Greetings!
It's Spina Bifida Awareness Month.
Spina Bifida remains the most commonly occurring complex birth defect
occurring in this country; it has no known cause. In recognition of the
need for more education about Spina Bifida and research into its
treatment and prevention, Spina Bifida Association (SBA) has announced
October as Spina Bifida National Awareness Month.
Spina Bifida is not one condition; it is a multitude of problems that
affect the mind, the body and the spirit. Advancements in treatment
and prevention, however, have opened new doors for those with Spina
Bifida. While it presents unique challenges, those affected by Spina
Bifida are able to attend school, work, raise a family, and spend time
with friends just like everyone else.

others. If new strategies under development work in humans, they "would
allow people to have a prosthetic that functions like a normal hand and
provides sensory feedback," said Dr. Paul S. Cederna, one of the
principal investigators behind the research. In addition, he said, the research could do the same thing for prosthetic legs... READ MORE
