Comparison of Two Doses of Tranexamic Acid in Adults Undergoing Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The optimal dose of tranexamic acid (TA) is still an issue. The authors compared two doses of TA during cardiac surgery in a multicenter, double-blinded, randomized study.
Enhancing Intervertebral Disc Repair and Regeneration Through Biology: Platelet-Rich Plasma as an Alternative Strategy
This review describes the current understanding of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) and related biological therapeutic strategies, especially the promising prospects of PRP treatment.
Autologous Blood Derived Signaling Proteins for Tendon and Muscle Therapy in Sports Medicine Higher Concentration of Growth Factors and Cytokines in Orthokine VS in ACP
We compared 2 none-PRP techniques: ORTHOKINE (Oe) for Autologous Conditioned Serum (ACS) and ACP (Ax) for autologous plasma (AP)
How Effective are Injection Treatments for Lateral Epicondylitis
We compared the effectiveness, after 3 months, of a single injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), glucocorticoid (GC), or saline in reducing pain in lateral epicondylitis.
Prospective Clinical Trial on dosage Optimizing of Tranexamic Acid in Non-Emergency Cardiac Surgery Procedures
After withdrawal of aprotinin in 2008 only tranexamic acid (TxA, Cyclocapron, Pfitzer, Germany) remains available as antihyperfibrinolytic agent in Europe.
The Biomechanics and Histological Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Fracture Healing
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) includes growth factors and proteins that accelerate and stimulate bone regeneration and tissue recovery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of PRP on fracture healing in terms of biomechanics and histology.
Comparison of Epsilon Aminocaproic Acid and Tranexamic Acid in Thoracic Aortic Surgery: Clinical Efficacy and Safety
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid (TXA) versus epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) in patients undergoing thoracic aortic surgery.
Impact of Smoking Status on Outcomes after Concomitant Aortic Valve Replacement and Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
There is a paucity of data on the impact of smoking status on outcomes after concomitant aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass graft (AVR-CABG) surgery.
Tricuspid valve Endocarditis Following Central Venous Cannulation: The Increasing Problem of Catheter Related Infection
We report a case of tricuspid valve endocarditis, probably secondary to injury of the anterior tricuspid leaflet by the guide wire or the CVC that required open heart surgery with vegetectomy and repair of the tricuspid valve.
