According to this article published today by the Listin Diario, in my opinion this is a sign of how backward we are in terms of "law" are procedures that we should have adopted earlier.
quote the article:
"
Public Health Minister Bautista Rojas Gomez, said yesterday that immediately begin notifying medical facilities to refrain practicing procedures with stem cells, as did the specialist Leonel Liriano with major leaguers Bartolo Colon.
Bautista Rojas said they were first waiting for the National Council on Bioethics in Health (CONABIO) is a public health agency, give their opinion, to proceed immediately. He recalled that there are penalties that can be applied to those who do not benefit from the provisions in this regard.
Dr. Leonel Liriano, who along with Joseph Purita American doctor in the Dominican Republic made stem cell process to the player Bartolo Colon in April 2010 revealed that about 10 pitchers have shown interest in the treatment, which is attributed part of success of the player this season with the New York Yankees.
"Since that came out the history of the process we asked Bartolo contacted me about 10 pitchers both foreigners and Dominicans as ages 21 to 37 years interested in submitting to it, "he said.
In this regard, CONABIO warned yesterday that none of the procedures done at home with stem cells are approved for implementation, as unproven safety or the risks posed by long-term. CONABIO
Dr. Aura Celeste Fernandez, president of CONABIO, and Dr. Miguel Montalvo, executive director, expressed the great concern there because in the country are applying treatments and doing stem cell research are not approved by that body, which is the body responsible for ensuring compliance with ethical standards in health research carried out in the country.
said that the agency does not approve the application of these treatments until completion of clinical studies supporting its safety and safety. They called
nationwide warning for people to no longer be subjected to such procedures, and said doctors who fail both Dominicans and foreigners are doing therapies and stem cell research, the protocols have not been approved by CONABIO.
Indicated that the promotion that makes the case of baseball Bartolo Colon, they fear that a lot of people want to come to the country to undergo such treatment without taking clear that ultimately no harm. They said they try to avoid like the Council that people are taken as "guinea pigs" for such procedures, which do not have clear long-term risks.
"We are making a clarion call to citizens to people not exposed to treatments that sold as safe or effective without the proper approval," said Fernandez. Liriano
DOCTOR SAYS SURGERY HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD
Dr. Leonel Liriano said last night Listin Diario that respects any decision of the Ministry of Public Health and the National Council on Bioethics in Health, but understands that is not well understood, what it is what it has achieved.
"I think that the country has not adequately explained and not understood properly. Because
CONABIO otherwise was not providing those statements that are giving and therefore if CONABIO acts that way the minister has to respond, "he said.
The doctor reported that bone marrow has been used and that the only novelty is that there was not a procedure performed of its kind in sports medicine.
"All orthopaedists, working for example with a backbone, are working with bone marrow to be a reinforcement. I mean, I'm not using anything here do not practice and what I've done is use in my area, sports medicine.
That this has not been done or had seen in that way, "he added.
Liriano said that since it offered information on the process of stem cells that underwent the major league star, his life has not had two minutes of quiet, so he asked for some understanding.
REGENERATION
The stem cell is capable of self-renewal divisions by cell differentiation and produce one or more tissues.
GUINEA PIGS
