While researchers still have nothing tangible to give people like Reeve, they are certain that in addition to MP and 4-AP, therapies are imminent. They do not predict that patients will be running the 100, but they do believe patients will be able to feed themselves, use the bathroom on their own and lead fairly independent lives. Interestingly, Young says there is little evidence to suggest that the longer paralysis lasts, the worse are the chances of recovering some function. "It's important that patients not allow their muscles to atrophy," says Young. "I usually tell people that...
...nearly empty that weekend. Dana and Will, his three-year-old son who was along for the trip, were summoned, Dana not yet informed of the extent of the injury, Will not understanding what had happened except that something was terribly wrong. Doctors at Culpeper gave Reeve methylprednisolone (MP), a synthetic steroid that reduces the swelling of the spine and must be administered within eight hours of an injury. That was all they could do at Culpeper. At the hospital, Dana was told that he had no better than a 50% chance of making it. He was flown...
Methylprednisolone is a major advance in the spinal-cord research for which Reeve is now seeking support. An NIH-supported study showed that if MP was given within eight hours of a spinal-cord injury, a patient could save about 20% more neurons than if the drug was not used. For some, this 20% could mean the difference between breathing on their own and having to use a ventilator. Doctors speculate that at high doses, MP no longer acts as a steroid but instead inhibits the breakdown of fats into the dangerous free radicals that are like acid to cell...
