Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Induced Pulsatile Perfusion Reduces Endothelial Activation and Inflammatory Response Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP)-induced pulsatile perfusion has demonstrated that it can preserve organ function during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We evaluated the role of IABP pulsatile perfusion on endothelial response.
The Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Osteoblast and Periodontal Ligament Cell Migration, Proliferation and Differentiation
The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro effect of platelet-rich plasma on osteoblasts and periodontal ligament cell function.
Bone Regeneration with Autologous Plasma, Bone Marrow Stromal Cells, and Porous beta-Tricalcium Phosphate in Nonhuman Primates
We tested its effectiveness and investigated the effects of its components on a monkey ectopic bone formation model.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Effect on Periodontally Affected Human Gingival Fibroblasts: An in Vitro Study
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the gingival fibroblast proliferative response derived from patients with chronic and aggressive periodontitis to homologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting With a Minimized Cardiopulmonary Bypass Circuit: a Prospective, Randomized Trial
The study was designed to determine differences in blood loss and transfusion associated with a minimized cardiopulmonary bypass circuit versus a standard bypass circuit.
Recombinat Activated Factor VII Following Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
Review the use of recombinant activated Factor VII following cardiac surgery. Specifically, we sought to define our current therapeutic practice indications and outcomes to assess the impact of recombinant activated factor VII on postoperative bleeding.
Blood Transfusion Reduction in Cardiac Surgery: Multidisciplinary Approach at a Community Hospital
Mounting evidence exists for more restrictive blood transfusion practices in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Few studies, however, have recognized or agree upon a method by which this decrease in allogeneic red blood cell transfusion can be achieved. We will review our methods and experience in a blood conservation initiative from 2003 to 2007.
Autologous Platelet Concentrates for Bone Graft Enhancement in Sinus Lift Procedure
The goal of this study was to demonstrate that osteogenesis gained by mixing autologous PLT concentrates (APCs) with a small quantity of autologous bone graft could give a sufficient quality to lead to dental implant placement.
Comparison of Transfusion Requirements for Conventional and Miniaturized Extracorporeal Circuits
The use of MECs can be expected to be associated with fewer red blood cell transfusions.
Regeneration of Autotransplanted Avascular Lymph Nodes in the Rat Is Improved by Platelet-Rich Plasma
The aim of this study was to verify that subcutaneous lymph node transplantation inducing lymphatic regeneration is possible in healthy adult rats, in analogy to results obtained in other species.
Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo Controlled Study of Neuroprotection With Lidocaine in Cardiac Surgery
Cognitive decline after cardiac surgery remains common and diminishes patients' quality of life. Based on experimental and clinical evidence, this study assessed the potential of intravenously administered lidocaine to reduce postoperative cognitive dysfunction after cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass.
