In the fourth episode of the third season of Broadcastability, hosts Chloë Atkins and Zephyr Atkins-Mitra interview Drs. Harold Atkins (no relation), Santhosh Thyagu, and Carolina Rush of The Ottawa Hospital. They talk to them about their unique approach to fighting autoimmune disease by using stem cell transplantation to “re-boot” the body’s immune system. Working together, they try to better manage these types of chronic illness and their accompanying disabling experiences.
The PROUD Project’s Co-Executive Director, Chloë G. K. Atkins, recently underwent a stem cell transplant under their care to treat a severe form of myasthenia gravis, a rare neuromuscular autoimmune disease.

Dans ce quatrième épisode de la troisième saison de Broadcastability, nos hôtes, Chloë Atkins et Zephyr Atkins-Mitra ont interviewé quelques médecins travaillant à l'hôpital d'Ottawa: Dr Harold Atkins (sans lien avec Chloë Atkins), Dr Santhosh Thyagu, et Dr Carolina Rush. Ils nous parlent de la méthode qu'ils utilisent afin de combattre les maladies auto-immunes en utilisant la greffe de cellules souches pour "réinitialiser" le système immunitaire. En travaillant ensemble, ils essayent d'améliorer le quotidien des personnes souffrant de maladies chroniques, ainsi que les expériences handicapantes qui accompagnent souvent ce type de maladies.
La Co-directrice exécutive du Projet PROUD, Chloë G. K. Atkins, a récemment reçu un transfert de cellules souches de cette équipe médicale en question afin de traiter une forme sévère de myasthénie grave, une maladie neuromusculaire auto-immune rare.
