-vidual’s body is the creation of healthy blood cells that are not infected. In turn, these cells replace the dis-eased ones and start to heal the patient.

Today, a clinic called the Lung Institute is using adult stem cells from the patient’s own fat, blood or bone marrow to provide similar

healing results for people with lung diseases. The phy-sician gives the patient a growth factor that multiplies the stem cells into millions of healthy cells before extract-ing the stem cells from the patient, then they separate the cells and reintroduce them into the patient’s body. The result, healthy cells re-place the damaged ones found in the lungs.

Just as penicillin was recog-nized by the medical com-munity, so have stem cell de-velopments. If the number of people who have already been successfully treated with stem cells is any indica-tion of the future, then it will undoubtedly be heralded as one of the ground-breaking medical technologies of its time. BCSN

YOU’RE

INVITED!

THE NEXT GENERATION OF COPD TREATMENT IS HERE.

Join us for a stem cell seminar. Learn how the lung institute uses stem cells from a patient’s own body to regenerate healthy tissue, improving lung function and quality of life.

Keen-Age News . . . For Beaver County’s Active Seniors

June 2015 • Beaver County Senior News

By Angela Gentile, Planning Unit Program Monitor, Beaver County Office on Aging For Beaver County Senior News

Communication is a vital skill. There are different ways to communi-

cate and some people are better at it than others. Nowadays, young people communicate differently. Many older people and especially grandparents become frustrated trying to communi-cate with their grandchildren and other younger people. Have you ever heard grandparents say, “My grandkids do not answer their phone. Even if I leave a voice mail, they don’t call back. I had to learn how to text message and sometimes they don’t answer until several days later.” Older adults and even parents and family members say, “ Why are they always hooked up with earbuds on their cell phones? Why are they always looking at their phone?”

Cell phones have replaced face-to-face communication with many people, especially the younger generation. They use text messaging, Twitter and Instagram and other newer communi-cation programs. Parents say forget to about younger people listening to an answering machine message with a telephone land line. There will prob-ably come a day when landlines and

answering machines will be obsolete. Our great-great grandchildren will not be familiar with those terms.

Younger people are advancing in technology rapidly, as rapidly as tech-nology is changing itself. They like learning new things and we need to learn from them. As frustrated as we can be with the younger generation’s communication skills, younger adults have valuable skills that can benefit older adults. Let me tell you about some young people who help me to learn about technology.

About a year ago, I made a sugges-tion to the Beaver County Historical Research and Landmarks Foundation. I thought the group would benefit from using Facebook regularly. I said that before realizing what the next step would be! We would have to find someone familiar with social media. Our president, Julie, knew exactly what to do. She set up a Facebook page and eventually taught me how to enter in-formation and photos, and share infor-mation on Facebook as an organization. Patiently, when necessary, she answers all my questions and waits as I write down what I need to remember. We do communicate in person when I need her help, but many times we reach each other by text message or email. Even though I would be considered more of the baby boomer generation, I’m learn-ing from individuals like Julie, who is much younger than me. If you have the time, please visit our Facebook page at Beaver County Historical Research and Landmarks Foundation.

The “go to guy” for technology chal-lenges in my family is my nephew Patrick. I can count on him to help me with laptop and cell phone problems.

He’s been a great resource for getting the most from my digital camera. Learning how to download my vaca-tion pictures from my camera onto my laptop or CD then onto social media has been fantastic! Of course, I do not remember all the steps all the time. I have appreciated his patience and I have learned to write down the steps. When I need him, I don’t even try to call; I text or email him. If I don’t hear back, I go through my sister to reach him. It’s always worth the wait.

As technology moves forward, all of us our being required to use it. I am very fortunate to have some savvy people to assist me. Do you have someone to assist you? If not, ask your friends and relatives if there are some sharp people they know who would work with you. Recently, there was a magazine article that explained how a CEO of a major cor-poration meets with some of his younger staff monthly just to talk to them about technology so he can keep up to date and decide if the company needs to consider using different programs and devices.

Do you need to start learning all the new technologies? Or do you need to get some training in this area? Com-munity College of Beaver County offers different continuing education classes throughout the year. Center at the Mall offers various classes throughout the year on basic computer, intermediate computer, iPad and iPhone usage. Take the opportunity to learn some new things. Perhaps you will meet some young or older people who can help you on this technology journey. To see when classes start, contact Com-munity College of Beaver County at (724) 480-3575 or Center at the Mall at (724) 728-1422. BCSN

Joanne McDermitt, APPRISE co-ordinator for the Beaver County Office on Aging, is the recipient of

the prestigious Pennsylvania Depart-ment of Aging Secretary’s award. The award was presented on April 29 at the statewide APPRISE Conference in State College.

APPRISE is Pennsylvania’s State Health Insurance Program (SHIP), which ensures that Medicare beneficia-ries, and their families and caregivers are educated and empowered to make informed choices about health insur-ance. In addressing the more than 125 conference attendees, Pennsylvania Department of Aging acting secretary Teresa Osborne thanked the local coor-dinators and lead volunteers in atten-dance for their efforts, which resulted in about 200,000 beneficiaries being served last year. More than 700 volun-teers contributed about 77,000 hours of service, and helped Pennsylvania’s

Ombudsmen are trained individuals who advocate to resolve complaints on behalf of people who receive long term-care services. The Beaver County Office on Aging Ombudsman team includes paid staff, volunteers and resident peers. Staff and volunteers visit nursing homes and personal care homes monthly or more often, when needed. Visits to Dom Care homes and adult daily living centers are conducted annually.

They also represented the APPRISE program at countless meetings, legisla-tive senior expos, health fairs, farmer’s market distribution sites, open enroll-ment events and numerous stakeholder engagement and partnership activities.

Joanne recruits and trains new volun-teers, while managing to retain those already committed to sharing their skills with others. She also provides care management and assessment services to older residents of Beaver County who desire to access home and community based services. Because of her leadership skills, compassion and commitment, the Beaver County APPRISE program also received a per-formance award for meeting all of its Key Performance Measures, which in turn helped Pennsylvania as a whole to improve its overall state ranking.

By Valerie McElvy For Beaver County Senior News

The Aliquippa Meals on Wheels was the site chosen by RSVP

to visit for Community Champions Week, a point in time that recognizes the efforts of Meals on Wheels programs nationally.

The visit to the site was cer-tainly an eye-opening experi-ence. There is so much more

Aliquippa Meals on Wheels provides caring along with meal deliveryto this program than deliver-ing meals! Immediately after entering the facility, it be-comes obvious that the staff and volunteers are a very organized and caring group. They talked about how some folks don’t care for things like tuna, as an example. Special care is taken to make the lunch sandwiches with some other type of meat and to personalize the lunches when necessary.

When it was time to actu-ally deliver the meals, it was heartwarming to see the positive impact the visits have on the clients. Do you know that the volunteer delivering that meal may be the only person they see all day? This special delivery

is a reason to get up in the morning, something to look forward to and a reminder to take good care of themselves.

Along with the inevitable impacts of aging come the increased risks of medi-cal emergencies, falls and other accidents. The safety check that accompanies each meal delivery ensures that, in the case of an emergency or problem, medics will be called, families will be noti-fied and our seniors will not be forgotten.

Volunteers are desperately needed for the Meals on Wheels programs. If you have a few hours to spare once a day, once a week or even once a month, please

consider delivering a few meals for the Meals on Wheels program. To do so, call (724) 378-7547 or email [email protected].

Meals on Wheels is part of the Elderly Nutrition Programs in the US, which has roots that trace back to World War II. During the Blitz, when German planes bombarded English soil, many people in Britain lost their homes and their ability to cook meals for themselves. The Women’s Volunteer Service for Civil Defense responded to this emergency by preparing and delivering meals to their disadvantaged neighbors. These women also brought refreshments in canteens to servicemen during WW II. The canteens came to be known as “Meals on Wheels.” Thus, the first or-ganized nutrition program was born.

Seventy-six years later, Lu-theran Service Society is pre-paring and delivering meals for the Meals on Wheels program in Beaver County, as well as across America. BCSN
