Diagnosis of paraplegia

Paraplegia is a disease, which is of great harm to patients. Then, under which condition that patients will be diagnosed with paraplegia?

1. Serious trauma history

2. According to patients’ symptoms, if patients have symptoms including weakness in walking, uncoordinated movement or unable to walk.

3. Spinal process depression of patients’ vertebral canal and there exists pain by pressing with hands or knocking.

4. The disease can be diagnosed according to the medical history, symptoms, physical sign and x-ray result of patients. Traumatic paraplegia shall be identified from the paraplegia caused by tuberculosis of vertebral bodies and tumor. And this can be identified through X-ray film and other examinations.

Examinations for paraplegia

For further diagnosis of paraplegia, some examinations are required. Necessary and selective laboratory examinations include:

1. Blood routine examination

2. Blood electrolytes

3. Blood sugar

4. Urea nitrogen

Selective auxiliary examinations include:

Stem cell anti-aging

Why do we age  and how we can stop it Aging is a complex process in which stem cells and fibroblasts are progressively damaged by stress, nutrition, and lifestyle, until they finally die.  Eventually, your body loses its ability to heal properly and some chronic problems may occur, especially with the kidney, liver, and digestive tract.  These problems can affect not only your energy, vitality, sex drive, and sleep quality, but also the apparent health of the skin on your face, neck, chest, and hands. Declining functionality of the fibroblasts can also lead to poor collagen level, wrinkles, and saggy dry skin.  - By the age of 35, your cell production rate drops by 45 percent. - At 50, your cell production rate is cut in half. - By the time you've reached 65, cell production rate is down by a whopping 90 percent. How to treat the core causes of aging One of the most common ways to get rid of visibly aging skin is plastic surgery. H...

Lack of stem cells may be the key to recurrent miscarriage

图片
A new study suggests that the lack of stem cells in the uterine wall may lead to recurrent miscarriage. "We have found that there are certain defects in the uterine wall of patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion," said Jan Brosens, leader of the research team, who is a professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at Warwick University. “It is conceivable that we can achieve the desire to become pregnant by correcting these defects in patients. In fact, this may be the only way to prevent miscarriage in this situation,” Brosens said at a university press conference. 15% to 25% of pregnancies will end in miscarriage. Repeated abortion occurs in 1 of 100 mothers. Among them, the researchers point out that recurrent abortion means that three or more consecutive pregnancy ends in abortion. At the same time, scientists say stem cells have the potential to differentiate into many different types of cells. In the study, the team analyzed endometrial samples f...
