Application of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and its Derivatives in Dental Implantologie and Plastic Surgery
This article is a description of some relevant aspects of the PRP and its application in the areas of dentistry and cosmetic surgery.
Formulation and Storage of Platelet-Rich Plasma Homemade Product
The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous biotherapy based on platelet-healing properties. Here, we developed a simple and reproducible PRP purification protocol based on two successive centrifugations.
MEDTRONIC ANNOUNCES FDA CLEARANCE AND FIRST USES OF NEW OXYGENATION SYSTEM FOR ADULT CARDIAC SURGERY
New System Designed for Patient Safety, Ease of Use During Open-Heart Procedures
Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 on Suture Distraction Osteogenesis
The aim of the present study was to verify the effect of PRP and its combination with rhBMP-2 as a controlled delivery system during sagittal suture distraction osteogenesis.
Ultrasound-Guided Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections for the Treatment of Common Peroneal Nerve Palsy Associated with Multiple Ligament Injuries of the Knee
The present case represents the application of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) technology for the treatment of peroneal nerve palsy with drop foot. This technology has already been proven its therapeutic potential for various musculoskeletal disorders. Based on these results, we hypothesized that PRGF could stimulate the healing process of traumatic peroneal nerve palsy with drop foot.
Evaluation of the Effects of Homologous Platelet Gel on Healing Lower Extremity Wounds in Patients with Diabetes
Our data indicated that homologous PG was effective for the enhancement and acceleration of diabetic lower extremity wounds healing. We propose that homologous PG appeared to enhance vascularization and epithelialization, which might induce a quicker healing process and and encourage controlled studies in future.
Platelet Concentrates, from Whole Blood or Collected by Apheresis
The quality and characteristics of platelets during storage are affected by a number of factors, such as anticoagulant, centrifugation and processing after collection, and pre- or post storage pooling, but when comparing literature on the various methods, most differences balance out.
Is Time on Cardiopulmonary Bypass during Cardiac Surgery Associated with Acute Kidney Injury Requiring Dialysis?
We investigated the relationship between CPB duration and ARF-D occurrence.
Air Transfer of Patients with Intraaortic Balloon Pump Support: Swiss Experience and Recommendations
The aim of the present study was to review the first 38 IABP transfers and to promulgate the currently used standard operating procedure (SOP).
Aortic Cross-Clamp Time, New Prostheses, and Outcome in Aortic Valve Replacement
A number of sutureless bioprosthetic aortic valves have been recently introduced in clinical practice, their main advantage being a reduction in the aortic cross-clamp time (AXCT).
In vitro Analysis of Cell Salvage Blood Collection with a Laparoscopic Suction Device
To determine whether cell salvage blood collection with a laparoscopic suction device is inferior to use of a traditional Yankauer suction device
