Coma typically is a sign of minimal mental activity due to the failure of the brain to function properly. Their body can still exercise involuntary actions like breathing, digestion and heart beating, but cannot respond to external stimuli that require voluntary actions such as responding to pain, eating and defecating. In some cases, comatose people may need machines to help them breathe normally. Normally, a coma will last for a few weeks before slowly regaining consciousness. Any longer than that will progress a coma to a vegetative state or even worse, brain death. |

STEM CELL THERAPY - CELLTIMAX CelltiMax is a product derived from human umbilical cord-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). The cells are cultured, then administered to the patient via intramuscular or intravenous injection.
The cells have low immunogenicity making them safe, well-tolerated and free of side effects. They have the ability to differentiate into specialized cells with specific functions for various parts of the body, and can reduce inflammation, repair, renew, regenerate, and replace damaged cells. |
