Autologous bone marrow mesenchymal cells that include stem (MSCs) are a clinically attractive cellular therapy option to try treat severe spinal cord injury (SCI).To study the possible value of MSCs injected intrathecally enhance rehabilitation.This case control, convenience sample included 64 patients, at mean 3.6 years after SCI. Forty-four subjects received monthly intrathecal autologous for 6 months and 20 subjects, who would not agree procedures, served as controls. All rehabilitation...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can enhance brain plasticity after stroke. At low frequencies, rTMS has an inhibitory effect, whereas at high it excitatory effect. Combining both frequencies in bilateral is a new protocol under investigation, especially the subacute stage.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the role of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in evaluation diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) compared to clinical scores and nerve conduction studies (NCS). Patients methods We included 30 patients with diabetes mellitus complaining symptoms 15 healthy volunteers. All subjects underwent using 1.5-T DTI median nerves NCS. Neuropathy Deficit Score (NDS), Impairment Lower Limbs (NIS-LL), Diabetic Examination (DNE) score. Results found statistically significant...

To study the efficacy of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in diagnosis carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Twenty-three wrists healthy subjects (age between 29 and 71 with mean 44 years) 47 CTS patients 19 84 46 were evaluated DTI electrophysiological studies (EPS). The was performed on a 1.5T scanner. Fraction anisotropy (FA) apparent coefficient (ADC) median nerve calculated. Electrophysiological tests also performed. Paired student's t-test, ANOVA, Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon, Post Hoc,...

Conventional motor nerve conduction studies are usually normal in early and mild carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Single-fiber electromyography (SFEMG) measures the mean consecutive difference (MCD) as an expression of variability impulse transmission over endplates along fibers distally to last branching point muscle fibers.Application concentric needle SFEMG a group CTS patients who showed pure sensory abnormalities examine for subclinical involvement.Thirty having only involvement proved...
