Stem
cell procedure is apparently the next best thing in medical science.
It’s easy, it’s safe and most importantly, there’s no need to endure the
ordeal of going through nicks and tucks. The list of medical conditions
that the regenerative therapy can prevent and treat, though not
extensive, is quite admirable because these are some of the most
frustrating conditions known to man. Of course, to experience the
benefits of this therapy you need to be a qualified patient. A qualified
patient would be one whose body does not reject the stem cell taken
from the donor. However, risk of rejection has been brought down as
clinics now also infuse stem cells of the patient itself to avoid
complications.
Stem cell to the rescue of damaged hearts?
The
area of stem cell research is limited but promising with regular tests
being conducted for improved results. One of the several researches
being conducted was the effect of stem cell procedure on people
suffering from heart ailments. During this continuous and long study it
was found that cardiac stem cell therapy
could regenerate damaged heart tissue to offer patients a new leash of
life. New evidence supported by a clinical trial by Cedars-Sinai Heart
Institute showed that stem cells can repair heart tissue damaged by
heart attack. In the trial, healthy tissues from the patient’s heart
were taken, multiplied into numerous stem cells in a lab and infused
into the damaged area. The results were pretty encouraging.
PRP and its benefits
PRP
or platelet rich plasma is platelet filled blood plasma in out body
that can have healing effects on various injuries. Clinical studies have
shown that Platelet rich plasma injections can
eliminate pain and treat bone and soft-tissue problems. In this
procedure, blood from a patient is extracted, PRP concentrate obtained
from it and centrifuged before being injected into the damaged heart.
