Bone Marrow Transplant Procedure A bone marrow transplant depends on the following conditions such as a patient's ability to tolerate certain medications, the type of transplant and the disease that requires a transplant. The procedure  includes the following - The preparation of a  bone marrow transplant  involves high doses of radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy. This is required for treating a specific disease and also to create a sufficient room in the bone marrow for the new cells to develop. Myeloablative or ablative is the name given to this therapy due to its effect on the bone marrow. Majority of blood cells in the body are produced by the bone marrow.

The new stem cells require an empty marrow so that they can grow and simultaneously establish themselves as new blood cell production system. The marrow  transplant  is given from the central venous cat...

Orthopedic Stem Cell Treatment India Stem Cells are identical biological cells, which can make different specialized cells and can split to create more Stem Cells. They are easily found in multi-cellular organisms. In full grown organisms, Stem Cells work to mend the body system, restocking adult tissues. Adult Stem Cells are normally used in medical therapies, for example in bone marrow transplantation. Stem Cells can now be artificially grown and changed into specific cell kind with features dependable on cells of various tissues such as muscles or nerves. Orthopedic  Stem Cells Treatment  Procedure in India In order to regenerate the function and better the quality of life, cell therapies are used in a variety of medical spheres. There are cell therapies that are life-saving. Orthopedic stem cell therapy is primarily for bone grafting of skeletal flaws, managing delayed unions and non-unions, acquiring spinal arthrodesis, treating osteonecrosis and tissue engin...

Multiple Myeloma Treatment in India About Multiple Myeloma Multiple myeloma is the second most common type of blood  cancer . Also known as Myeloma, it starts in the plasma cells of the bone marrow. Plasma cells are short lived antibody (protein) producing cells, derived from a type of white blood cell (B-Lymphocyte). They make different forms of proteins (antibody) that helps fight infection. Malignant transformation of plasma cells results in defective and abnormal single protein formation called monoclonal or M protein. When plasma cells become cancerous and grow out of control, they produce a tumor called plasmacytoma. If someone has only a single plasma cell tumor, the disease is called solitary plasmacytoma or if someone has more than one plasmacytoma, it is called multiple myeloma. Risk Factors: There is no exact cause known for the disease. However there are few risk factors associated with increased risk of multiple myeloma, these include: Age factor: More common ...

Corneal Transplant What Is  Corneal Transplant? Cornea transplant (corneal grafting) is the process by which a diseased cornea of the patient is replaced by the donated cornea graft or tissue. The surgery can be done in total with penetrating keratoplasty and also in part with lamellar keratoplasty. In this procedure, a clear healthy corneal is placed by removing the diseased opaque cornea in order to restore the lost sight by permitting the light rays to enter with the help of the clear transplanted cornea. What is the Cornea? An external clear covering of the eye which contains the colored pupil and the iris is termed as Cornea. If there is any damage to the cornea, then it can become swollen and can affect the smoothness and its clarity. Cornea is a very powerful refracting surface which is around 2/3rd part of the eye. It is a very essential part of the eye and is required for clear vision. It becomes a clear window to look through and its clarity is necessary for good ...
