Using the Canadian context as a case study, research reported here focuses on in-depth qualitative interviews with 36 researchers, artists and trainees engaged in ‘doing’ arts-based health (ABHR). We begin to address gap ABHR knowledge by engaging critical inquiry regarding issues, challenges benefits of methodologies. Specifically, this paper tensions experienced academic legitimacy use arts producing disseminating research. Four central areas tension associated are described: balancing...
Some patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) do not respond to conventional treatment and have severe or life-threatening symptoms. Alternate emerging therapies yet proved consistently durably effective. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) has been effective in treating other autoimmune neurologic conditions may similar application MG.To report 7 cases of MG treated autologous HSCT which consistent, durable, symptom-free, treatment-free remission was achieved.This retrospective...
