  • Full Recovery From Stroke May Be Made Possible By Stem Cells
    Nov

    2017

    According to statistics provided by the World Health Organisation, every year, 15 million people experience a Stroke. From this figure, roughly ⅓  are expected to die from the condition, while another ⅓ are permanently disabled due to damage caused by the disease. Within minutes, a Stroke can cause massive damage to millions of neurons in the brain. Due to the severity of the disease, researchers are working to develop novel treatments to better address Stroke. One of the most promising treatments under development utilises Stem Cell Therapy.

    A study led by Dileep R. Yavaga, Chief of Interventional Neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine has found that stem cells are able to identify damaged areas and produce chemical agents that have the ability to rejuvenate tissue that is damaged by the onset of a Stroke.

    According to Yavaga, the body is able to naturally perform repairs on damaged brain tissue in Stroke patients. However, he also notes that due to the complex nature of the human brain as well as the gravity of damage commonly observed, the repairs are usually inadequate.

    At present, the team is utilising stem cells to augment the body’s natural ability to repair damaged brain tissue. The research yielded a novel achievement, a safe and effective methodology to deliver stem cells to critical, but distant blood vessels within the brain that are central to the natural repair process. The procedure makes use of stem cells derived from bone marrow which is administered intravenously to test subjects suffering from Stroke.

    Results from the Study

    The initial results of the study have largely been promising. Though the group of patients that benefited from the clinical trial was not at the right size to provide conclusive proof of the treatment’s effectiveness. The researchers are still highly optimistic about the treatment they are developing. They believe that the unique healing capability of Stem Cells can greatly complement conventional treatments to achieve better results in Stroke Patients.

    The initial study was conducted on 129 patients who received stem cells extracted from healthy donors within a time frame of 72 hours after the occurrence of each Stroke. The study indicated that the patients who were given stem cells within 36 hours were seen to have experienced a significant benefit in lowering the level of disability experienced by patients at three months recovery from the Stroke.

    In the event that larger studies are conducted and show similar results, Yavaga is confident that Thrombectomy coupled with stem cells will make Stroke completely repairable in the near future.

    Stem Cell Therapy is rapidly being integrated to various treatment regimens targeting a wide variety of diseases. With Unique Access Medical, Stem Cell Therapy is administered alongside biological, integrative, and holistic treatments. Our procedures make use of leading-edge medical science coupled with established conventional medicine as well as alternative therapies.

  • Stroke Patient Recovers Completely Despite Doctors’ Prognosis
    Nov

    2017

    No one wants to hear that they aren’t going to recover from a grave illness. This was exactly what Rita Guthrie, a former laboratory chemist from Essex had to go through. Rita was given a mere 30% chance of survival after experiencing a Stroke in 2008. Rita could not walk, her behaviour slowly became erratic, and incontinence had set in.

    Doctors from the National Health Services told Rita and her husband David, there was zero possibility of recovery for Rita and that she should consider moving to a nursing home. Following two years of intermittent medical care received from the NHS, as well as social services, Rita’s condition remained unaltered.

    Things began to take a turn for the better when a friend recommended that the couple should try out a change in climate. David and Rita moved to a quaint locality named Fish Hoek in Cape Town, South Africa. In her new home, she underwent an intensive Rehabilitative regimen which included Hydrotherapy, walking, and a customised exercise routine. This went on for a period of 18 months.

    Today, at a ripe 78 years of age, Rita is a mother of three children and has been given a clean bill of health. Her ordeal with stroke had only left her with minor damage to her short-term memory.

    Rita has kept herself busy following her recovery. She authored a book entitled “Pushing the Boundaries”. Her goal is to give hope to Britons who are going through what she had experienced. In her book, she recommends her readers to pursue treatments outside Britain. According to Rita, the absence of practical help and support from the UK was the reason why she was diagnosed without any hope of recovery. Her book’s profits are all donated to charity organisations that are helping Stroke patients.

    David also expressed his dismay regarding the local healthcare his wife received in the UK. He couldn’t help but compare the quality of care received with well-documented recommendations found in the UK’s National Stroke Strategy.

    The disappointing level of treatment experienced by Rita in the UK was apparently, not an isolated incident. A survey conducted by the Stroke Association indicated that almost half of all stroke survivors felt abandoned as they left hospital care. The survey also found that a third of their 1000 respondents were sent home without a definite care plan or appropriate support. Figures that the organisation describes as ‘deeply concerning’.

    Due to these realities, more patients of severe illnesses such as Stroke, have started to seek treatments outside of their countries’ established healthcare systems.

    Unique Access Medical is a provides access to top tier medical care for a wide variety of ailments. Patients receive cutting-edge procedures administered by experienced medical experts supported by highly trained staff in world-class facilities. Treatments are personalised according to the needs of each patient. We provide a variety of treatments including Stem Cell Therapy, Physiotherapy, and Occupational Therapy.

    Scientific studies have shown that people disabled by a Stroke exhibited substantial recovery long after the occurrence when modified adult stem cells were injected into their brains. Injecting modified and adult stem cells directly into the brains of chronic Stroke patients has proven to be not only safe but effective in restoring motor function.

    The patients who were mobilised, all of whom had suffered their first and only Stroke between half a year and three years prior to receiving the injections remained conscious. This happened under mild anaesthesia in the course of the entire procedure, which consisted of drilling a small hole through their skulls and they were discharged several hours later.

    Despite the fact that 75 percent of them suffered from transient headaches following the procedure there were no side effects that could be linked to the stem cells or otherwise life-threatening negative side effects linked to the procedure used to administer them. The headaches were possibly as a result of the surgical procedure and the physical constraints utilized to ensure its accuracy.

    Promising Results

    The promising results have created a platform for an expanded trial of the procedure that is underway as it is. They also deem creative and innovative thinking regarding the permanence of brain damage necessary as mentioned by Gary Steinberg, who has many years’ worth of experience in working with stem cell therapies for neurological indications.

    These were clinically relevant results although it was just a single trial that was small as per reports, involving a trial of 18 patients. The trial was formulated with the aim of testing the safety of the procedure. However, patients improved by a number of standard measures, and this enhancement was not only statistically important but also clinically meaningful. The patient’s ability to move around was clearly evident in spite the fact that six months out from a Stroke, one cannot anticipate any further recovery of the patents from the condition.

    Stroke Statistics

    About 85 percent of all Strokes occur when a blood clot forms in a blood vessel supplying blood to part of the brain with subsequent intensive damage to the affected region. The distinct loss of function incurred depends on the specific point where within the brain the Stroke occurs and its extent.

     

    Stroke Fact Sheet | Global Stem Cells
    What is Stroke ? Stroke is a disease that affects the arteries leading to and within the brain.

     

    Although approved and recommended therapies for Stroke exist, in an effort to be effective they must be administered within a short while of occurrence a time frame that often is exceeded by the amount of time it takes for a Stroke patient to get medical help from a treatment centre.

    As a result of this, only a small percentage of patients benefit from treatment during the acute phase of the Stroke. Most of the survivors end up with enduring disabilities with some lost functionality returning however limited.

    More importantly, the post-operative improvement of Stroke patients was independent of their age or the severity of the condition at the onset of the trial. This could revolutionise the concept of what takes place after not only Stroke but also traumatic brain injury and even neurodegenerative disorders.

    A Stroke occurs when the flow of oxygen-rich blood to a portion of the brain is blocked. Without oxygen, brain cells start to die after a few minutes. Sudden bleeding in the brain also can cause a Stroke if it damages brain cells. Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability and the leading preventable cause of disability.

    Different Types of Stroke

    Strokes are categorised into two major categories: Ischemic and Hemorrhagic. Ischemic Strokes are caused by interruption of blood supply, while Hemorrhagic Stroke s are the ones which result from rupture of a blood vessel or an abnormal vascular structure.

    Stroke Fact Sheet | Global Stem Cells
    What is Stroke ? Stroke is a disease that affects the arteries leading to and within the brain.

     

    If brain cells die or are damaged because of a Stroke, symptoms occur in the parts of the body that these brain cells control. Examples of Stroke symptoms include paralysis or numbness, sudden weakness and paralysis. Some people may even develop eye problems and slurry or distorted speech.

    Stem Cell Treatment for Stroke

    Stem cells  have the capability to self-renew meaning that they can reproduce themselves many times over. Stem cells are found in the bone marrow,  the lungs, the brain among other organs in the body. These cells are our repair kits as they regenerate cells damaged by disease and injury.

    It has always been believed that if a Stroke causes damage to the brain, that damage was irreversible. With technological breakthrough, the re-growth of brain cells is now possible and is offering new hope to Stroke victims.

    The patient’s own Stem Cells are harvested, activated and put back in the body. These pluripotent Stem Cells then differentiate and migrate to the brain and begin to re-grow as brain cells.

    In the clinical trial carried out at the Department of Neurology at the Medical College of Georgia the treatment using Stem Cells did not cause any strong immune reactions in recipients, even those who were unrelated to the donor cells.

    The patients in the test showed remarkable improvement in their motor functions, and in the other symptoms associated with a sustained Stroke.

    The researchers reported that the treatment may not significantly improve the recovery of patients within the first three months. It does however provide evidence that giving the therapy early within the first 36 hours after Stroke symptoms occur may enhance physical recovery. This treatment reduces the high risk of infections and these benefits continue to benefit the patient months down the line after its administration.

    Adult Stem Cells are scalable and require no tissue typing make it a potentially widely and rapidly available therapy for Stroke patients. These cells are harvested, isolated treated and banked, ensuring that they are available when needed. One donor of these cells may provide hundreds of thousands of doses to patients.

    Stem Cell Research has come a long way, and in future it is likely that Stem Cell Therapy in the treatment of Stroke patients will be used in addition to other proven treatments once they have been approved for general use in medicine.

    When Samia suffered a stroke, her life changed dramatically. For someone who was once vibrant and energetic, it was difficult for her to have her daughters take care of her. The stroke symptoms had left her with movement and balance problems, she was always fatigued and she felt depressed at the loss of independence in her life. She underwent a lot of occupational and physical therapy over the past sx years, but her lack of progress prompted her daughters to research a more well-rounded approach, which led them to our website and our stem cells and rehabilitation facilities in Bangkok.

    After Samia’s stem cell treatment, she commenced her physical therapy and immediately saw some results in doing routine activities, which was very pleasing for her, her daughters and the hospital staff. Samia commented on how happy she was with the staff’s dedication. Although her daughters are fluent in English, Samia mostly speaks Arabic, so it was very comforting to her that a lot of the staff were able to communicate with her in her native tongue. And it didn’t end there. From the facilities and the entire clinical staff, the family felt right at home at the hospital, which helped the patient feel at ease and a lot more confident about her treatment.

    There have been some great physical improvements during her time here. She has an increased ability to walk, the capability of dressing herself and there’s the fact that her face barely shows the typical signs of a stroke. But more than that she’s had a renewed sense of life. Not long ago, Samia was inactive, slept a lot and the fatigue brought on by the stroke had her taking naps as well. At the clinic, her daughters noticed how much more independent and energetic she had become. They told us,

    She wakes up at 6 o’clock in the morning, before us. She’s like ‘let’s drink tea, let’s have coffee’. She’s very happy.”

    For something as serious as a stroke, worldwide medical solutions seem lacking. Many people find this out in the most trying time when, out of nowhere, a stroke completely changes someone’s life. Nicola, one of our latest patients, felt the same frustration when she suffered from one and, as she tried to research ways to alleviate her symptoms, was left looking for better answers.

    When she and her supportive husband decided that the traditional therapies weren’t doing enough to defy the root cause of her disease, they took to the internet and found us. They immediately felt better knowing there was a window of opportunity still open to them that might help Nicola regain much of what she had lost after her infarction. They felt confident in their decision and, after discussing her case with our doctors, planned their trip to come and see us. The Global Stem Cells team welcomed them to Bangkok and brought her to the hospital where she began her stem cell treatment. Since stem cells have had many documented successes in fighting stroke symptoms in the past few years, they were optimistic about what our experts could do to help them.

    As they went through the motions of analysing Nicola’s physical problems, she began undergoing stem cell treatments alongside physical therapy and a regimen of immune-boosting protocols that helped her body and mind bounce back from the trauma. Within days, Nicola’s energy had returned and her specialists observed an impressive improvement against an ailment that she was told could only be managed and not helped in any way. According to her lead physician, Dr. Nasir, she experienced improvements in many areas including range of motion, motor function and a reduction in spasticity.

    As she sat with her husband to talk to us about her progress, we were thrilled to see her in good spirits, talking about the wonderful progress she had made since they decided to stay with us. From pain relief to discussing how the staff truly helped her and made her feel like she was at home, our patient had nothing but wonderful things to say about her treatment with us.

    Watch Nicola’s video here for her full story on her journey with us.

    Unique Access Medical takes pride in being a top-notch provider of Stem Cell therapies for Stroke patients, delivering results that are consistent with being a leader in the field of regenerative medicine. It is therefore that our team was delighted to read the news on the latest studies conducted by Stanford University.

    It has come to our attention that earlier this month Stanford University has successfully treated a group of Stroke patients and the improvements have been amazing. According to an article published by the College’s News Centre, 18 patients received adult stem cells in the affected areas of the brain, and the recovery they experienced was substantial.

    During the investigation, which was carried by researchers from the Stanford University School of Medicine, the entire treatment was proven to be perfectly safe and surprisingly effective in restoring motor function in patients suffering from Stroke. Not only that, but the treatment lacked any serious side effects; nothing but mild nausea or short-lasting headaches.

    The research had started with the goal of studying the safety of such a procedure. However, once the effectiveness of Stem Cells became evident and the recovery their patients had was visible, the doctors couldn’t help but admire the stunning improvements and the entire neuroscience community is still in awe due to previous core belief that brain damage was irreversible and permanent. Needless to say, this thinking has been contradicted with irrefutable evidence.

    Dr. Gary Steinberg, who is Bernard and Ronni Lacroute-William Randolph Hearst Professor in Neurosurgery and Neurosiences, was the man in charge of the investigation and it was he who personally performed the surgeries. When asked about the treatment, he said:

    Their recovery was not just a minimal recovery like someone who couldn’t move a thumb now being able to wiggle it. It was much more meaningful. One 71-year-old wheelchair-bound patient was walking again. This wasn’t just, ‘They couldn’t move their thumb, and now the can.’ Patients who were in wheelchairs are walking now”.

    At our partner hospital, stroke patients have experienced quite similar to those treated by the medical teams at Universities such as Stanford. The results delivered by Unique Access Medical’s Stem Cell Treatments have been exceptional to say the least, and our treatments are always been delivered with the highest standard of safety and professionalism.

    Improvements in speech, vision, motor ability and other aspects of your daily life are perfectly achievable by anyone suffering from a Stroke who is willing to take the step of coming to Bangkok and undergoing one of our incomparable treatments.

    If any of our readers would like to know more about our Stem Cell treatments for Stroke patients, we kindly invite you to contact us directly and one of our patient representatives will get back to you as soon as possible,
