Platelet-Rich Plasma Guided Injections: Clinical Application in Peripheral Neuropathies
We have reviewed the literature concerning the clinical application of PRP in peripheral neuropathies and investigated if there is strong evidence to establish the use of PRP in clinical practice as a therapeutic option.
Efficacy and Safety of Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma for the Treatment of Vascular Ulcers in Primary Care: Phase III Study
The objectives of this study are to assess the potential efficacy and safety of autologous platelet rich plasma for the treatment of venous ulcers compared to the conventional treatment (moist wound care) in primary care patients with chronic venous insufficiency (C, clinical class, E, etiology, A, anatomy and P, pathophysiology classification C6).
Arthroscopic Double Row Cuff Repair with Suture-Bridging and Autologous Conditioned Plasma Injection: Functional and Structural Results
The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of autologous conditioned plasma(ACP) on functional results and on the rate of iterative tears after rotator cuff repair (RCR) by suture bridging.
Bridge to Lung Transplantation and Rescue Post-Transplant: The Expanding Role of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Through this review, we will address the various aspects related to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO use as a bridge to lung transplantation as well as a rescue post-transplant in the treatment of primary graft dysfunction (PGD).
Thoratec CentriMag for Temporary Treatment of Refractory Cardiogenic Shock or Severe Cardiopulmonary Insufficiency: A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies
The aim of the study was to systematically evaluate effect of CentriMag heart pump (Thoratec Corporation) as temporary ventricular assist device (VAD) and part of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) system on outcomes in patients with cardiac or cardiac-respiratory failure.
