“An unborn baby was treated through her umbilical cord for a rare genetic condition—the same disease that killed her two older siblings—and the pioneering procedure prevented the infant’s death.

It’s the first time in history Pompe disease has been treated in utero, and it could represent a life-saving new standard of care that’s safe and effective for both mother and infant.

In Canada, the parents of 16-month-old Ayla were relieved when she was born as expected, with no signs of the disease that can cause lethal heart complications. Pompe affects fewer than 1 in 100,000 infants, but this inherited condition arising from a defective gene copy is often fatal…

In March of 2021, Ayla’s mother entered an Ottawa maternal hospital and over the following weeks received 6 injections of an infant-Pompe drug called alglucosidase alfa into the umbilical vein, a delivery method that’s established for treating anemia in a fetus.

Ayla was born on schedule without any signs of the disease. She’s met normal developmental milestones and doesn’t show any loss of motor function. She still receives regular ERT. The results were compiled and published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

“Our results are consistent with in utero ERT attenuating or even halting the disease process in the fetal period,” the doctors wrote in their case report.” -via Good News Network, 11/29/22

yknow what would be a fucked up phone feature

No, I don’t. Please, proceed.

if whenever you plugged it in you had to manually enable charging mode and there was no built in way to automate it

That would be fucked up.

yknow what would be more fucked up

Football field full of viruses.

Abraham Lincoln teeth sculpture.

Really big vampire.

Inside-out Sweden.

if they added automatic charging mode but paywalled it

Yeah that’s pretty fucked up.

K this is a real problem for public libraries trying to supply their communities with media. We can’t buy those shows on DVD either. And what about bringing the community together to watch a show or movie? We can’t get licensing for it. We can’t preserve those shows if streaming services never release them on DVD. It’s frustrating and concerning.
