Growth promoting substance in human mesenchymal stem cells spurs restoration of nerves Published on May 21, 2012 at 10:24 AM A substance in human mesenchymal stem cells that promotes growth appears to spur restoration of nerves and their function in rodent models of multiple sclerosis (MS), researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have found.
Overview Management of voiding dysfunction in neurologic disorders can substantially improve the quality of life as well as the health of patients. A systematic review of the pattern of voiding dysfunction leads to an understanding of the underlying mechanism, which, in turn, allows the treating physician to develop a strategy for managing it. Neurourology, although a relatively new field of study, has revolutionized the management of a vexing problem that affects millions of patients.

Autonomic Dysreflexia, also known as Hyperreflexia, is a potentially life threatening condition which can be considered a medical emergency requiring immediate attention. It occurs where the blood pressure in a person with a spinal cord injury (SCI) above T5-6 becomes excessively high due to the over activity of the Autonomic Nervous System
Medications Nerve pain is hard to treat. Treatment usually helps but often does not relieve all of your pain

Patients with these conditions often face many challenges in their everyday lives and can become preoccupied with constant trips to the bathroom, fear of leaking episodes and sleepless nights.
Background: Macular star results from deposits of hard exsudate in Henle’s fiber layer radiating out in a starlike pattern in patients with infectious optic neuritis or neuroretinitis.
Optic neuritis is defined as inflammation of the optic nerve.
Background and Objective: Our objective was to characterize the clinical and radiologic features of Korean pediatric patients with relapsing central nervous system (CNS) demyelination disease.
