Evaluation of Continuous Veno-Venous Hemofiltration for the Treatment of Cardiogenic Shock in Conjunction With Acute Renal Failure After Cardiac Surgery
The aim of our observational study was to evaluate the impact of CVVH strategy on ARF in conjunction with cardiogenic shock after cardiac surgery and on its well-known associated poor outcome.
Nesiritide Enhances Myocardial Protection during the Revascularization of Acutely Ischemic Myocardium
This study was, therefore, undertaken to determine whether nesiritide alone could enhance myocardial protection when given intraoperatively in a porcine model simulating urgent coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Risk Factors for Massive Blood Transfusion in Cytoreductive Surgery: A Multivariate Analysis of 243 Procedures
Our study is the first of its kind to evaluate the risk factors for intraoperative MABT in peritonectomy procedures.
The Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Bone Marrow on Murine Posterolateral Lumbar Spine Arthrodesis With Bone Morphogenetic Protein
The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of co-administration of fresh harvested autologous bone marrow aspirate and platelet-rich plasma on rhBMP-2-mediated in vivo murine posterolateral lumbar spine arthrodesis.
Determination of Pump Flow Rate During Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Obese Patients Avoiding Hemodilution
The present study attempts to evaluate the adequacy of pump flow rate in obese patients, considering the ideal weight instead of the real one, avoiding the overflow side effects and hemodilution.
The Role of the Platelet-Rich Plasma in Accelerating the Wound-Healing Process and Recovery in Patients Being Operated for Pilonidal Sinus Disease: Preliminary Results
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of platelet-derived growth factors on the healing process.
Experimental Evaluation of the JenaClip Transcatheter Aortic Valve
We evaluated a self-expanding valve system with a novel mechanism of fixation in an experimental setting in an acute animal model and ex vivo in aortic root specimens.
Predictors of Packed Red Cell Transfusion After Isolated Primary Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting – The Experience of a Single Cardiac Center: A Prospective Observational Study
The aim of this prospective observational study is to identify perioperative patient characteristics predicting the need for allogeneic packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion in isolated primary coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operations.
Comparison of Gastrointestinal Complications in On-Pump Versus Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
We sought to compare the incidence of GI complications in patients undergoing on-pump and off-pump CABG.
Does the Circadian Rhythm of Melatonin Affect Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting?
Melatonin is a potent scavenger of free radicals and an antioxidant. We studied the relationship between the protective effect of melatonin against ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) during cardiopulmonary bypass, the plasma level of melatonin, and the time of surgery.
Transplantation of Embryonic Fibroblasts Treated with Platelet-Rich Plasma Induces Osteogenesis in SAMP8 Mice Monitored by Molecular Imaging
The aim of this study was to develop a cell-based bone-regeneration approach evaluated by molecular imaging and immunohistochemistry.
