Post Stroke Treatment and Diagnosis
What is Post Stroke and How is it Diagnosed? "Post-stroke" or "post-stroke period" refers to the period of time following a stroke. A stroke occurs when there is a sudden disruption of blood flow to a part of the brain, leading to brain cell damage and, potentially,...
Mesenchymal Stem Cell Treatment for Crohn’s Disease
According to the CDC, an estimated 3.1 million adults (1.3%) in the United States have been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis. Characterized by abdominal pain, severe diarrhea,...
Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles and Their Role in Regenerative Medicine
Researchers continue to tout the potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as an evolving approach for the repair of damaged tissue or lost cells. Specifically, the ability of MSCs to differentiate and secrete beneficial factors and vesicles is believed to play...
Symptoms of Kidney Disease
What is Kidney Disease? Kidney disease, also known as renal disease or nephropathy, refers to a condition in which the kidneys are damaged or unable to function properly. The kidneys play a crucial role in filtering waste products, excess fluid, and toxins from the...
Cartilage Repair with Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common and widespread form of arthritis, affecting an estimated 655 million people worldwide. Occurring as a result of cartilage degeneration, OA is a progressive degenerative disorder that most commonly affects the joints of the hands,...
What is Transverse Myelitis?
Transverse myelitis is a neurological condition characterized by inflammation of the spinal cord. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the spinal cord, damaging the nerve fibers and causing various neurological symptoms. The inflammation in transverse...
What is Ozone IV Therapy?
Medical ozone refers to the therapeutic use of ozone gas in medical treatments. Ozone (O3) is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms, and it is a highly reactive form of oxygen. In medical ozone applications, the ozone gas is thought to stimulate the immune system,...
Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Their Contribution to Tissue Regeneration
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from a wide variety of tissues and organs have demonstrated immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties that contribute to a host of regenerative and immunomodulatory activities, including tissue homeostasis...
What Is Lyme’s Disease?
Lyme’s disease, also known as Lyme’s borreliosis, is a tick-borne infectious disease caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi or, less commonly, Borrelia mayonii. It is primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks (Ixodes...
What Foods Cause Inflammation?
Certain foods have the potential to cause inflammation in the body. While the response to food can vary from person to person, here are some common foods that have been associated with inflammation: Sugar: Foods high in added sugars, such as soda, candies, pastries,...
A New Therapeutic Strategy for Cardiovascular Diseases Utilizing Exosomes
Cardiovascular diseases continue to be the leading cause of death globally, accounting for nearly 18 million deaths each year with heart attack and stroke accounting for 80% of deaths. Recently, stem-cell-based therapy has demonstrated the potential to regenerate...
Symptoms of Brain Injury from Car Accident
Brain injuries resulting from car accidents can vary in severity, ranging from mild concussions to more severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). The symptoms experienced can also vary depending on the specific nature and extent of the injury. Here are some common...
