International Variation in the Use of Blood Transfusion in Patients With Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes
The purpose of this study was to determine international patterns of blood transfusion in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Percutaneous Intervention on the Saphenous Vein Bypass Grafts-Long-Term Outcomes
The objective of the study was to compare the long-term outcomes of DES versus bare metal stent (BMS) in this population and to determine the predictors of outcomes.
Three-Dimensional Numerical Simulation of Blood Flow in the Aortic Arch During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
To better understand the mechanism of stroke during cardiopulmonary bypass, it is necessary to obtain information on the location of turbulence, wall pressure, and flow distribution within the aortic arch.
Inflammatory and Hemostatic Activation in Patients Undergoing Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Off-pump surgery may place patients at higher risk of postoperative hypercoagulability because of normal platelet function, intraoperative thrombin generation, less fibrinolytic activity, and lack of vascular protection.
Results of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of the Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery in 143 Patients and Comparison of 30-Day Mortality to Results of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) is controversial.
Utility of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Growth Factors Bone in the Bone Defects
We present the results obtained with the use of platelet-rich plasma and a hydroxyapatite and bovine collagen graft in the management of bone defects.

The Effect of Preprocessing Stored Red Blood Cells on Neonates Undergoing Corrective Cardiac Surgery
This study compared the effect of unprocessed and processed packed red blood cells (PRBCs) with the continuous autotransfusion system (CATS) during neonate heart surgery.
Cerebral Air Emboli Differentially Alter Outcome After Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Rats Compared With Normal Circulation
This study was designed to investigate the effect of escalating volumes of CAE on survival and neurologic and histologic outcomes. In addition, the effect of xenon administration during CAE on these outcomes was determined.
Early Experience and Results of Bone Graft Enriched With Autologous Platelet Gel for Recalcitrant Nonunions of Lower Extremity
The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility and outcome of surgical treatment in recalcitrant nonunions of a lower extremity with bone graft enriched with autologous platelet gel (APG).
Periodontal Tissue Regeneration with Adipose-Derived Stem Cells
In this study, we sought to determine whether adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) can promote periodontal tissue regeneration as well. ASCs were isolated from a Wistar rat, passaged twice, mixed with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) obtained from inbred rats, and implanted into the periodontal tissue defect that had been generated in the test rats.
Adrenomedullin Blood Concentrations in Infants Subjected to Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Correlation with Monitoring Parameters and Prediction of Poor Neurological Outcome
We evaluated whether cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) affects cerebrovascular resistance and plasma concentrations of adrenomedullin (AM), a vasoactive peptide regulating cerebral blood flow.
