Insulin impairment and insulin resistance are the major causes of type II diabetes mellitus. People with T2DM are more prone to macro-vascular and micro vascular impediments. Adult Autologous Adipose derived stem cells (ADSC) hold potential to develop into multilineages and they can secrete numerous growth factors that can regenerate the damaged neighboring cells. The chronic wound healing processes and diabetes-associated complications are reported to be treated by using stem cells by revascularization and by promoting the micro vascular remodeling. Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Adipose derived autologous stem cells and PRP in patients suffering from Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Methods: We reported three cases aged 50, 69 and 72 years suffering from T2DM since 20, 10 and 20 years respectively. They were treated with Adult autologous ADSC and Platelets Rich Plasma (PRP). Results: Over a follow up of twelve months significant control in glycemia as well as stable glycosylated hemoglobin with decrease in pain on Visual Analogous scale (VAS) score has been observed.

In all 500 children were treated and the data was gathered during a period of 4 years from December 2006 till December 2010. These children were further classified according to the type of C.P. (spastic, athetoid, mixed) they suffered from and associated Neurological Disorders. This article shows results in C.P. childern who were treated with ACULASER THERAPY for a minimum of 08 weeks and more or had minimum of 15 treatment sessions and more. This article also shows that those childern who were given a break in the treatment for 1 month to 1 year did not show any reversal of the signs and symptoms. Analysis of the data showed that out of 342 children with Spasticity and Stiffness 294 showed marked improvement showing 87% success rate, out of 252 children with Epileptic fits, there was a significant reduction in the intensity, frequency and duration of Epileptic fits in 182 children showing 72% success rate, out of 96 children with Cortical Blindness 60 children showed improvement accounting for 63% efficacy rate, out of 210 children with Hearing Difficulties, 126 showed marked improvement accounting for 60% improvement rate, out of 380 children with Speech Disorders 244 showed improvement reflecting 64 % improvement rate, out of 192 children with Hemiplegia 142 showed improvement in movement, tone and power accounting for 74% improvement rate, out of 152 children with Quadriplegia 104 showed improvement in gross and fine motor functions showing 69% success rate and out of 116 children with Paraplegia of lower limbs 88 showed improvement in weight bearing, standing and movement accounting for 76% improvement rate.

In all 15 children were treated and the initial data was gathered during a period of 6 months from October 2003 till March 2004. These children were included randomly as they presented at the center. This article shows the initial results of the treatment with AcuLaser therapy in CP children who had minimum of 10 treatment sessions or more. Follow up study will be presented later. These children were further classified according to their major presenting complaints. Analysis of the data showed that out of 11 children with severe spasticity and stiffness all showed marked improvement showing 100% success rate, out of 8 children with Epileptic fits there was a significant reduction in the intensity, frequency and duration of Epileptic fits in 6 children while 2 didn't show any improvement or aggravation showing 75% success rate. Out of 5 children with cortical blindness 2 children showed complete recovery of vision and 3 showed marked improvement, accounting for 40% cure rate; out of 4 children with hearing difficulties, 2 showed marked improvement accounting for 50% success rate; out of 14 children with speech disorders 8 showed improvement reflecting 57 % improvement rate. Analysis of the data gathered during this study indicates a high %age of improvement in C.P. children, not only improving the spasticity and stiffness but also the cortical blindness, epilepsy, deafness and speech.

DESIGN: Randomized, sham controlled, double blind trial, with blinded evaluation, statistical analysis of results and standardized parent report. SUBJECTS AND INTERVENTIONS: Children with ASD were randomly separated into two groups one receiving laser-acupuncture (LA) group (n=60) and the other sham laser- acupuncture (SLA) group (n=56) matched by age and severity of autism. The LA group received laser-acupuncture for selected acupoints while the SLA group received sham laser-acupuncture to sham acupoints. A total of 24 LA and SLA sessions over 12 weeks were given. Primary outcome measures included Functional Independence Measure for Children (WeeFIM), Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI), Leiter International Performance Scale- Revised (Leiter-R), and Clinical Global Impression- Improvement (CGI-I) scale. Secondary outcome measures consisted of Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC), Ritvo-Freeman Real Life Scale (RFRLS), Reynell Developmental Language Scale (RDLS), and a Standardized Parental Report. Data were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS: There were significant improvements in the language comprehension domain of WeeFIM (p=0.02), self-care caregiver assistant domain of PEDI (p=0.028), and CGI-I (p=0.003) in the LA group compared to the SLA group. As for the parental report, the LA group also showed significantly better social initiation (p=0.01), receptive language (p=0.006), motor skills (p=0.034), coordination (p=0.07), and attention span (p=0.003). All children with ASD adapted to laser-acupuncture easily. Mild side effects of irritability during laser-acupuncture were observed. CONCLUSION: A twelve-week (24 sessions) course of laser- acupuncture is useful to improve specific functions in children with ASD, especially for language comprehension, social initiation, motor skills and self-care ability.
