Optimizing Venous Drainage Using an Ultrasonic Flow Probe on the Venous Line
The use of smaller cannulae for minimally invasive surgery techniques and/or aggressive miniaturization of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuitry has necessitated the need to augment venous drainage to achieve adequate flow rates.
Usefulness of Periprocedural Bleeding to Predict Outcome After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
We investigated whether using the new bleeding definition of the Valve Academic Research Consortium predicts a poor outcome after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Use of Platelet Rich Plasma Gel on Wound Healing: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Autologous platelet rich plasma is an advanced wound therapy used in hard-to-heal acute and chronic wounds. To better understand the use and clinical outcomes of the therapy, a systematic review of the published literature in cutaneous wounds was performed.
Can Platelet-rich Plasma Be Used for Skin Rejuvenation? Evaluation of Effects of Platelet-rich Plasma on Human Dermal Fibroblas
In this study, the effects of activated platelet-rich plasma (aPRP) and activated platelet-poor plasma (aPPP) have been investigated on the remodelling of the extracellular matrix, a process that requires activation of dermal fibroblasts, which is essential for rejuvenation of aged skin.
A Modified Thrombin Clotting Time Test as a Quality Control Marker for Heparin Contamination in Obstetric Intraoperative Cell Salvage
To assess if a modified thrombin clotting time test could be used as a simple quality control (QC) method to screen for unfractionated heparin in the product obtained from obstetric intraoperative cell salvage cases before re-infusion.
