The Biomechanics and Histological Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Fracture Healing
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) includes growth factors and proteins that accelerate and stimulate bone regeneration and tissue recovery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of PRP on fracture healing in terms of biomechanics and histology.
Cardiac Surgery in a Patient with Severe Thrombocytopenia: How Low is Too Low
We report a case of severe thrombocytopenia (19 × 10 9 /L) where coronary artery bypass grafting was performed with minimal blood loss post-operatively, discuss the patient's management and provide insights while dealing with such patients.
Does Tranexamic Acid Stop Haemoptysis
Current best evidence indicates that tranexamic acid may reduce both the duration and volume of bleeding, with low risk of short-term thromboembolic complications, in patients with haemoptysis.
Comparison of the Effects of Albumin 5%, Hydroxyethyl Starch 130/0.4 6%, and Ringer’s Lactate on Blood Loss and Coagulation after Cardiac Surgery
We randomly assigned 240 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery to receive up to 50 ml kg-1 day-1 of either HA, HES, or Ringer's lactate (RL) as the main infusion fluid perioperatively.
Prospective Clinical Trial on dosage Optimizing of Tranexamic Acid in Non-Emergency Cardiac Surgery Procedures
After withdrawal of aprotinin in 2008 only tranexamic acid (TxA, Cyclocapron, Pfitzer, Germany) remains available as antihyperfibrinolytic agent in Europe.
Combined Treatment of Ulinastatin and Tranexamic Acid Provides Beneficial Effects by Inhibiting Inflammatory and Fibrinolytic Response in Patients Undergoing Heart Valve Replacement Surgery
We investigated the effect of ulinastatin and tranexamic acid administered alone or in combination on inflammatory cytokines and fibrinolytic system in patients undergoing heart valve replacement surgery during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Population Pharmacokinetics of Tranexamic Acid in Adults Undergoing Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The objectives of this study were to investigate the population pharmacokinetics (PK) of tranexamic acid (TA) given with either low- or high-dose continuous infusion schemes in adult cardiac surgery patients during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Autologous Blood Derived Signaling Proteins for Tendon and Muscle Therapy in Sports Medicine Higher Concentration of Growth Factors and Cytokines in Orthokine VS in ACP
We compared 2 none-PRP techniques: ORTHOKINE (Oe) for Autologous Conditioned Serum (ACS) and ACP (Ax) for autologous plasma (AP)
