In Vitro Evaluation of the Ability of Platelet-Rich Plasma to Seal an iItrogenic Fetal Membrane Defect
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the ability of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to seal an iatrogenic fetal membrane defect.
In Vivo Lamellar Keratoplasty Using Platelet-Rich Plasma as a Bioadhesive
The use of standard sutures has been replaced by platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a bioadhesive agent, in several surgical procedures. This prompted us to test PRP efficacy in experimental lamellar keratoplasty.
Use of Autologous Platelet-rich Plasma to Treat Muscle Strain Injuries
Standard nonoperative therapy for acute muscle strains usually involves short-term rest, ice, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, but there is no clear consensus on how to accelerate recovery.
Root Coverage Using Acellular Dermal Matrix and Comparing a Aoronally Positioned Tunnel With and Without Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Pilot Study in Humans
The primary aim of this randomized, controlled, blinded clinical pilot study was to compare the percentage of recession defect coverage obtained with a coronally positioned tunnel (CPT) plus an acellular dermal matrix allograft (ADM) to that of a CPT plus ADM and platelet-rich plasma (CPT/PRP) 4 months post-surgically.
Fibroblastic Response to Treatment With Different Preparations Rich in Growth Factors
Preparations rich in growth factors (PRGF) release them plus bioactive proteins at localized sites, with the aim of triggering healing and regenerative processes.
New Idea: Healing Injuries, Arthritis With Blood (Video)
A handful of sports medicine specialists across the country have been quietly experimenting with a medication-free treatment aimed at healing injuries faster - a concentrated solution of the patient's blood.
A Promising Treatment for Athletes, in the Blood
Two of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ biggest stars, Hines Ward and Troy Polamalu, used their own blood in an innovative injury treatment before winning the Super Bowl.
The Perioperative Blood Management Technologist Exam (Video)
Jeff Riley provides a thorough overview of the PBMT Exam history, progress and implementation.
Immunohistochemical Study of Angiogenesis After Local Administration of Platelet-Rich Plasma in a Patellar Tendon Defect
A full thickness defect was made in the central portion of the patellar tendon of 48 New Zealand white rabbits. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) gel was then applied and filled the tendon defect.
Bone Regeneration with Autologous Plasma, Bone Marrow Stromal Cells, and Porous beta-Tricalcium Phosphate in Nonhuman Primates
We tested its effectiveness and investigated the effects of its components on a monkey ectopic bone formation model.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Effect on Periodontally Affected Human Gingival Fibroblasts: An in Vitro Study
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the gingival fibroblast proliferative response derived from patients with chronic and aggressive periodontitis to homologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
Autologous Platelet Concentrates for Bone Graft Enhancement in Sinus Lift Procedure
The goal of this study was to demonstrate that osteogenesis gained by mixing autologous PLT concentrates (APCs) with a small quantity of autologous bone graft could give a sufficient quality to lead to dental implant placement.
