The healing potential of stem cells
No matter what a person is great: it all started from an egg and sperm. This means that there are cells that have the potential to form an entire human being. These first cells were born from the egg fertilized, cells are called totipotent. After a few days in the womb, forms the so-called blastocyst. The cells contained therein are called embryonic stem cells. They do not yet specialized and have the ability to divide indefinitely and develop into almost 220 different cell types present in the human being at the end, however, from single cells, can no longer be a whole human being. They have lost their totipotency and are called pluripotent then. Once completed the development of the human, these cells become mature originally undifferentiated, have become differentiated cells and have assumed a special function in our body. In this way you have the nerve cells can transmit electrical impulses, the muscle cells that can contract and pancreatic ß cells, capable of producing insulin.
But even in adulthood, the skin regenerates, the wounds heal and hair grows. Until we die, our bodies are still relatively undifferentiated cells still capable of multiplying with a certain frequency and that help the body to heal and regenerate. These cells are called adult stem cells. Adult stem cells have been detected so far in any human tissue, among others, skin, brain, blood, liver and bone marrow.
biological function of adult stem cells
If a human body tissue is damaged, stem cells are activated immediately at the point in question and stimulate the healing process. But even the everyday processes of the human body take place thanks to the functionality of stem cells: our red blood cells and white blood cells only survive 120 to 130 days, after which they too "old" to be able to carry enough oxygen and must be replaced. This task is taken from the hematopoietic cells present in bone marrow and capable of generating blood cells. According to theoretical calculations, every minute are produced about 350 million new red blood cells. But most of the other cells of the body are replaced regularly: liver cells after 10-15 days, the white blood cells after 1 -3 days.
In theory, the human body has consistently provided its own system of "repair". But: why some people get sick yet so hopeless? And why the body ages, but if it comes with the ability to regenerate itself constantly?
limits the regenerative capacity
A current theory has it that adult stem cells are so "call", that is attracted to the site of injury by certain neurotransmitters, while not showing up very often enough, or do not arrive at all due to the occlusion blood vessel. An injury does not heal or heal very slowly at all if the cause of the disease still exists. It may also happen that certain diseases start to run silently, and that the body does not recognize then as a condition requiring a repair.
A further problem is the fact that adult stem cells age. Although they possess a much higher regenerative potential than that of other specialized cells of the body, this potential seems to run out at the latest within 130 years. Consider, for example, that the world's oldest woman currently living in France and well 122 years.
The aging process can not be stopped. Modern medicine, however, can take stem cells from the body, to purify, concentrate, and thereafter to apply them directly on the site of injury. In this way, you get in many cases, a reinforcement of the physiological process of healing.
stem cells from cord blood
Today, many parents require to freeze stem cells from cord blood of their newborn in order to give their children the possibility, in case of a serious disease, to have their own adult stem cells. E ', for that matter, a reasonable choice, since these cells are apparently less differentiated than those in the blood and the bodies of adults have a higher potential of transformation in different cell types. In addition, the fact that these stem cells have an immunological effect are not understood and thus possibly also suitable to be planted on other people. However, there are some limitations to consider. They can cause problems if the donors do not retain or levying stem cells while respecting the international quality standard "Good Manufacturing Practice, or if the stem cells from cord blood are not isolated, but instead proceed to freeze the whole stored blood. In the first case, no hospital will never get permission to use frozen cells, while in the latter case, the stem automatically report the damage as a result of the necessary additives and antifreeze long time to thaw. In both cases, the stored stem cells are almost unusable.
However, there are other things to consider when taking stem cells from cord blood. The predisposition to a disease such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease, leukemia or any other form of cancer, may be inherent in their stem, so that the disease could then be retransmitted. Moreover, in the cord blood is only a limited number of stem cells. However, since the therapy requires a minimum number of cells, researchers are working on multiplication of adult stem cells outside the body, such research also involved the XCell-Center. If you arrive at a result, it can be assumed that the use of stem cell storage will soon become a frequent practice. That the exceptional opportunity to take stem cells from cord blood is already profitable overall, it shows a figure supplied by the trade magazine "The Lancet", according to which, since 1989, there were already more than 7,000 transplants performed internationally with stem cells isolated from cord blood.

List of dog breeds
The English Cocker Spaniel is a breed of hunting dog, originally selected for the hunting of Woodcock (Woodcock in English). Good swimmer, it is suitable to work in the swamp.
There is also the American Cocker Spaniel. This is not a variety, but a breed unto itself, officially recognized and described in its own breed standard.
Description
At birth, the Cocker measure around the ground as from withers withers to the root of the tail (they say it is "within").
cheerful character of the corner by the incessant movement and joyful, especially when it follows a track regardless of the difficulties of the terrain, the Cocker Spaniel has a well developed head and chiseled with very pronounced stop place midway between nose and occiput .
The mouth must have strong jaws with teeth that closes a complete scissor bite. The eyes, never clear, they must give a sweet and intelligent, always alert, lively and cheerful. The ears should be set low at eye level and reach lengths of up to truffles, as well as being well covered with long hair, smooth and silky.
The muscular neck should come out clean from the shoulders well laid back and not have a dewlap. The trunk, very compact, it must have the top line that slides tilted towards the tail. The chest should be well developed with the chest is not large but not too tight.
the tail is slightly lower than the ridge line and must be in motion during fast-paced action and carried horizontally and never turned up. If, however, must be amputated clearly visible without disturbing the dog to work. If natural uncut, the tail helps to provide an overall appearance of balance.
Harmonic shapes in motion the action of the cocker broke up, and large firm with big strides and taking of land. The weight of a cocker spaniel must not exceed 14.5 kg (minimum 12.5 kg) in the standard. The height at the withers for males is 39-41 cm for females of 38-39 cm.
The hair may be black, black and tan, fawn, black and white, blur, pure tricolor, tricolor roan, biancoarancio, liver. Must be smooth and silky, never rough and wavy, not too profuse and never curly. Good fringes on the front and rear legs just above the hocks.
The males should have two apparently normal testicles fully descended into the scrotum.
Any variation from these points is considered a fault and the seriousness with which it is considered equal in exact proportion to its degree and the subsequent effect it has on the health and welfare of the dog.
Character
is a docile dog, and extremely sensitive. Like all hunting dogs have an innate social instinct, so it is suitable to live with family and other animals.
is looking lively and cuddles and caresses both the master from strangers ("Merry Cocker").
Not a dog leash that lends itself readily as being a hunting dog tends to pull and does not lend much training being very stubborn.
On the other hand will fill you with cuddles up to old age, a dog is very durable. She loves the company of other animals, and coexists easily with cats.
Diseases
The breed is, however, subject to certain serious genetic diseases, some seriously debilitating, other deadly . These include the FN (FN), the progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) and Dispase hip.
The FN (FN) is an autosomal recessive inheritance, recognized in Cocker Spaniels for over 50 years, and for which there is no cure: the dog is irremediably lead to premature death (the dogs not getting through to 2 years old). It occurs when two healthy carriers (carriers) are coupled together, giving rise to 25% of sick puppies, 25% healthy (which are not carriers and will never develop the disease) and 50% of other carriers. The problems due to FN Cocker appear between 4 and 6 months of age. Clinical symptoms include polydipsia (excessive thirst), polyuria (excessive urination), weight loss, poor appetite, vomiting or diarrhea. These symptoms are the same as to any matter relating to a kidney malfunction. The disease is progressive and gradual, the dogs are affected show no symptoms except when the stage of the disease is already advanced, that is when 75% of renal function is compromised.
As of December 2006 is available for Europe as a test for the genetic identification of glomerular collagen mutation that gives rise to this terrible disease: the first was not possible, unless you did testing in America, identify healthy carriers of the disease.
progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) is a dysplasia of retinal photoreceptors (rods and cones) in suppository base autosomal recessive. This disease causes a progressive decrease of visual acuity following a complete degeneration of rods and cones: the outcome is blindness. Also for the PRA is available a genetic test to identify healthy, sick or healthy carriers.
dysplasia of the hip joint is the primary hip joint pathology present in all breeds and is the most common cause of osteoarthritis at the expense of that joint. To identify dysplasia is necessary to make x-rays are to be sent to central Reading authorized.
Notes
On 7 May 2007, reintroduces the possibility of tail docking for dogs belonging to breeds for which it is provided by the standard of the FCI

My Story - My history
I was born and grew up surrounded by animals, especially dogs and horses ..
but ..
E 'all started when I was 5 years ago approximately 9 years and a dear family friend introduced himself to our house with a fluffy, paffuttello and tan cocker that I was immediately hooked! was my Christmas present ..
! Ours was "love at first sight"
; called him Charlie Charlie Brown
thinking, why do you always moved by dragging its cover for the whole house of Linus!
In March, in Marina di Carrara made an exhibition of amateur beauty. We did not know what it was but a little 'curious decided to bring Charlie. It was my first wonderful experience, Charlie won best puppy and 3rd in special hunting dogs.
I was in seventh heaven, and from there was born my passion for the expo.
For this I thank the dear Nicholas Maisto, the judge, who believed in me and taught me to lead the dog in the ring revealing tricks and techniques.
From amateur races where I had great success I started attending races Enci and cultivating my passion to get and still get good positions.
Hand I grew older I felt an almost uncontrollable desire to have another baby, but my dear father was not very sure ..! After a long, painful and agonizing wait in Christmas 2007 my parents took me Angela Francini rearing to choose a puppy so desired, "Francini's Everlasting."
I still remember that day and I am sure that I will never forget ... I got in my hands that flock pitch black trotting around the farm with a passage from my favorite re.Era and fell in love.
What can I say ... I immediately started to attend the expo and to obtain satisfactory results even in the junior class and I hope I can give great satisfaction in the future
that now is not missed, and Ever is a promising young enci Up to now, 19 months, has won CAC, CACIB, BOB and finished on the podium of various grouped together ..!
last summer because of my passion, my parents gave me an internship by my esteemed Ejerstad handler.
were unforgettable three days where I shared my experience as a junior handler with 30 other participants. I close with some pure friendship.
And now I find myself in various national and international ring with dogs of various breeds to try and get some good results ...
The story continues, I will continue to cultivate my passion in dogs and to breed only to love and to improve this wonderful breed ..
With Giuliano Nardi gave me Charlie. And it all started from here ...
Maisto thank Nicola for helping me grow into the world of dogs and all friends of the expo amateur.
I thank my parents who are trying to make do with sacrifice and follow me and encourage me to grow this wonderful passion that is the handling and dogs.
Thanks to Angela Francini to which I feel bound by a common passion and I hope that I can grow to become a "BIG" as her! I love you.
thank Mia for what they taught me, I put into practice his teachings and I must say I very pleased.
Thanks also to all the friends and friends cocker that cheering for me, gives me courage and desire to always improve.
I thank all those who rely on their dogs and that, in future, entrust them to me ...
And last but not least important because ...
Thanks to Roberto and Natalia Salvadori toilet "Edward Manidiforbice" Viareggio for the patience you have in the care of my dogs.
Thanks to those who always supports me.
