Surgical Treatment of Infrabony Defects With Autologous Platelet Concentrate or Bioabsorbable Barrier Membrane: A Prospective Case Series
The purpose of this prospective case series was to compare the treatment effects of an intralesional graft of APC to guided periodontal regeneration (GPR) using a bioabsorbable barrier membrane (MEM) over a 52-week period.
Effect of Platelet Rich Plasma and Fibrin Sealant on Facial Nerve Regeneration in a Rat Model
To investigate the effects of platelet rich plasma (PRP) and fibrin sealant (FS) on facial nerve regeneration.
Autologous Serum Therapy of the Ocular Surface With Novel Delivery by Platelet Concentrate Gel
Application of autologous serum to treat a multitude of ocular surface diseases and conditions is a relatively new technique that has gained […]
Replacing Cardiopulmonary Bypass With Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Lung Transplantation Operations
We report our experiences of replacing CPB with heparin-bonded low-dose heparin extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in LTX surgery.
Leukocyte Effects of C5a-Receptor Blockade During Simulated Extracorporeal Circulation
We hypothesized that a human C5a receptor antagonist would specifically inhibit the inflammatory response of neutrophils to simulated extracorporeal circulation, while preserving the C5b-9 pathway for innate immunity.
Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corporation Informs Health Care Professionals Of Important Safety Revisions To The Trasylol Label
Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corporation, in collaboration with the FDA, is informing health care professionals of important safety revisions to the U.S. product information for Trasylol(R) (aprotinin injection) following an FDA Advisory Committee meeting earlier this year.
Experimental Study of Platelet-Rich Plasma Optimizing Mesenchymal Stem Cells Culture
To explore a new method for in vitro expansion of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) by using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in place of fetal calf serum (FCS).
Ultrafiltration Attenuates Cardiopulmonary Bypass-Induced Acute Lung Injury in a Canine Model of Single-Lung Transplantation
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass and ultrafiltration on graft function in a canine single-lung transplantation model.
Correlation Between Cerebral and Mixed Venous Oxygen Saturation During Moderate Versus Tepid Hypothermic Hemodiluted Cardiopulmonary Bypass
This study was undertaken to compare cerebral oxygen saturation (RsO(2)) and mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO(2)) in patients undergoing moderate and tepid hypothermic hemodiluted cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Moderately Hypothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Low-Flow Antegrade Selective Cerebral Perfusion for Neonatal Aortic Arch Surgery
Although deep hypothermic circulatory arrest has been extensively used in neonates for aortic arch surgery, the brain and other organs might be adversely affected by prolonged ischemia and deep hypothermia.
Temperature During Cardiopulmonary Bypass: The Discrepancies Between Monitored Sites
We performed studies in patients to determine whether temperature recordings from sites commonly monitored during hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass adequately reflect cerebral temperature.
A New Treatment Option for Pulmonary Valvular Insufficiency: First Experiences With Implantation of a Self-Expanding Stented Valve Without Use of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We describe a novel technique with a transventricular implantation of a stented bio-prosthesis without cardiopulmonary bypass that allows for implantation of prosthesis with diameters greater than 22mm.
