Evaluation of Platelet Gel Characteristics Using Thrombin Produced by the Thrombin Processing Device: A Comparative Study
Autologous platelet gels can be prepared using the patient's own platelet-rich plasma and thrombin produced by the Thrombin Processing Device (Thermogenesis Corp, Rancho Cordova, CA).
Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Presentation for Datascope CS100
This presentation focuses on IABP therapy and is intended for nursing education.
Platelet Rich Plasma Basic Science (Video)
This is a video which summarizes the mechanism of action of Platelet-rich plasma.
The Effect of Different Concentrations of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Human Periodontal Ligament Cells In Vitro
To assess the effect of different concentrations of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on cell proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) in vitro.
Activation of Platelet-Rich Plasma Using Soluble Type I Collagen
In this work, our hypothesis was that soluble type I collagen would be as effective as bovine thrombin in causing clotting of the PRP and stimulating growth factor release from the platelets and granulocytes.

Is Blood Cardioplegia Superior to Crystalloid Cardioplegia?
A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether blood cardioplegia is clinically superior to crystalloid cardioplegia for myocardial protection.
Cardiopulmonary Bypass as an Adjunct for the Non-Cardiac surgeon
The use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in noncardiac surgical settings has been increasingly developed and has greatly benefited noncardiac surgeon.
Immediate Loading of the Grafted Maxillary Sinus Using Platelet Rich Plasma and Autogenous Bone: A Preliminary Study With Histologic and Histomorphometric Analysis
The goal of this clinical study was to evaluate dental implant survival rates using the concept of a nonfunctional, immediate loading protocol with nonsplinted dental implants in the grafted maxillary sinus during a 52-week period.
Orthotopic Bone Formation in Titanium Fiber Mesh Loaded With Platelet-Rich Plasma and Placed in Segmental Defects
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the bone inductive properties of PRP with titanium fiber mesh and autologous bone chips in a 15-mm rabbit radial defect model.
