Case Study: Brain Surgery (Functional Stereotaxy) for Stroke

Comprehensive Stroke Treatment

Patient Information

• Name: Malti Prasad
• Date of Birth: January 1, 1958
• Gender: Female
• Country of Residence: New Zealand

Diagnosis: Stroke caused by atherosclerosis of the carotid artery with resulting dystonia and motor function impairment.

Treatment:

• Stereotactic Brain Procedure (historically described as MIBR) using Remebot technology
• Stem Cell Transplantation
• Physical Therapy
• Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Malti's Journey:

In 2008, Malti Prasad suffered a stroke that left her with difficulty walking and speaking. Her right upper limb muscle strength was near 3/5 distally and 0/5 proximally, while the right lower limb was 4/5. Due to these disabilities, Malti fell into depression.

After thorough evaluation of Malti's medical data and symptoms by BPIH's medical team, a comprehensive treatment protocol was devised:

1. Stereotactic Brain Procedure (historically described as MIBR) using Remebot technology:

   • The Remebot system was used for the stereotactic procedure described in this report; brain-tissue repair is not established by this case.
   • Only local anesthesia was required due to the minimal invasiveness of the procedure.
   • Stem cells were injected into specific positions in Malti's basal ganglia and subcortex.

2. Stem Cell Transplantation:

   • The report describes stem cell administration. It does not establish neuronal replacement, neurogenesis, angiogenesis or a treatment benefit attributable to the cells.

3. Physical Therapy:

   • Postoperative rehabilitation exercises helped improve Malti's muscle strength and motor function.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM):

   • Tailored TCM treatments aimed to enhance overall well-being and facilitate recovery.

Treatment Results:

• One week after the procedure, noticeable improvements were observed.
• Postoperative CT scans revealed no excessive bleeding.
• Malti's muscle tone in her right limb improved from 3/5 preoperatively to 1-2/5 postoperatively.
• Her walking ability showed significant improvement, and she could walk slowly but steadily.
• Facial expressions and speech function greatly improved.
• Malti expressed gratitude to BPIH's medical team in Chinese: "谢谢你们！" (Thank you all!)

Returning Home:

Malti returned to New Zealand with renewed hope and a smile on her face. We eagerly await updates on her continuous progress.

Case Study: Brain Surgery (Functional Stereotaxy) for Stroke

Historical Patient Account after Stroke

Patient Information

• Name: Mark
• Date of Birth: September 10, 1976
• Gender: Male
• Country of Residence: USA

Diagnosis: Cerebral hemorrhage with post-stroke symptoms (left-sided numbness, neuropathic pain, impaired motor function)

Treatment:

• Stereotactic Brain Procedure (historically described as MIBR)
• Biotherapy
• Physical Therapy
• Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Mark's Journey:

In March 2018, Mark suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage at home, leaving him with persistent numbness and neuropathic pain on his left side. His motor function was impaired, making walking challenging and causing anxiety about falling. For eight months, various treatments failed to provide relief or improve his condition.

Mark, a dedicated father of two daughters, refused to give up hope. He discovered Beijing Puhua International Hospital (BPIH) offered stereotactic surgery for stroke patients. Mark traveled from San Francisco to BPIH on December 1, 2018, seeking treatment and hoping for recovery.

Treatment at BPIH:

• December 7: Stereotactic surgery was performed under local anesthesia.
• Postoperative care: Mark received tailored neurological supplementation, rehabilitation exercises, and acupuncture treatments. His nerve pain decreased significantly, and his overall physical strength improved.

Milestones during Treatment:

• Mid-December: Mark walked unassisted around the hospital ward.
• Before returning home (December 15): Mark visited a local shopping mall in Beijing without using a wheelchair, saying, "I can go by myself; let me rekindle my hope for life!"

Returning Home:
On December 15, Mark returned to the United States with his mother. He planned to adjust his lifestyle and diet to lose weight, manage blood pressure and lipids, and prevent stroke recurrence. He committed to continuing rehabilitation exercises.

Follow-up Plan:
Mark plans to return to BPIH for a follow-up physical examination next summer, aiming for further improvement in his condition and overall well-being. We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him again!

Advanced Treatment for Stroke Patient

Patient Information

• Name: Izsak Helen
• Date of Birth: January 19, 1961
• Gender: Female
• Country of Residence: USA

Diagnosis: Hemorrhagic stroke

Treatment Plan:

• Stereotactic Brain Procedure (historically described as MIBR)
• Nerve growth factor transplantation
• Rehabilitation therapy
• Traditional Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture)

Introduction:
Helen, a close friend of our previous patient Mr. Mark, had heard about his reported progress at Beijing Puhua International Hospital (BPIH). After attending her daughter's wedding, Helen and her husband decided to visit BPIH to address Helen's post-stroke symptoms.

Medical Condition Before Treatment:

• Complete left-side paralysis
• Weak muscle strength in the left upper limb with poor muscle tone
• Inability to coordinate movements due to lack of cooperation from the left body side

Treatment at BPIH:

• MIBR combined with nerve growth factor transplantation
• Daily acupuncture sessions
• Comprehensive rehabilitation therapy

Medical Condition After Treatment (Pre-Discharge):

• Improved walking ability
• Relaxed and more responsive tight muscles

Post-Treatment Follow-up:

• Helen and her husband returned home safely

• Right tendon reflex: +, Left tendon reflex: ++
• Positive Hoffman's sign, Rossolimo's sign, and Babinski's sign on the right side
• Right hand contracture with claw hand presentation
• Significant edema in lower extremities, particularly the right side

Treatment:

1. Minimally invasive unframed brain stereotactic surgery with neural nerve growth factor transplantation
2. Post-operative rehabilitation therapy focusing on limb movement and stability
3. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support overall recovery

Post-Treatment Progress:

• Right lower limb muscle strength improved from 1/5 to 3/5
• Able to stand unassisted and walk with stable assistance
