Abstract
Many of the recent clinical trials have shown high best material for outdoor grill cover therapeutic potential of cord blood stem cells to treat various diseases in children. In this report we present the results of pilot study of autologous umbilical cord blood cells transplantation for newborn infants with hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. At one year old, case 1 was normal developmentally. Case 2 has gross motor delay with relative sparing of cognition. A multicentre randomised-controlled trial is needed to evaluate clinical effectiveness of this treatment.
