Treatment of Partial Ulnar Collateral Ligament Tears in the Elbow with Platelet-Rich Plasma
The results of this study indicate that PRP is an effective option to successfully treat partial UCL tears of the elbow in athletes.
Rehabilitation of a Partially Torn Distal Triceps Tendon After Platelet Rich Plasma Injection: A Case Report
This case report presents the rehabilitation strategy used following a PRP injection for a patient with a partially torn distal triceps tendon who previously failed physical therapy interventions.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Versus Focused Shock Waves in the Treatment of Jumper’s Knee in Athletes
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections and focused extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in athletes with jumper's knee.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in Dental and Oral Surgery: from the Wound Healing to Bone Regeneration
This review suggests that the use of PRP in the alveolar socket after tooth extractions is certainly capable of improving soft tissue healing and positively influencing bone regeneration but the latter effect seems to decrease a few days after the extraction.
Development of a Cost-Effective Method for Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Preparation for Topical Wound Healing
Costs were shown to be lower than those of other methods which require specific equipment and high-cost disposables, while safety and traceability can be increased.
HGF Mediates the Anti-Inflammatory Effects of PRP on Injured Tendons
This study provides basic scientific evidence to support the use of PRP to treat injured tendons because PRP can reduce inflammation and thereby reduce the associated pain caused by high levels of PGE2.
Exercise and the Platelet Activator Calcium Chloride both Influence the Growth Factor Content of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Overlooked Biochemical Factors that Could Influence PRP Treatment
The first aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of exercise on platelet and platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF)-AB, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) concentrations in PRP. The second aim was to study the effect of the activating agent calcium chloride (CaCl2) on growth factor concentration in relation to different exercise states.
The Systemic Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection
The objective for this study is too quantify the effect of PRP injection on systemic growth factors with performance-enhancing effects and to identify molecular markers to detect treated athletes.
Development of a Cost-Effective Method for Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Preparation for Topical Wound Healing
Costs were shown to be lower than those of other methods which require specific equipment and high-cost disposables, while safety and traceability can be increased.
The Role of Transforming Growth Factor-Beta in Marfan Syndrome
The aim of this review is to review the already known features of the cellular signal transduction downstream to TGF-b and its impact on the tissue homeostasis of microfibrils, and elastic fibers.
The Combined Use of Transmyocardial Laser Revascularisation and Intramyocardial Injection of Bone-Marrow Derived Stem Cells in Patients with End-Stage Coronary Artery Disease: One Year Follow-Up
There are a growing number of patients with end-stage coronary artery disease (CAD) and refractory angina. Angiogenesis may be induced by intramyocardial injection of autologous bone marrow stem cells, intensified by inflammationaround channels performed by laser.
The Mechanisms of Cell Therapy for Clinical Investigations: An Urgent Need for Large-Animal Models
Evidence from experiments performed in animal models and from early-stage clinical trials demonstrate that the contractile performance of hearts with severe ischemic injury can be improved by transplanting a variety of cell types into the injured heart.
