Influence of Platelet-Rich Plasma Added to Xenogeneic Bone Grafts in Periimplant Defects: A Vital Fluorescence Study in Dogs
The goal of this study was to investigate whether the addition of PRP to xenogeneic bone grafts would increase the rate of bone formation in dogs.
Strategies to Reduce Hemostatic Activation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We evaluated whether a modified protocol for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) could reduced the systemic hemostatic activation associated with this procedure.
Enhancement of Syndesmotic Fusion Rates in Total Ankle Arthroplasty With the Use of Autologous Platelet Concentrate
The improved rate of distal tibiofibular fusion may be attributable to the increased presence of growth factors provided by an autologous platelet concentrate.

The improved rate of distal tibiofibular fusion may be attributable to the increased presence of growth factors provided by an autologous platelet concentrate.
Antiphospholipid Syndrome in Cardiac Surgery – An Underestimated Coagulation Disorder?
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a rare coagulation disorder associated with recurrent arterial and venous thrombotic events.
Steroid Use Before Pediatric Cardiac Operations Using Cardiopulmonary Bypass: An International Survey of 36 Centers
Steroid administration before pediatric cardiac operations using cardiopulmonary bypass has been shown to modulate the inflammatory response and reduce myocardial injury.
Heparin Influences Human Platelet Behavior in Cardiac Surgery With or Without Cardiopulmonary Bypass
: The objective was to investigate whether the platelet dysfunction in cardiac surgery is caused by hemodilution or by shear stress due to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Circulatory Arrest and Low-Flow Cardiopulmonary Bypass Alter CREB Phosphorylation in Piglet Brain
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest followed by postbypass recovery on the phosphorylation state of transcription factor, cyclic adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate response element-binding protein (CREB), in the striatum of neonatal brain.
Femoral Versus Aortic Cannulation for Surgery of Chronic Ascending Aortic Aneurysm
In this study, the impact of the arterial cannulation site on the perioperative results after proximal aortic surgery is evaluated.
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.
