The Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Bone Marrow on Murine Posterolateral Lumbar Spine Arthrodesis With Bone Morphogenetic Protein
The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of co-administration of fresh harvested autologous bone marrow aspirate and platelet-rich plasma on rhBMP-2-mediated in vivo murine posterolateral lumbar spine arthrodesis.
Determination of Pump Flow Rate During Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Obese Patients Avoiding Hemodilution
The present study attempts to evaluate the adequacy of pump flow rate in obese patients, considering the ideal weight instead of the real one, avoiding the overflow side effects and hemodilution.
The Role of the Platelet-Rich Plasma in Accelerating the Wound-Healing Process and Recovery in Patients Being Operated for Pilonidal Sinus Disease: Preliminary Results
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of platelet-derived growth factors on the healing process.
Risk Factors for Massive Blood Transfusion in Cytoreductive Surgery: A Multivariate Analysis of 243 Procedures
Our study is the first of its kind to evaluate the risk factors for intraoperative MABT in peritonectomy procedures.
Experimental Evaluation of the JenaClip Transcatheter Aortic Valve
We evaluated a self-expanding valve system with a novel mechanism of fixation in an experimental setting in an acute animal model and ex vivo in aortic root specimens.
Comparison of Gastrointestinal Complications in On-Pump Versus Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
We sought to compare the incidence of GI complications in patients undergoing on-pump and off-pump CABG.
Does the Circadian Rhythm of Melatonin Affect Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting?
Melatonin is a potent scavenger of free radicals and an antioxidant. We studied the relationship between the protective effect of melatonin against ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) during cardiopulmonary bypass, the plasma level of melatonin, and the time of surgery.
Transplantation of Embryonic Fibroblasts Treated with Platelet-Rich Plasma Induces Osteogenesis in SAMP8 Mice Monitored by Molecular Imaging
The aim of this study was to develop a cell-based bone-regeneration approach evaluated by molecular imaging and immunohistochemistry.
In Vitro Evaluation of the Ability of Platelet-Rich Plasma to Seal an iItrogenic Fetal Membrane Defect
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the ability of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to seal an iatrogenic fetal membrane defect.
Post-Arterial Filter Gaseous Microemboli Activity of Five Integral Cardiotomy Reservoirs During Venting: An In Vitro Study
During a previously published study on gaseous microemboli (GMEs) and perfusionist interventions, it was noted that emboli could be detected after the arterial filter when blood/air challenges entered the membrane oxygenator’s integral cardiotomy.
Increased Accuracy in Heparin and Protamine Administration Decreases Bleeding: A Pilot Study
The purpose of the study was to evaluate whether a heparin–protamine titration system, Hemochron RxDx, could reduce postoperative bleeding and blood transfusion.
