Embryonic Stem Cells Injury Helps in Muscle Function Restoration

According to a recent study conducted by the researchers at the Dalhousie Medical School in Nova Scotia, individuals who have suffered from a traumatic brain injury and have developed motor neuron conditions and nerve damage may restore strength due to the embryonic stem cell implementation.

Scientists from this medical school determined that doctors could use these embryonic stem cells grown in the laboratory and transplant them to the damaged neurons. According to the researchers heading the project, it “opens the door for a variety of different treatments.”

Identifying TBI

Traumatic brain injury can occur to many individuals in different ways. Thus, it becomes important to identify all the signs and symptoms associated with traumatic Brain Injury. According to the Mayo Clinic, following are the common side effects of traumatic brain injury:

• memory inabilities
• repeated nausea or vomiting
• inability to awaken from sleeps
• slurred speech
• profound confusion
• combativeness
• restlessness
• altered performance at school or work

• numbness in extremities

• headache, persistent headache
• amnesia
• dizziness
• sensory problems
• ringing in the ears
• bad taste
• concentration problems
• convulsions or seizures
• dilation of one or both the pupils of eyes
• weakness in extremities
• loss of coordination
• agitation
• refusal to eat
• altered sleep patterns

Managing a Traumatic Brain Injury

As more and more Americans are at an increased risk of developing a traumatic brain injury, especially the veterans returning from the war in Iraq, it is imperative that they seek proper support and treatment. However, traumatic brain injury therapy and treatment are highly expensive and many Americans who have poor health insurance or are uninsured at times fail to afford this treatment for their condition.

If a situation like this occurs then it becomes imperative for a traumatic brain injury victim to seek the advice of an experienced traumatic brain injury lawyer who will assist you in filing a lawsuit. He will help you in developing a litigation that may offer monetary compensation to help a TBI victim in funding costly medical bills and TBI treatment.
