Study Design: Descriptive study.
Objectives: The National Spinal Cord/Column Injury Registry of Iran (NSCIR-IR) is a registry system to survey Traumatic Spinal Column/Spinal Cord Injuries (TSC/SCIs) patients and obtain the required data for quality-of-care assessment.
Setting: Iran.
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most common form of diabetic neuropathy, representing 75% of cases and posing a substantial public health challenge. Emerging evidence from animal studies indicates that stem cell therapy holds significant promise as a potential treatment for diabetic neuropathy. Nevertheless, a comprehensive evaluation of the safety and efficacy of stem cell therapy for DPN in animal studies remains outstanding.

Objective: To assess the 30- and 90-day readmission rates after a traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI).
Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE and Embase was performed.
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.
Study Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis OBJECTIVE: To determine the global frequency of osteomyelitis in individuals with spinal cord injury who have pressure injuries (SCI-PI).
Methods: A comprehensive search on PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and the Web of Science has been conducted until November 2023. The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews was followed.
