The Effect of Subconjunctival Platelet-Rich Plasma on Corneal Epithelial Wound Healing
Single-dose subconjunctival platelet-rich plasma (sPRP) injections with or without antibiotic treatment were investigated for their effect on corneal epithelial wound healing in a rabbit model.
Evaluation of Buffy Coat Prepared Using the Thermogenesis Res-Q60 From BMA and Whole Blood (Video)
Vijay Kumar discusses the quality of the BMC and PRP prepared using the Res-Q60 System from Thermogenesis Corporation (23 minutes).
Application of Autologous Derived-Platelet Rich Plasma Gel in the Treatment of Chronic Wound Ulcer: Diabetic Foot Ulcer
The treatment of chronic wounds remains problematic, despite new insight into the cellular and molecular basis of wound healing. Although the aetio-pathogenesis of chronic wounds is said to be multi-factorial, it is evident from literature that effective and adequate wound debridement has produced the most consistent effect in chronic wound treatment.
Gelatin and Thrombin-Based Hemostatic Agents (Video)
Shane Donovan and Jill Macoy discuss thormbin and gelatin-based hemostatic agents (12 minutes).
Perfusionist-Guided Technologies Reduce Blood Utilization and Cost of Cardiac Surgery (Video)
Dr. Russell Stahl discusses the ways perfusionists can have a positive impact on blood utilization and healthcare cost in cardiac surgery (22 minutes).
Comparison of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Grafts With and Without Autologous Platelet-Derived Growth Factors
To determine whether the use of platelet-rich plasma gel (PRPG) affects magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft during the first year after reconstruction.
The Use of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Arthroscopy and Sports Medicine: Optimizing the Healing Environment
Future directions of PRP include improving the results of arthroscopic and related surgery, in addition to delineating correct dosage, timing, and quantification, as well as ideal techniques of PRP application.
The Influence of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Angiogenesis During the Early Phase of Tendon Healing
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) on angiogenesis during tendon healing.
Treating Sports Injuries With Platelet-Rich Plasma (Video)
John Rivera provides a little history on PRP and discusses clincal applications in sports medicine (55 minutes).
Platelet-rich Plasma: Current Concepts and Application in Sports Medicine
Many controlled clinical trials are under way, but clinical use should be approached cautiously until high-level clinical evidence supporting platelet-rich plasma efficacy is available.
Platelet-Rich Plasma: Intra-Articular Knee Injections Produced Favorable Results on Degenerative Cartilage Lesions
