Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Inhibits Demineralized Bone Matrix-Induced Intramuscular Cartilage and Bone Formation. A Study of Immunocompromised Mice
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of PDGF on the ability of human demineralized bone matrix to induce bone formation in a nude-mouse muscle-implantation model.
Diabetes in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Impact on Perioperative Outcome
Diabetes mellitus is an established risk factor related to significant morbidity and mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting.
The Geat Britain and Ireland Perspective: Current Perfusion Safety Issues, Preparing for the Future
This paper focuses on the importance of careful assessment, implementation and documentation when a new component or technique is being introduced to the CPB circuit, even when the aim is to increase safety.

Randomized Comparison Between Normothermic and Hypothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Pediatric Open-Heart Surgery
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) temperature on myocardial reperfusion injury, oxidative stress, and inflammatory response in pediatric open heart surgery.
Clinical Evaluation of the Sorin Synthesis Oxygenator With Integrated Arterial Filter
Sorin Biomedica has designed an adult hollow-fiber oxygenator that not only incorporates their Mimesys biomimicry coating technology but also has a 40-micron arterial filter as an integrated component of this unique membrane oxygenator.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Influence on Human Osteoblasts Growth
The influence of progressively high concentrations of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on human osteoblast hFOB1.19 proliferation was evaluated.
The Impact of Slow Rewarming on Inotropy, Tissue Metabolism, and “After Drop” of Body Temperature in Pediatric Patients
Therefore, this study was performed to build a rewarming strategy aiming to improve the cardiac performance, minimize the early after-drop in both core and foot temperatures, and to achieve early achievement of homeostasis.
In Vitro Validation of the Affinity NT Oxygenator Arterial Outlet Temperatures
The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of the arterial outlet temperature probe on the "Affinity NT" membrane oxygenator in measuring perfusate temperatures.
Can Lean Body Mass Be Used to Reduce the Dose of Heparin and Protamine for Obese Patients Undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass?
This study used bio-electrical impedance analysis as a simple, quick, and accurate method of calculating LBM.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Influence on Human Osteoblasts Growth
The influence of progressively high concentrations of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on human osteoblast hFOB1.19 proliferation was evaluated.
Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Conscious Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
This study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of thoracic epidural anesthesia as an alternative technique to general anesthesia in patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass.
