Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is described as a situation in which the brain is damaged by an external force. It is considered to be a chief problem in health care. Pharmacotherapy and stem cell therapy are the main treatments used in TBI. The purpose of these procedures is to control the inflammation in injured regions of brain. Currently, there is no effective care for TBI that could regenerat...

introduction: various neuroregenerative procedures have been recently employed along with neurorehabilitation programs to promote neurological function after spinal cord injury (sci), and recently most of them have focused on the acute stage of spinal cord injury. in this report, we present a case of acute sci treated with neuroprotective treatments in conjunction with conventional rehabilitati...

The effects of human recombinant granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and human native purified granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) on the growth of clonogenic leukemic blast cells from eight Japanese patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia were studied, using an in vitro leukemic blast colony assay. The results showed that GM-CSF stimulated leukemic blast colon...

STUDY DESIGN An observational study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Shafi Clinic, Rawalpindi, from July 2005 to July 2007. METHODOLOGY Patients with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) pos...

Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a growth factor used for stem-cell mobilization and neutropenia treatment. We report that splenomegaly was detected in a 16-years-old patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia following the administration of G-CSF. The presence of splenomegaly in the patients receiving G-CSF may be related to the use of G-CSF.
