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.
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.
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.
Augmentation Techniques for Isolated Meniscal Tears
This article discusses various augmentation techniques for meniscal repair and reviews the current literature with regard to fibrin clot, platelet rich plasma, proinflammatory cytokines, and application of growth factors.
Regeneration of Dental Pulp Tissue in Immature Teeth with Apical Periodontitis Using Platelet-Rich Plasma and Dental Pulp Cells
We investigated the new tissues growing into the pulp space of immature dog teeth that were infected, disinfected and filled with blood clot (BC), dental pulp cells (DPCs), platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or a combination of DPCs and PRP in immature dog teeth with apical periodontitis.
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
Porcine Bioprosthetic Valve in the Pulmonary Position: Mid-Term Results in the Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Reconstruction
Pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) for pulmonary valve insufficiency (PVI) currently represents the most frequent reoperation performed for adults with congenital heart disease.
A Practical Tranexamic Acid Dosing Scheme Based on Population Pharmacokinetics in Children Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
The authors' objectives were thus to investigate the population pharmacokinetics of TA in pediatric cardiac surgery patients during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
