Polarized Arrest With Warm or Cold Adenosine/Lidocaine Blood Cardioplegia is Equivalent to Hypothermic Potassium Blood Cardioplegia
This study tested the hypothesis that elective arrest in a polarized state with adenosine (400 mumol/L via adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel opening) and the Na + channel blocker lidocaine (750 mumol/L) as the arresting agents in blood cardioplegia provides cardioprotection comparable to standard hypothermic K + -blood cardioplegia.
The Impact of Heparin Coated Circuits Upon Metabolism in Vital Organs: Effect Upon Cerebral and Renal Function During and After Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We questioned whether heparin coated circuits could also reduce cerebral and renal damage and whether inflammatory markers correlate with damage to the brain and the kidneys.
Perturbations in Laboratory Values After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The purpose of this study was to describe the sequential changes in commonly obtained laboratory values after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Plasma Leakage of Oxygenators in ECMO Depends on the Type of Oxygenator and on Patient Variables
This study was conducted to identify the causes of plasma leakage of oxygenators in extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
Effect of Platelet-Rich-Plasma on Cranial Distraction Osteogenesis in Sheep: Preliminary Clinical and Radiographic Results
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) on cranial distraction osteogenesis.
Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma With Autogenous Bone Graft for Maxillary Sinus Augmentation in a Rabbit Model
To evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on autogenous bone graft remodeling during sinus augmentation in a rabbit model.
Plasma Leakage of Oxygenators in ECMO Depends on the Type of Oxygenator and on Patient Variables
This study was conducted to identify the causes of plasma leakage of oxygenators in extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
A Reentry Study on the Use of Bovine Porous Bone Mineral, GTR, and Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Regenerative Treatment of Intrabony Defects in Humans
This study compared the clinical effectiveness of a combination therapy consisting of bovine porous bone mineral (BPBM), guided tissue regeneration (GTR), and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the regeneration of periodontal intrabony defects in humans.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Enhances Human Osteoblast-Like Cell Proliferation and Differentiation
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is widely used to promote tissue healing. However, there is no concrete evidence for the biological effects of PRP.
A Comparative Study of Root Coverage With Connective Tissue and Platelet Concentrate Grafts: 8-Month Results
The objectives of this randomized clinical trial were to assess the clinical efficacy of platelet concentrate grafts (PCG) in the treatment of Miller Class I or II buccal gingival defects and to compare their soft tissue healing with those of subepithelial connective tissue grafts (SCTG).
Augmentation of Abdominal Organ Perfusion During Cardiopulmonary Bypass With a Novel Intra-Aortic Pulsatile Catheter Pump
This study was undertaken to examine the efficiency of a novel pulsatile catheter pump on pulsatility and its effect on abdominal organ perfusion during CPB.
Hemodynamics in Off-Pump Surgery: Normal Versus Compromised Preoperative Left Ventricular Function
Since cardiocirculatory collapse could be induced by heart displacement in this group of patients at high risk, a greater pathophysiologic understanding of the hemodynamic derangements occurring in such patients is needed.
