Orthopedic surgeon Brian Mehling, MD and his research team at BHI Therapeutic Sciences will exhibit at the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons 2020 Annual Meeting, March 24 – 28, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
The team will present the results of their study entitled “Adipose Tissue-Derived Stromal Vascular Fraction Cells Application in Subjects with Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis: Retrospective Chart Review Study.” Their results will be presented at booth #1004 located in the West Concourse of the convention center.
“Musculoskeletal disorders are one of the most common reasons that patients seek medical care. The most common musculoskeletal problems are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, said Dr. Mehling. “Adipose tissue-derived Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) cell therapy is a promising therapeutic option for rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis,” he added.
Dr. Mehling and his team conducted the current retrospective chart review study to analyze the therapeutic efficacy of SVF cells administration in 350 subjects with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. In the period from 2015 to 2018, 350 subjects received an intra- articular injection of autologous SVF cells at the Malacky Hospital (Bratislava, Slovakia). The hospital is fully licensed by the Ministry of Health of the Slovak Republic to offer cord blood, bone marrow and adipose stem cell derived treatments at Malacky Hospital in Bratislava, Slovakia. The study was approved by the Ministry of Health of the Slovak Republic and by the Institutional Review Board of the Institute of Regenerative and Cellular Medicine (IRCM-2017- 137).
“Charts were reviewed, and information from subjects’ pain and mobility assessment scales, conducted seven days, three, six and 12 months after therapy, was collected in the data collection forms,” said Marina Manvelyan, Ph.D., clinical research scientist, BHI Therapeutic Sciences.
Assessment of pain and mobility was conducted seven days, three, six and 12 months after SVF cell therapy. Significant decrease in subjects’ pain levels and improvement in mobility were observed three, six and 12 months compared to seven days after therapy. The therapy demonstrated a strong safety profile with no severe adverse events or complications reported.
Dr. Mehling is a practicing American orthopedic trauma surgeon and researcher. He is spearheading groundbreaking research in stem cell therapy. Notably, BHITS is currently engaged in an FDA Investigational New Drug trial for stroke, using human umbilical cord blood (hUCB) stem cells.

Dr. Mehling started his path in medicine through undergraduate study at Harvard University, obtaining his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Science degrees in Biochemistry from Ohio State University.

Completing his degree of medicine at Wright State University School of Medicine, Dr. Mehling received post graduate education through residencies and fellowships at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Paterson, NJ and the Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia, PA, while pursuing a Ph.D. in Chemistry (which he is currently completing at Seton Hall University).

Dr. Mehling operates practices in northern New Jersey and Long Island, New York where he is on staff at Good Samaritan Hospital, Hackensack University Medical Center, Hackensack University Medical Center at Pascack Valley, Hackensack Meridian Palisades Medical Center, Hudson Regional Hospital, St. Joseph’s Medical Center, and St. Joseph’s Wayne Medical Center.
Founded in 1933, the Academy is the preeminent provider of musculoskeletal education to orthopaedic surgeons and others in the world. Its continuing medical education activities include a world-renowned Annual Meeting, multiple CME courses held around the country and at the Orthopaedic Learning Center, and various medical and scientific publications and electronic media materials.
