Immunotherapy has shown success rates of up to 90-100% for diversity of diseases with 60-70% success rates in Paralyzed animals, veterinary surgeon Jim Burke told Anadolu Agency (AA) on Wednesday.
Treatment that enables regeneration of Diseased or damaged tissues and organs, provide quick recovery for Healthy animals problems Such as paralysis, multi-organ failure, wounds, burns and fractures.
with the development of technology and medical science in In recent years, stem cells, which can be taken from bone marrow or adipose tissue (body fat) and used in treatment of Many types of diseases play therapeutic role for Many diseases that are difficult to treat treat in Cats, dogs, horses as well as humans.
Stem cell therapy may be preferred for treatment of various Diseases of the eyes, joints, liver, kidneys, heart, skin, and intestinal infections in animals, as well in non-healing wounds, burns, fractures and osteoporosis, muscle And tendon damage, paralysis caused by damage to the spinal cord and peripheral nerves, and loss of Sensation, acute and chronic periodontal disorders, multiple organ failure, infectious dry peritonitis in Cats, neurological dysfunction in dog.
The treatment was applied to 1.5-year-An old cat
Burke said it was using Treatment since 2020 has been helping many cats and dogs regain their health.
Vet also Applied stem cell therapy on 1.5-year old cat was found abandoned on the street and diagnosed with postTraumatic nervous system impairment.
Burke told AA that he injected stem cells that were brought in with Cold chain to the cat under local anesthesia.
treatment vet said, successfully applied in many cases over the past Nodes, among modern treatments options in Veterinary medicine.
Stem cells, which provide rapid repair of disease and injury, are yielding successful results results especially in local applications in the form of Injections speed up healing featureNotice Burke. he said that also Creates an effective treatment option in Cases of bones, nerves, eye diseases and paralysis.
the aim of treatment for One million level stem cells are injected into the app area to settle in tissues and transform into original Cells After a while, Burke notes while listing the advantages of treatment.
For example, calcification (osteoporosis), ie in Orthopedic cases, maybe cause Pain and lameness in the animals. We can see it often in Aging cats and dogs. When we inject them into a joint, these cells multiply, develop, and transform into original cartilage tissue cells after a while. They fix it as soon like possible And we achieve excellent results with Quick recovery in joints and relaxation of movements and increase in common questioner.
“In traditional methods, procedures such as injections of cortisone or hyaluronic acid are performed into the joint, and these procedures should repeated. However, when stem cells are injected, they are transformed directly inside the original tissue cells in that area,” He said.
“with new cartilage tissue, new Joint fluid increase, osteoarthritis is almost completely resolved. Healing can be achieved with every preventive dose year”, He said.
How are stem cells applied? in the animals?
Vet also He said that stem cell therapy is being applied to cats, dogs and horses around the world and that the treatment can be applied topically with a small Needle for soft tissues inside the eyelids in cases of Multiple organs, liver, kidney failure, intravenous, corneal diseases and ulcers.
explain it in Strokes and neurological imbalances, when it is injected near area Where the nerve lies, it promotes nerve regeneration after a while. Burke highlighted the applications of stem cells made with At least of Two injections two to three weeks apart, three injections for paralysis.
Burke explained that in Türkiye, stem cell application for were animals developed by foundation in 2017, after which it was introduced to the veterinary service.
Stem cells are usually obtained from bone marrow, cord blood, and adipose tissue, and sometimes from the placenta and amniotic fluid. He further said, “For example, if we are going to undergo stem cell therapy on a doga sample of Adipose tissue taken from another dog transformed to special injection solution in lab. First, it’s broken down and kept in Protective solutions. Then it is placed in Liquid nitrogen tanks at minus 178 degrees Celsius.”
The doctor holds out Perform the treatment by injecting this into the relevant area Under sterile conditions, without need for general Anesthesia accompanied by mild sedation or local anesthesia. Intravenous applications are made by injecting it into a vein in leg after catheter placement.
‘Main results He appears in second app’
Burke noticed that after first to request in treatment period of At least two to three weeks required for cells for progressmultiply, multiply, saying big results They appear when stem cells turn into original cells after second to request.
There have been cases supporting the development of new nervous cells in around six Weeks, Burke said, noting that when stem cells are injected directly inside the area in Non-healing fractures, bone cells rapidly multiply and multiply, producing the perfect condition result.
Vet also He said, “We’re investigating success rate of 60-70% in treatment of Paralyzed animals. There are approximately 90-100% improvements in related problems that we call Osteoporosis.
“Class of Nerve damage in paralysis also very important. nerve recovery very important. It’s tough. There are cats and dogs who remain paralyzed for life, just like Humans. Through MRI, we determine the target where we will inject these cells, and after that perform application.”
Stem cells can also Be the source of healing for infected animals in natural disasters.
Noting that many animals were injured in Twin earthquakes were centered February 6th in In Turkey’s southern province of Kahramanmaraş, Berk said stem cell therapy could be applied to those animals as well.
he added that in Treating some diseases, together with This method is physiotherapy also It was successful.
