Intravascular Volume Administration: A Contributing Risk Factor for Intracranial Hemorrhage During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation?
The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the frequency and total volume of intravascular volume administration and the development of intracranial hemorrhage during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Tissue-Engineered Cultured Periosteum Used With Platelet-Rich Plasma and Hydroxyapatite in Treating Human Osseous Defects
The aim of the present controlled clinical study was to compare the clinical response of human cultured periosteum (HCP) sheets in combination with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and porous hydroxyapatite (HA) granules to a mixture of PRP and HA in the treatment of human infrabony periodontal defects.
Platelet-Rich Plasma and Connective Tissue Grafts in the Treatment of Gingival Recessions: A Histometric Study in Dogs
The aim of this study was to histometrically evaluate the healing process of gingival recessions treated with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in combination with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) and to compare it to that obtained with SCTG alone.
Antegrade Versus Retrograde Cerebral Perfusion in Relation to Postoperative Complications Following Aortic Arch Surgery for Acute Aortic Dissection Type A
Aortic arch surgery is impossible without the temporary interruption of brain perfusion and therefore is associated with high incidence of neurologic injury. The deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA), in combination with antegrade or retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP), is a well-established method of brain protection in aortic arch surgery. In this retrospective study, we compare the two methods of brain perfusion.
