Cardiopulmonary Bypass, Hemolysis, and Nitroprusside-Induced Cyanide Production
Cyanide toxicity is a complication of sodium nitroprusside administration. Cardiac surgery may increase the risk of cyanide toxicity, because hemolysis during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may catalyze the release of free cyanide from sodium nitroprusside.
Study on Collagen Membrane Combinating With Autogenous Bone Marrow Stromal Cells or Platelet Rich Plasma in Repairing Alveolar Bone Defect in Dogs
To evaluate the potential of bioresorbable collagen membrane in a combination with bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) or platelet rich plasma (PRP) in repairing alveolar bone defects.
Desflurane Preconditioning in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: A Double-Blinded, Randomised and Placebo-Controlled Study
It was hypothesized that desflurane preconditioning would decrease postoperative release of troponin I and brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP).
The Healing Effects of Autologous Platelet Gel on Acute Human Skin Wounds
To compare the healing of full-thickness skin punch wounds treated with topical autologous platelet gel (APG) vs conventional therapy (antibiotic ointment and/or occlusive dressings) in healthy volunteers.
Red Blood Cell Transfusions and the Risk of ARDS Among Critically Ill: A Cohort Study
Recent data indicate that transfusion of packed red cells (pRBCs) may increase the risk for the development of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in critically ill patients. Uncertainty remains regarding the strength of this relationship.
Pharmacological Prevention of the Deleterious Effects of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
This study was designed to determine if ketoconazole or indomethacin could reduce the adverse effects of extracorporeal circulation.
Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on the Healing of Intrabony Defects Treated With an Anorganic Bovine Bone Mineral and Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene Membranes
This study aimed to clinically evaluate the effect of PRP on the healing of deep intrabony defects treated with ABBM and GTR by means of a non-resorbable expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane.
Platelet-Rich and Platelet-Poor Plasma: Development of an Animal Model to Evaluate Hemostatic Efficacy
A porcine partial-thickness skin wound model was developed to compare the hemostatic ability of these treatments with untreated control wounds.
Platelet Gel Forms and Templates
Included below is a selection of various forms and templates that should be useful to anyone interested in getting into the Platelet Gel busniess.
Contradicting the Reimbursement Myth for Non-Transfused Blood Components
Many clinicians believe that the procedure and supplies for producing and applying non-transfused blood components, including platelet gel, is not reimbursable.
Platelet-Rich Plasma: Quantification of Growth Factor Levels and the Effect on Growth and Differentiation of Rat Bone Marrow Cells
In this study, rat bone marrow cells were cultured in PRP-coated wells or in uncoated wells for 16 days in osteogenic medium, and analyzed on cell growth (DNA content) and cell differentiation (alkaline phosphatase [ALP] activity, calcium content, scanning electron microscopy, and QPCR).
