Stem Cell Therapy In Pediatric Neurological Disorders
There are some medical disorders that have remained very difficult to treat over the last many years. Pediatric neurological disorders like autism, cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy have been some of them. All the advances in imaging, pharmacology and surgical techniques failed to make a significant dent in the quality of lives of these children. However in the recent few years there has been a development in the field of regenerative medicine whereby stem cell therapy has become available to us as a new treatment method . The biggest impact of stem cell therapy has been on the otherwise incurable pediatric neurological disorders. These are new and exciting times for pediatric neurology. With increasing research in this field and greater publications coming out showing the safety and efficacy of stem cell therapy, a quantum shift is happening in our approach to these disorders . We have shifted from hopelessness to hope and from lack of options to the availability of multiple options in all aspects of their care. We can safely say now that "Stem cell therapy is an idea whose time has come"

Parent and Teacher Guidebook for Autism 2nd Edition
Autism is one of the most unrecognized and neglected epidemics of our time and its an epidemic whose incidence is increasing significantly. Since for all these years there was no definitive medical or surgical treatment available for autism, doctors found themselves limited to making the diagnosis and giving symptomatic relief to symptoms like epilepsy and behavioral problems. It was therefore left to the special educators and the rehabilitation therapists to do whatever they could for these children. This therefore put the entire onus of treating and managing these children on the parents

Stem Cell Therapy in Neurological Disorder 3rd Edition
This book addresses the bioethics behind using stem cell therapy as a way of treating certain conditions. There are two sides to the ethical debate on basing our treatment options on evidence based medicine. [1] One side of the debate is " Is it ethical for doctors to offer to patients treatment options that have not become a standard of care as yet?." [2] The other side of the debate is "Is it ethical to deny patients suffering from disabling diseases, treatments options that are safe and available, whilst we wait many years for the results of multicentric international trial to prove that these treatments work ?" Both these questions are answered differently by different people depending on what is at stake for them.

Looking After Children With Autism
Parenting a special child is one of the most challenging and demanding tasks for a family to manage. Children with autism appear like any other children and yet have certain limitations that need special attention and looking after. Whereas doctors, therapists and special educator play a major role in assisting the child overcome their limitations, the final onus of integrating these children into main stream life is obviously with the parents. We at Neurogen believe that well informed and empowered parents can make a big difference to the lives of children with autism. Since parents sometimes find it difficult to understand medical and technical terms, we decided to bring out this handbook which has been written in a very simplified manner for any parent to understand. Understanding exactly what the medical problems are with their children as well as understanding how different therapies and treatments work, gives parents the ability to identify and implement treatment programs that are best suited to their child. The last few years has seen a major explosion both in research in autism as well as the availability of newer and advanced technologies that can be used as treatment. In this book we have explained many of these new technologies as well so that parents can make an informed choice about what is best for their child. At Neurogen we have seen some dramatic improvements in the majority of our children with autism using a combination of paediatric neurorehabilitation therapies (Occupational Therapy, Sensory Integration Therapy, Physiotherapy, Speech Therapy, Applied Behaviour Analysis, Art Based Therapy, and Special Education) combined with state-of-the art medical technology (Stem Cell Therapy). We understand that making a choice as to whether one should opt for using advanced medical technologies can be a difficult one for parents and we hope that the information in this handbook helps them to make appropriate informed choices.
