Its essence is in stem cell
transplantation. The experiment is being conducted under the project of the
National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. The development of scientist Y. Shanko
is already suitable for the Ministry of Healthcare. Stem cell transplantation
is used in cases where traditional methods are not effective enough. For
example, in cases of serious consequences of a stroke, Parkinson's disease or
traumatic brain injury. Using this method, 50 patients have already been cured
in the emergency hospital canteen. The new type of care can become part of a
comprehensive recovery after severe neurological diseases. Stroke is getting
younger: the diagnosis is made even at the age of 20. The causes are different,
most often these are congenital vascular phenomena. In general, 30-35 thousand
cases of stroke are recorded annually in Belarus.
