Hard to Treat Diseases, Inc. (HTDS) Reports on Beneficial Effects of Treatment with Combination of B Vitamins on Recovery from Brain Trauma

BELGRADE, Serbia, May 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Hard to Treat Diseases, Inc. (HTDS:PK), http://www.htdsmedical.com is pleased to announce the second poster presentation researchers from its Slavica BioChem (www.slavicabiochem.com) division have presented at the 8th World Congress on the Brain Injury, held in Washington, DC, March 10-14, 2010, under the auspices of The International Brain Injury Association (IBIA) http://www.internationalbrain.org/. The Slavica team presented results which show the potential beneficial effects of repetitive treatment with the cocktail of B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, and B12) on recovery after traumatic brain injury. The IBIA World Congress is the largest gathering of international professionals working in the field of brain injury. Experts of different background took part in this Congress: scientists, physicians, psychologists and neuropsychologists, therapists, social workers, nurses and other professionals involved in the field of brain injury. The Organizers reported the 2010 Meeting was the largest IBIA meeting ever organized, with more than 1000 participants and over 650 accepted abstracts.

Prof Mirjana Stojiljkovic, the leader of Slavica BioChem research team said: "As Dr Pekovic in previous press release (April 6, 2010) mentioned this Congress was an excellent opportunity to get insight into the state-of-the-art research, from the basic science to the clinical aspects of brain injury, as well as for establishing important contacts with international professionals involved in the brain injury research and the care of people with acquired brain injury. At the same time, we were able to present our results in a summary Poster format which was available for review by attendees. We had 3h long session with the visitors of our poster presentation discussing all the questions on the topic presented. Since our results belong to the basic science and are focused to cellular mechanisms underlying traumatic brain injury (TBI) they were very attractive for the numerous medical doctors attending the Congress. Namely, despite all efforts TBI continues to pose a significant health care risk for which there is currently no effective treatment. For many years we are looking for the approaches that could improve recovery after TBI. In this study we focused our attention to B vitamins."

Prof. Mirjana Stojiljkovic added: "Most importantly, the results of our behavioral studies indicated that repetitive treatment with the cocktail of B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, and B12), significantly improved motor coordination of movement. Looking for the effects at the cellular level we observed that B vitamins could induce reduction of glial scar that has been considered as one of the major impediments to neuronal regeneration."

In summary, Prof. Mirjana Stojiljkovic concluded: "These findings are encouraging, they expand and further validate the use of B vitamins as a potentially effective treatment that should be seriously considered for clinical trials in TBI."
