Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma for Wound and Osseous Healing: A Review of the Literature and Commercially Available Products
The authors provide here an in-depth review of commercially available systems for delivery of autologous platelet-rich plasma that emphasizes the subtle yet important differences among systems.
Whole-Body Perfusion under Moderate-Degree Hypothermia during Aortic Arch Repair
We report our operative and postoperative outcomes for cases of aortic arch replacement using whole-body perfusion during aortic reconstruction under 28 degrees C moderate hypothermia.
Hyperglycemia is a Marker for Poor Outcome in the Postoperative Pediatric Cardiac Patient
The goal of this study was to determine whether hyperglycemia in the postoperative period was associated with increased morbidity or mortality.
Treatment of Chronic Elbow Tendinosis With Buffered Platelet-Rich Plasma
Treatment of chronic severe elbow tendinosis with buffered platelet-rich plasma will reduce pain and increase function in patients considering surgery for their problem.
Intentional Replantation for a Periodontally Involved Hopeless Incisor by Using Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma
The aim of the present case is to describe the use of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in an intentional replantation procedure for a periodontally involved lower right central incisor with 18 months follow-up.
The Contribution of Platelet-Derived Growth Factor, Transforming Growth Factor-Beta1, and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I in Platelet-Rich Plasma to the Proliferation of Osteoblast-Like Cells
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the proliferation of osteoblast-like cells in vitro.
