Using a Miniaturized Circuit and an Asanguineous Prime to Reduce Neutrophil-Mediated Organ Dysfunction Following Infant Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We determined whether using a miniaturized circuit and an asanguineous prime attenuated the post-bypass inflammatory response, and improved right ventricular and pulmonary function.
High Flow Rates During Modified Ultrafiltration Decrease Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity and Venous Oxygen Saturation in Infants
We investigated the effects of different blood flow rates during modified ultrafiltration on the cerebral hemodynamics of children with weights above and below 10 kg.
Platelet Preservation With a Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitor in a Porcine Cardiopulmonary Bypass Model
We tested whether administration of FK633, a short-acting glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor, before median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass was able to interrupt the platelet activation loop and thereby preserve platelet number and function.
Can Autologous Thrombin With a Rest Fraction of Ethanol be Used Safely for Activation of Concentrated Autologous Platelets Applied on Nerves?
The use of concentrated platelet-rich plasma (cPRP) as a source of growth factors is reported to be beneficial for an enhanced osteogenesis in spine surgery.
Propofol is Cardioprotective in a Clinically Relevant Model of Normothermic Blood Cardioplegic Arrest and Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Propofol may therefore be a useful adjunct to cardioplegic solutions as well as being an appropriate anesthetic for cardiac surgery.

Myocardial Protection in Diabetics With Left Main Stem Disease: Which is the Best Strategy?
Aim of the study is to compare 2 different strategies of myocardial protection in diabetics with LMSD.

Changes in Platelet Aggregation During Dardiopulmonary Bypass: Comparison of Poly-2-methoxyethylacrylate and Heparin as a Circuit Coating Material
In this study, a CPB system coated with poly-2-methoxyethylacrylate (X coating) was used to ascertain whether platelet aggregation could be suppressed during CPB, and a comparison was made between X coating and ordinary (covalently bonded) heparin coating.
Optimal pH Strategy for Selective Cerebral Perfusion
Selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) affords brain protection superior to hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) for prolonged aortic arch procedures.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Combined With a Porous Hydroxyapatite Graft for the Treatment of Intrabony Periodontal Defects in Humans: A Comparative Controlled Clinical Study
The aim of the present controlled clinical study was to compare platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combined with a biodegradable ceramic, porous hydroxyapatite (HA) with a mixture of HA and saline in the treatment of human intrabony defects.
