Use of a Massive Transfusion Protocol in Nontrauma Patients: Activate Away
The current study was designed to investigate whether a massive transfusion protocol could be used effectively in general medical/surgical patients without detrimentally impacting resource allocation.
TEG-guided Resuscitation is Superior to Standardized MTP Resuscitation in Massively Transfused Penetrating Trauma Patients
In this study we hypothesized that TEG-directed resuscitation is equivalent to massive transfusion protocol resuscitation.
Low Hemorrhage-Related Mortality in Trauma Patients in a Level I Trauma Center Employing Transfusion Packages and Early Thromboelastography-Directed Hemostatic Resuscitation with Plasma and Platelets
This was a prospective study of adult trauma patients admitted to a Level I trauma center. Demography, Injury Severity Score (ISS), transfusion therapy, and mortality were registered. Hemostatic resuscitation was based on a massive transfusion protocol encompassing transfusion packages and thromboelastography (TEG)-guided therapy.
Combination Therapy of Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells and Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor Hydrogel in Muscle Regeneration
In this study, we determined whether the combination therapy using human adipose-derived stem cells (h-ADSCs) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) incorporated into hydrogel could enhance muscle regeneration in a muscle laceration animal model.
Influence of Tranexamic Acid on Postoperative Autologous Blood Retransfusion in Primary Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In this study, we hypothesized that adding tranexamic acid (TXA) to a restrictive blood transfusion protocol would reduce the need for postoperative autologous blood retransfusion in primary knee and hip arthroplasty.
PHD2 Silencing Enhances the Survival and Paracrine Function of Transplanted Adipose-Derived Stem Cells in Infarcted Myocardium
We studied if and how Prolyl hydroxylase domain protein 2 silencing in human adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) enhances their cardioprotective effects after transplantation into infarcted hearts.
Processed Residual Pump Blood in Cardiac Surgery: The Processed Residual Blood in Cardiac Surgery Trial
This study seeks to establish if processing residual CPB volume with ultrafiltration reduces homologous blood transfusion and bleeding.
Diagnosis and Management of Primary Aldosteronism: An Updated Review
Utilizing a physician-centered approach, we intend to provide up-dated information on the etiology, diagnosis, and the management of Primary Aldosteronism.
