Taxol stabilizes growing nerve cells and reduces the barrier-function of scar tissue
After a spinal cord injury a number of factors impede the regeneration of nerve cells. Two of the most important of these factors are the destabilization of the cytoskeleton and the development of scar tissue. While the former prevents regrowth of cells, the latter creates a barrier for severed nerve cells.
Apps designed for SmartPhones (Blackberry, Iphone, Android) and IPads can help increase independence and improve the quality of life for people who have limited mobility from paralysis. These apps can be powerful tools for people living with a spinal cord injury or using a wheelchair due to another injury or disease. The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation have created the Guide to the Best Apps for People Living with Paralysis to help people find those apps that will most enhance their lives.
“"I wanted to find a role with an agency that cared about me as well as the clients. I heard about Care For You from a friend who said it was the best agency she had ever worked for. I was sceptical but after making contact and having an interview I was convinced. I now have a full time role as a care team member and I don’t have to worry about my hours or traveling far and wide – I work with 2 clients nearby to home. I like that Care For You meets with the clients and us weekly in their homes and goes with the caregiver the first visit to introduce them. I also like that if I need to sound off or have a problem, I call Care For You and am treated with respect and patience. I feel comfortable giving them input and discussing issues."” Barbara Care Team Member
