Principles of Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion During Arch Reconstruction in Newborns/Infants
Antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) is a cardiopulmonary bypass technique that uses special cannulation procedures to perfuse only the brain during neonatal and infant aortic arch reconstruction.

Reducing the Effects of the Systemic Inflammatory Response to Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Can Single Dose Steroids Blunt Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome?
The use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with the development of a significant systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) which can affect patient outcomes.
Evaluation of Platelet Gel Characteristics Using Thrombin Produced by the Thrombin Processing Device: A Comparative Study
Autologous platelet gels can be prepared using the patient's own platelet-rich plasma and thrombin produced by the Thrombin Processing Device (Thermogenesis Corp, Rancho Cordova, CA).
Activation of Platelet-Rich Plasma Using Soluble Type I Collagen
In this work, our hypothesis was that soluble type I collagen would be as effective as bovine thrombin in causing clotting of the PRP and stimulating growth factor release from the platelets and granulocytes.
Platelet Rich Plasma Basic Science (Video)
This is a video which summarizes the mechanism of action of Platelet-rich plasma.
The Effect of Different Concentrations of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Human Periodontal Ligament Cells In Vitro
To assess the effect of different concentrations of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on cell proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) in vitro.
