Now who would have thought that this British Muslims plus the wannabe Muslims from there would be reading Electronic Intifada which was started by a Muslim? I guess they would say that Scientific American is being paid to publish about this invention coming out of Israel. I hope these British Muslims and wannabe Muslims from Britain who hate the Jews and Israel never use anything which comes out of Israel that might help them medically if they ever need it.Related news:
An investigation by The Electronic Intifada has revealed that the online publicationIsrael21c is hiring students as “digital ambassadors” to plant its stories in online discussion forums and social media without revealing that they work for the publication.
Israel21c is part of propaganda efforts aimed to improve Israel’s image and distract from Israel’s occupation, abuse and massacres of Palestinians.
Deceptive methods
....
Posing as a student interested in this internship, The Electronic Intifada spoke over the phone to a publicist responsible for recruitment.
He explicitly confirmed their intent to use deceptive methods.
Sam Bialosky of the public relations consultancy Miller Ink said, when posting their stories “you wouldn’t directly reference that you’re interning for Israel21c.” Bialosky made it clear to The Electronic Intifada’s undercover reporter: “that would sort of defeat the point of posting it.”
....
“What would be your job is to push that article out on social media,” Bialosky explained: “point to this sort of article on a community website, on a message board. Sort of a – ‘oh hey,’ you know, ‘you should look at this, here’s some good information on that.’”
Spin
Bialosky clarified that the goal of the program was not just to plant stories in the tech media, but in other specialist press too: “when a story about autism pops up … we’d like for that article to pop up on, say, I think its Autism Daily Digest.” This was possibly a reference to Autism Asperger’s Digest, a magazine about the neurodevelopmental condition.

So this spinal cord injuries thing ...

that would be treatment for their diabetes out, heart disease out, sickle cell anaemia out and most common injuries out. So what will they do when they are dying, I know ignore the commands of their god and live to fight another day.
What are you a want to be Jew? The US is strides in advances of medical treatments, esp. spinal. With all the money and privileges the Jews were raised with (money made off of Germans and US people), you think they'd own a piece of land bigger than 1/2 of Vermont. and wouldn't be taking money from the US , the peons.
Let us give thanks to Archimedes who is known as the Father of Mathematics. While we are at it, let us give thanks to Hippocrates who is known as the Father of Medicine. I don't think any of the anti-Semites here would have a problem with these two men, especially since they pre-dated Islam by many years. Now let us all give three cheers to all the medical and technological achievements coming out of the Muslim world today, even though nobody seems to have a list of them.I have to say, none of these advances would have been possible without mathematics. And had we stuck with Roman Numerals, even multiplication and division would have been immensely problematic.
So lets all agree that the foundation of all this science is down to Islamic scholars, who devised the number system we use in the west, laid the foundation for modern science and have so aided all these developments and many many more.

Was I talking about numbers, Bob? I thought it was achievments.You pose as an old man Hoss.
But your posts are like that of a young boy. Even a baby, if it learned to type.
I really have to wonder that you think claiming territory on "scientific advancement" is more than a piss take.
In case you didn't get it, the numbers thing was just a piss take of the "oooh our brains are soo BIG in Israel" nonsense.
Really Hoss. Are you actually a grown man?
(COMMENT)So you served in Baghdad?
Was it Michelin rated?
And you sound like some young punk who pushes down old ladies and runs off with their purses. You can say what you want to, but all you petty anti-Semites can't stand to see posted any contributions to humanity coming from Israel or else you would have kept quiet about this or just have said a simple thing such as what a great thing for someone who would need this. That is what a mature person would have said.You pose as an old man Hoss.

Israeli Research Gives Hope For Spinal Cord Injuries
What's the most catastrophic illness that can befall us? To me, it's a spinal cord injury (SCI) that results in total paralysis. During a recent visit to Israel, I interviewed Dr. Shimon Rochkind, world-renowned neurosurgeon at the Tel Aviv University Sourasky Medical Center, an expert on SCI.
Every year 12,000 North Americans sustain spinal cord injury. The people involved are usually under the age of 30 and 80% are males. Some, like Christopher Reeves of Superman fame, fall from horses. Others dive into shallow water or are involved in car accidents.
Dr. Rochkind has spent his life trying to accomplish what's said to be impossible. Time and time again we've been told that some tissues of the body can regenerate, but never the spinal cord. Christopher Reeves received the best treatment money could buy, but he never walked again. What I witnessed in Rochkind's laboratory shows that what we've accepted as gospel for centuries is no longer true.
Rochkind first showed me motion pictures of a rat running around his cage. Later, he surgically removed half a centimetre (a quarter of an inch) of the rat's spinal cord which resulted in complete paralysis of the hind legs. Normally without a complete spinal cord, the rat would never walk again.
But motion photos taken several weeks later revealed that the rat was now moving his legs. It was not doing so as perfectly as before, but good enough to get around his cage quickly.
So what had Dr. Rochkind done to partially reverse the paralysis? He had to overcome several problems. First, he had to bridge the gap between the severed nerve, and then nourish the nerve and stimulate its growth. Finally, he had to encourage the first step as one does with an infant.
The first solution was to develop what Rochkind calls a "genetically-engineered implant," thousands of times more difficult than designing a hip replacement. This meant experimenting with several different types of tissue. One implant involved human spinal cord cells. But a major advance was his eventual discovery that it was possible to use cells taken from the lining of the adult human nose.
What tissue will be used in the final implant is unknown, but at the moment it's composed of a highly complex assortment of hyaluronic acid, neuronal growth factor, antioxidants such as vitamin C and other ingredients. This mass of material is encompassed in a soft biodegradable tube placed between the severed nerve endings, acting as a scaffold for the implant.
Had he lived, could Christopher Reeve have walked again? Rochkind is convinced that the possibility will happen within his lifetime. It may not be a perfect walk, but patients with these injuries will not be immobilized for the rest of their lives.
Not all nerve injuries, however, are spinal cord ones. For instance, some involve the peripheral nerves of the arm or legs. It's these types of injuries that cripple thousands of soldiers fighting in Afghanistan and other war sites.
Rochkind's laboratory is making great advances with these injuries. The big problem has always been the rapid loss of muscle mass once a nerve is injured. After all, what's the use of regenerating the nerve if there's no muscle tissue left to function?
For these peripheral injuries, Rochkind is using laser phototherapy, which provides an immediate protective effect. This therapy not only helps to prevent muscle loss, but also helps to regenerate nerves and aids in restoring muscle mass. Laser therapy is given two hours a day for 21 days. The sooner it is started, the better the results.
Researchers in Israel are also trying to use stem cells to produce dopamine, the substance lacking in patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease.
I left Israel impressed and amazed at how this tiny country with no natural resources, fighting for its very existence since 1948, could accomplish so much in research. As they say, it's not the size of the dog that wins the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. And I'd predict that Dr. Rochkind's innovative work is headed for a Nobel Prize in medicine.

Here comes Pishy with her little "sh*tty state" again. She has been saying that for years and years ever since she hooked up with some NeoNazi and appeared on Stormfront. Nobody is asking you to use anything that Israel has come up with, are they, Pishy, not even if it would be advantageous to you. Meanwhile, since Pishy always wanted to give everyone the impression that she was so intelligent, she is the one who is going to give us a list of all the Arab accomplishments in the modern world of today.Israeli Research Gives Hope For Spinal Cord Injuries

(COMMENT)The NeoNazi that you speak of was the first to inform me that the Auschwitz death toll was considerably less than that originally stated as being true by those whom you champion. Do the math . . . if one originally purports that total deaths, in any situation, were six million and then corrects an instance, out of the total, where approximately four million was reduced to approximately one million, would you still have six million <guffaw>? Thinking that you would still not have anything less than six million could very well put you in jail if you lived in Europe and if you don't fear this you are a compete fool. ~ Susan
Why has the official death count of Auschwitz reduced from an original 4 million to 1-1.5 million
It wasn't the Canadian NeoNazi who told you that, although you did have a nice conversation with him that was featured on Stormfront. You went to David Irving's hate site to find that out. As far as Holocaust denial, the reason for this is so your Nazi friends wouldn't look like such bad guys and then the Nazi party could rise again as a viable political party. You must be ecstatic that there is so much anti-Semitism in Europe these days. I think you would be comfortable joining the Golden Dawn in Greece. They would be right up you alley. You really sound like a broken record, Pishy, with your silly "guffaws" and other worn-out expressions which you think are so clever.Here comes Pishy with her little "sh*tty state" again.
