2005 Perfusion Salary and Benefits Survey Results
This is our fourth effort to provide the perfusion community with information regarding our jobs, benefits, and remuneration.
A New Treatment Strategy for Advanced Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonia: Living-Donor Lobar Lung Transplantation
To analyze the effect of living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT) for patients with advanced IIP including those receiving high-dose systemic corticosteroids.
Aprotinin Preserves Cellular Junctions and Reduces Myocardial Edema After Regional Ischemia and Cardioplegic Arrest
Aprotinin has been demonstrated to prevent activation of the thrombin protease-activated receptor, and we hypothesized that aprotinin preserves myocardial cellular junctions and prevents myocardial edema in a porcine model of regional ischemia and cardioplegic arrest.
Outcome of Lung Transplantation for Patients Requiring Concomitant Cardiac Curgery
The effect of cardiopulmonary bypass on the pulmonary allograft is controversial, and the effect of cardiac arrest and cardiac surgery in this setting is unknown. Our aim was to review the operative results and long-term survival in this group of patients.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Provides Nucleus for Minerilization in Cultures of Partially Differentiated Periodontal Ligament Cells
We have now examined the effects of PRP on in vitro mineralization.
Experimental Studies on Artificial Blood Usage for Hemodilution during Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a novel perfluoro-octyl bromide (PFOB) emulsion, one of perfluorochemicals (PFCs) emulsions, administered during hemodilution CPB.
Effects of Pulsatile CPB on Interleukin-8 and Endothelin-1 Levels
In the present study, pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was investigated in terms of the effects on cytokines, endothelin, catecholamine, and pulmonary and renal functions.
Perioperative Monitoring of Primary and Secondary Hemostasis in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
To evaluate the PFA performance in perioperative monitoring, a study was performed in 49 patients selected for low bleeding risk undergoing selective primary coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Effects of Autotransfusion of Mediastinal Shed Blood on Biochemical Markers of Myocardial Damage in Coronary Surgery
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of autotransfusion of mediastinal shed blood on the serum levels of CK-MB, cardiac troponin T (cTnT), and H-FABP after uncomplicated primary CABG.
The Effects of Aprotinin and Tranexamic Acid on Thrombin Generation and Fibrinolytic Response After Cardiac Surgery
The aim of the study was to examine the effects of aprotinin and tranexamic acid on thrombin generation and fibrinolytic activity in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
