Human studies of the efficacy and safety of stem cells in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Stem Cell Res Ther
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- - A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of stem cell therapy for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) through a detailed literature review of clinical trials, which included seven relevant studies.
- - Stem cell treatments primarily involved bone marrow and umbilical cord-derived cells, leading to significant improvements in nerve conduction speeds and reductions in various clinical scoring metrics, along with minor side effects like pain and swelling at injection sites.
- - The findings indicate that stem cell therapy holds promise for enhancing DPN treatment outcomes, but further research is needed to refine therapy methods and verify results.
Background: Success of assisted reproductive techniques depends on multiple factors including maternal endocrine status, hormonal balance, and paternal sperm quality. A comprehensive pre-treatment evaluation allows better prediction of outcomes and avoidance of unnecessary procedures and expenses.
Methods: To examine the impact of female hormonal profiles and sperm DNA damage on the success of assisted reproduction, medical data were extracted from the clinical records of infertile couples including couples' age and levels of maternal anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and prolactin (PRL), as well as the DNA fragmentation index (DFI) in men.
Article Synopsis
- The world is nearing the critical threshold of 1.5°C warming, with 2023 recording an average temperature rise of 1.45°C since pre-industrial times, leading to severe climate-related impacts.
- The Countdown collaboration, formed to assess the health impacts of climate change post-Paris Agreement, involves over 300 experts analyzing data and trends annually.
- The 2024 report highlights troubling increases in climate-related health risks, such as a staggering 167% rise in heat-related deaths among seniors, indicating worsening conditions affecting wellbeing globally.
The escalating challenges posed by seafood waste generated by the fishing and aquaculture industries underscore the urgent need for innovative solutions that promote both environmental conservation and economic viability within the seafood sector. Seafood waste biorefinery emerges as a promising solution, offering the potential to transform waste materials into valuable products. However, it is essential to recognize that seafood waste biorefinery operations also entail environmental impacts that warrant careful consideration.
