The Effect of Platelet Rich Plasma on Intrabony Periodontal Defects
The results from this study indicate that PRP will statistically improve the amount of osseous fill and demonstrate enhanced soft tissue healing.
Atrial Fibrillation After Surgical Correction of Mitral Regurgitation in Sinus Rhythm
Postoperative AF is common after surgical correction of MR in patients with no prior history of AF and is associated with increased subsequent morbidity.
Induction and Detection of Disturbed Homeostasis in Cardiopulmonary Bypass
During cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) haemodynamic alterations, haemostasis and the inflammatory response are the main causes of homeostatic disruption.

Contamination of Anaesthetic Gases With Nitric Oxide and its Influence on Oxygenation: Study in Patients Undergoing Open Heart Surgery
Compressed air and nitrous oxide contain very low concentrations of nitric oxide (<10 ppb). This can affect pulmonary oxygen transfer during anaesthesia.
Effect of Lidocaine on Ischaemic Preconditioning in Isolated Rat Heart
Lidocaine blocks the cardioprotection induced by ischaemic preconditioning only at supratherapeutic concentrations.
ECMO After Lung Transplantation: Evolving Technique Improves Outcomes
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation results have improved with advances in oxygenator technology and surgical techniques.
Does Leucocyte Depletion During Cardiopulmonary Bypass Improve Oxygenation Indices in Patients With Mild Lung Dysfunction?
For patients with mild lung dysfunction, a leucocyte-depleting arterial line filter improves postoperative oxygenation, reduces extravascular lung water accumulation, and reduces time on artificial ventilator after CPB.
