Evaluation of the Effects of Homologous Platelet Gel on Healing Lower Extremity Wounds in Patients with Diabetes
Our data indicated that homologous PG was effective for the enhancement and acceleration of diabetic lower extremity wounds healing. We propose that homologous PG appeared to enhance vascularization and epithelialization, which might induce a quicker healing process and and encourage controlled studies in future.
MEDTRONIC ANNOUNCES FDA CLEARANCE AND FIRST USES OF NEW OXYGENATION SYSTEM FOR ADULT CARDIAC SURGERY
New System Designed for Patient Safety, Ease of Use During Open-Heart Procedures
To Evaluate the Effect of Combining Photo-Activation Therapy with Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections for the Novel Treatment of Osteoarthritis
We present a case report of osteoarthritis of the knee treated with photo-activated platelet-rich plasma injections (PAPRP).
Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 on Suture Distraction Osteogenesis
The aim of the present study was to verify the effect of PRP and its combination with rhBMP-2 as a controlled delivery system during sagittal suture distraction osteogenesis.
Formulation and Storage of Platelet-Rich Plasma Homemade Product
The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous biotherapy based on platelet-healing properties. Here, we developed a simple and reproducible PRP purification protocol based on two successive centrifugations.
Platelet Concentrates, from Whole Blood or Collected by Apheresis
The quality and characteristics of platelets during storage are affected by a number of factors, such as anticoagulant, centrifugation and processing after collection, and pre- or post storage pooling, but when comparing literature on the various methods, most differences balance out.
A Simple Method for Occlusion of both Venae Cavae in Total Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Robotic Surgery
We describe a novel surgical technique for occlusion of the superior and inferior venae cavae which allows opening of the right atrium safely during robotic cardiac surgery.
Air Transfer of Patients with Intraaortic Balloon Pump Support: Swiss Experience and Recommendations
The aim of the present study was to review the first 38 IABP transfers and to promulgate the currently used standard operating procedure (SOP).
Avoiding the Clamp during Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Reduces Cerebral Embolic Events: Results of a Prospective Randomized Trial
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a clampless facilitating device (CFD) to perform proximal aortocoronary anastomoses would result in a lower incidence of cerebral embolic events compared with a partial clamping strategy during off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB).
Is Time on Cardiopulmonary Bypass during Cardiac Surgery Associated with Acute Kidney Injury Requiring Dialysis?
We investigated the relationship between CPB duration and ARF-D occurrence.
In vitro Analysis of Cell Salvage Blood Collection with a Laparoscopic Suction Device
To determine whether cell salvage blood collection with a laparoscopic suction device is inferior to use of a traditional Yankauer suction device
