In other words, the body makes autoantibodies, and actually attacks itself. At the same time, special cells called regulatory T cells (Treg) fail to do their job of keeping the immune system in line. The resulting damage is dependent on the type of autoimmune disease. Overall, autoimmune diseases are common, affecting up to 50 million Americans. They are one of the leading causes of death and disability in this country. Coronado Biosciences is currently focused on the following autoimmune diseases but many other autoimmune diseases may be amendable to treatment with TSO.
Posted on July 29, 2010 by Kim. A platform bed is a bed frame, often with head and foot board, with many wood slats running from side to side, which are preferably no more than 3 apart in order to provide proper support for your mattress. A traditional bed can also have wood slats, but typically has only 1-3 to help support a foundation or box spring. The difference between a traditional bed and a platform bed, is that you can place a mattress directly on a platform bed without a box spring or foundation. With a traditional bed, you would place a box spring or foundation upon the bed frame and then your mattress would be placed on top.
A toddler bed is a small bed designed for toddlers and is used as a transitional bed between an infant bed and an ordinary bed. Commonly these beds will have low side rails (cot sides, possibly removable) on each side to prevent accidental rolling out of the bed while asleep, rather than being fully enclosed like an Infant bed. A toddler bed is low to the ground to facilitate safe and easy entry and exit for the occupant. The mattress in a toddler bed is often the same size as that in an infant bed. As toddlers are learning to express their tastes, licensed or themed beds to appeal to their preferences are available (for example, a racing car bed). See also.
