Department of Community Medicine, GSVM Medical College, Kanpur, IND.
Background: Cerebral palsy (CP), traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI), and muscular dystrophy (MD), among the various other neurological disorders, are major global health problems because they are chronic disorders with no curative treatments at present. Current interventions aim to relieve symptoms alone and therefore emphasize the necessity for new approaches.
Objective: This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cell (BM-MNC) therapy in patients with CP, traumatic SCI, and MD.
Screening for Deep Vein Thrombosis Using D-dimer Levels Based on Surgical Patients' Characteristics.

Surgical Gastroenterology, Kumamoto University, Kumamoto, JPN.
Purpose Owing to the shortage of surgeons and the decrease in medical staff in regional medical care, reducing unnecessary tests can limit the burden on the staff. In this study, we aimed to examine the predictors of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), such as D-dimer levels in patients who underwent surgery at our hospital, and determine the feasibility of screening in these patients. Knowledge of D-dimer levels can indicate the risk of DVT in patients about to undergo surgery.
