Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma at the Cellular Level on Healing of Autologous Bone-Grafted Mandibular Defects in Dogs
This study describes the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) at the cellular level on immediate autologous bone grafts in dog mandibles.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Activity on Maxillary Sinus Floor Augmentation by Autologous Bone
This work aims to evaluate the regenerative potential of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on an implant site of peculiar clinical impact, such as sinus augmentation.
Early Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Bone Healing in Combination With an Osteoconductive Material in Rat Cranial Defects
We hypothesize that PRP exerts its beneficial effect on bone regeneration within the first and second week after application in a bone defect combined with an osteoconductive material.
Retransfusion of Pericardial Blood Does Not Trigger Systemic Coagulation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We investigated to which extent retransfusion of pericardial blood triggers systemic coagulation during CPB.
Mortality Associated With Aprotinin During 5 Years Following Coronary Artery Bypass
To contrast long-term all-cause mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery according to use of 2 lysine analog antifibrinolytics (aminocaproic acid and tranexamic acid), the serine protease inhibitor aprotinin, or no antibleeding agent.
Use of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Dormant Corneal Ulcers
To investigate the potential role of autologous platelet-rich plasma in promoting healing in dormant corneal ulcers.
Trends in Intra-Aortic Balloon Counterpulsation: Comparison of a 669 Record Australian Dataset With the Multinational Benchmark Counterpulsation Outcomes Registry
The aim of this study was to review and describe indications for intraaortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) use and identify the impact these have on outcomes at an Australian cardiothoracic tertiary referral hospital. A secondary aim was comparison of the Australian practice with a large multinational IABP data registry.
Calcium Sulfate and Platelet-Rich Plasma Make a Novel Osteoinductive Biomaterial for Bone Regeneration
With the present study we introduce a novel and simple biomaterial able to induce regeneration of bone. We theorized that nourishing a bone defect with calcium and with a large amount of activated platelets may initiate a series of biological processes that culminate in bone regeneration.
Heparin Sensitivity Test for Patients Requiring Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Abstract: Anticoagulation for the open heart surgery patient undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is achieved with the use of heparin. The industry standard of […]
Perfusion Techniques For Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy Under Deep Hypothermia Circulatory Arrest: A Case Series
Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is a complicated surgical procedure that is an effective treatment in reducing pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
Arterio-Venous Gradients of Free Energy Change for Assessment of Systemic and Splanchnic Perfusion in Cardiac Surgery Patients
aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between gradients of free energy change, and the more commonly used parameter for the evaluation of the adequacy of organ perfusion, such as oxygen-extraction in patients undergoing valve replacement surgery using normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Vacuum-Assisted Venous Drainage in Extrathoracic Cardiopulmonary Bypass Management During Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
The aim of this study is to report our experience with extrathoracic CPB with VAVD application (on CPB) during open-heart MICS.
