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.
Every mattress and box spring should work on a platform bed, though box springs are not necessary like they are with normal beds. So if you have been thinking about making the switch to a platform bed, you do not need to worry about what type of mattress or box spring you can use, as long as it is the correct size.
