  • The first clinical trials involving a patient receiving human embryonic stem cells began in October 2010 at the Shepard Center, a spinal cord injury hospital in Atlanta. (cbc.ca)
  • Embryonic stem cells come from embryos, embryonic germ cells from testes, and adult stem cells can come from bone marrow. (cbc.ca)
  • Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that retain the ability to divide throughout life and give rise to cells that take the place of cells that die or are lost due to age or injury. (vetsportsrehabco.com)
  • Adult Mesenchymal Stem cells (MSC's) are found in many tissues in the body including blood, bone marrow and fat. (vetsportsrehabco.com)
  • From 30 gram's of fat millions of stem cells can be extracted and concentrated for injection into injuries. (vetsportsrehabco.com)
  • Treatments for DSD vary from the specific area of the disease. (frederickearlstein.com)
  • Conservative treatments should always be contemplated as an alternative method for patients with poor bone stock. (scienceopen.com)
  • Challenges such as cushion rupture, spondylitis, spondylosis, the effect of TB on spondyloma, tumor on spondyloma, and injury of spondyloma are major areas that require urgent medical interventions. (bilkulonline.com)
  • Paget's disease of bone (osteitis deformans) is an idiopathic, progressive disease characterized by abnormal and accelerated bone metabolism in one or more bones. (nih.gov)
  • Progressive spinal degeneration with age is also thought to be a major contributor. (scienceopen.com)
  • Its name dates back to the 17th century, when the English anatomist Thomas Wharton first identified the jellylike substance that surrounds vital parts inside the umbilical cord. (articlecity.com)
  • Family-directed umbilical cord blood banking. (cryosave.co.za)
  • Prevalence of medical conditions potentially amenable to cellular therapy among families privately storing umbilical cord blood. (cryosave.co.za)
  • Nevertheless, every effort should be made to improve distal arterial flow in patients with TAO, and autologous vein bypass of coexistent large-vessel atherosclerotic stenoses should be considered in patients with severe ischemia who have an acceptable distal target vessel. (medscape.com)
  • This technique allowed good differentiation of bone, arterial and venous densities. (the-medical-dictionary.com)
  • BP act in the regulation of osteoclast function by decreasing bone resorption by different mechanisms, inhibiting the development of their precursor cells, increasing apoptosis rate, stimulating inhibitor factors and reducing its activity 28 . (bvsalud.org)
  • Many of the childhood vaccine-preventable diseases include epidemiologic criteria (e.g., exposure to probable or confirmed cases of disease) in the case definitions. (cdc.gov)
  • Testing may include blood tests, radiography (X-ray imaging), bone scans, computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diagnostic injections, electromyography (EMG) and many other specialized tests. (wnyrehabandpain.com)
  • But if their condition is severe, they will need surgery to correct the kneecap placement. (packlove.com)
  • Children over 5 years old and adults usually do not receive Hib vaccine, but it might be recommended for older children or adults with asplenia or sickle cell disease, before surgery to remove the spleen, or following a bone marrow transplant. (healthychildren.org)
  • No patient underwent a bone scan before surgery in order to assess the maturity of the ossification. (the-medical-dictionary.com)
  • If non-surgical options are not effective, some conditions may require surgery, and injuries may require surgery first. (sanramonmedctr.com)
  • Neurologic injuries following long instrumentation are often serious and difficult to address with surgery alone. (scienceopen.com)
  • Heterotopic ossification has also been observed in non-traumatic conditions (e.g., infections of the central nervous system, peripheral neuropathy, tetanus, biliary cirrhosis, Peyronie's disease, as well as in association with a variety of benign and malignant neoplasms). (nih.gov)
  • Hib bacteria can cause mild illness, such as ear infections or bronchitis, or they can cause severe illness, such as infections of the bloodstream. (healthychildren.org)
  • Fat-suppression also helps in eliminating competing fat signals from other soft tissues and the bone marrow. (frederickearlstein.com)
  • Abnormal gait may be caused by diseases in different areas of the body. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of etidronate disodium in heterotopic ossification following total hip replacement or due to spinal cord injury. (nih.gov)
  • Heterotopic ossification due to spinal cord injury typically develops radiographically 1 to 4 months after injury. (nih.gov)
  • This gave good differentiation of the heterotopic bone from the adjacent vessels. (the-medical-dictionary.com)
  • The condition causing the spinal cord disorder is corrected if possible. (nomsdrs.com)
  • Spinal cord disease is any disorder or condition causing damage and deterioration to the spinal cord. (nomsdrs.com)
