Background: Cellular transplantation is a promising treatment strategy for neurological diseases.
Objective: To report the results of intrathecal hematopoietic stem cell therapy in different neurological diseases in the past 6 years in a single center.
Methods: From October 2011 to September 2018, 220 patients with various neurological diseases were transplanted intrathecally by their bone marrow stem cells.
Background: Epilepsy surgery has been proved to be feasible and cost-effective in developing countries. In the current paper, we discussed the outcome of patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) and medically-refractory seizures who had surgery at our center in Shiraz, Iran.
Methods: Patients aged 18 years and older with refractory MTLE and mesial temporal sclerosis operated at Namazee Hospital, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran from May 2009 through December 2011 were enrolled.
Background Of about 40 million people with epilepsy, who live in developing countries, the majority do not receive appropriate treatment. Nonetheless, there are striking disparities among the so-called developing countries, however generally speaking, access to and availability of epilepsy management programs in developing countries are very limited and therefore, the issue of developing epilepsy centers in resource-limited settings in a large scale is very essential. The surgery for epilepsy, including temporal lobotomy, lesionectomy and corpus colostomy, for patients with medically-refractory seizures, defined as failure of adequate trials of two tolerated, appropriately chosen and using antiepileptic drug to achieve sustained freedom, from seizure has been proved to be feasible and cost-effective in developing countries.
