Autologous Platelet-Leukocyte Enriched Gel. Basics and Efficacy. A Novel Method to Support Soft Tissue and Bone Healing
The purpose of this thesis was to provide basic information on features which are important for the application of platelet-leukocyte gel, to overcome the conflicting data that have been reported in clinical studies and experimental research on the efficacy of platelet-leukocyte gel treatment.
Early Bone Formation in Human Bone Grafts Treated With Platelet-Rich Plasma: Preliminary Histomorphometric Results
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on early and late bone healing after autogenous maxillary sinus grafting.
FDA Panel Votes to Keep Bayer Drug on the Market
A Food and Drug Administration panel of outside medical experts said a Bayer AG drug, used to control bleeding in patients undergoing heart-bypass surgery, should stay on the U.S. market.
Bloodless Cardiac Surgery is Associated With Decreased Morbidity and Mortality
We hypothesized that cardiac surgery with perioperative blood transfusion was associated with worse outcomes.
Prolonged Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation-Assisted Support Provides Improved Survival in Hypothermic Patients with Cardiocirculatory Arrest
aim of this study was to evaluate whether extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-assisted resuscitation improves survival in patients with hypothermic cardiac arrest.
Processing of Stored Packed Red Blood Cells Using Autotransfusion Devices Decreases Potassium and Microaggregates: A Prospective, Randomized, Single-Blinded in Vitro Study
The aim of the study was to compare the potential of autotransfusion devices to reduce non-infectious complications related to transfusion of long-stored packed red blood cells (PRBC; n= 57), such as changes in electrolytes, blood cells and the load of free microaggregates.
Predictors of Outcome in Patients With Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
We aimed to identify (a) the factors that could predict outcome and (b) the incidence and relation of complications during ECMO to outcome.
Antibacterial Effect of Autologous Platelet Gel Enriched With Growth Factors and Other Active Substances: An In Vitro Study
We analysed the antibacterial effect of platelet-rich gel in vitro by using the platelet-rich plasma samples of 20 volunteers, in vitro laboratory susceptibility to platelet-rich gel was determined by the Kirby-Bauer disc-diffusion method. Baseline antimicrobial activity was assessed by measuring the zones of inhibition on agar plates coated with selected bacterial strains.
