There is currently no cure for cerebral palsy and no standard therapy that works for all patients. Many of the brain damage-related incidents that cause cerebral palsy occur during pregnancy, making prevention difficult. This has lead many researchers to believe regenerative stem cell therapies provide an option to regenerate nerve tissue and repair damage to the brain.Cerebral palsy, which affects about 500,000 people in the United States alone, is defined as brain damage that occurs before or during birth. The number of people with the disorder has increased over the last 30 years as more premature babies survive. Its effects are variable, from barely detectable to devastating loss of motor control. The causes are diverse as well, including everything from oxygen deprivation during birth to prenatal infections.Significant treatment results are obtained from using umbilical cord stem cells without significant Graft versus Host complications. (Handgretinger, 2001).In-vitro studies have shown cord blood stem cells are able to differentiate into neural cell types. In animal models, research has demonstrated convincing evidence that cord blood stem cells injected...more

From the 1920s to the 1970s, asbestos siding was commonly used in the building industry. One can still find it in many of the older buildings and homes. It was normally added to the cement and pressed into siding shingles.The product was used for its fire-retardant properties and to make the siding shingles stronger and more durable. It also acted as a good insulator. It had a fairly low manufacturing cost.It did not rot or decompose and it was resistant to termites. The maintenance costs were low because it was so easy to clean and paint would adhere to it very easily. It was also available in different profiles, sizes and textures. This product was also used in building materials other than siding. Asbestos was used in flooring tiles and drywall as well. There was however one problem with asbestos that took quite a few decades to surface.It took decades to find out that the fibers that were being placed in siding shingles might cause cancer. This normally occurred if it was in the air and being inhaled. The exposure of this problem caused fear and that was the reason the use of it was stopped. But, as it had been used for so many years, one can still find it on many of the...more
