MEDTRONIC ANNOUNCES FDA CLEARANCE AND FIRST USES OF NEW OXYGENATION SYSTEM FOR ADULT CARDIAC SURGERY
New System Designed for Patient Safety, Ease of Use During Open-Heart Procedures
Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 on Suture Distraction Osteogenesis
The aim of the present study was to verify the effect of PRP and its combination with rhBMP-2 as a controlled delivery system during sagittal suture distraction osteogenesis.
Ultrasound-Guided Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections for the Treatment of Common Peroneal Nerve Palsy Associated with Multiple Ligament Injuries of the Knee
The present case represents the application of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) technology for the treatment of peroneal nerve palsy with drop foot. This technology has already been proven its therapeutic potential for various musculoskeletal disorders. Based on these results, we hypothesized that PRGF could stimulate the healing process of traumatic peroneal nerve palsy with drop foot.
Evaluation of the Effects of Homologous Platelet Gel on Healing Lower Extremity Wounds in Patients with Diabetes
Our data indicated that homologous PG was effective for the enhancement and acceleration of diabetic lower extremity wounds healing. We propose that homologous PG appeared to enhance vascularization and epithelialization, which might induce a quicker healing process and and encourage controlled studies in future.
Platelet Concentrates, from Whole Blood or Collected by Apheresis
The quality and characteristics of platelets during storage are affected by a number of factors, such as anticoagulant, centrifugation and processing after collection, and pre- or post storage pooling, but when comparing literature on the various methods, most differences balance out.
