Stem Cells: The Masters of Healing Potential
Research on the field of regenerative medicine expands every day. Probably one of the most well-known subjects in this field that of stem cells. Stem cell research has grabbed a lot of attention recently because of huge it’s healing potential. Furthermore, there has been much controversy behind embryonic stem cells. To better understand a stem […]
Platelets: The Mechanisms of Healing
Our body has an abundance of healing pathways for self-repair. Many of these self-repair mechanisms can be clinically manipulated for the creation of new therapies, making use of the body’s own self-healing potential. Platelets, normally found circulating in our blood, bear many of these self-healing mechanisms to clinically manipulate and trigger tissue repair. Prolotherapy, for […]
Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) treats a variety of medical conditions ranging from bacterial infections to arterial air embolisms. The use of hyperbaric oxygen has had increasing positive outcomes in clinical practice. Physicians are becoming continually more aware of its therapeutic mechanisms. HBOT also prolongs safe anesthesia and circulatory arrest during surgery (Gill, 2004). Hospitals typically […]
