Dr. Joanne
Kurtzberg,
director of Duke's
Pediatric Bone
Marrow and
Transplant program
and director of
the Carolinas
Cord Blood Bank,
has begun a U.S.
Food and Drug
Administration-authorized
random clinical
trial to see if
cord blood stem
cells have the
ability to cure or
lessen spastic
cerebral palsy in
children aged 1 to
6.
Dr. Kurtzberg
treated baby John,
whose parents
banked his cord
blood with MAZE.

Funniest
Pregnancy Stories

When I was around
eight months
pregnant I was
sitting on my bed
sewing, All of a
sudden I felt wet on
my leg, I told my
husband that I
thought my water
broke. Off to the
hospital we go. They
tested the fluid and
my water was not
even leaking. We
went home where it
dawned on me, I was
sitting on our water
bed and had stuck
the middle in the
bed. We had a good
laugh and my husband
said, don't sew on
the bed anymore
OK??"
