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.
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).
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.
How Effective are Injection Treatments for Lateral Epicondylitis
We compared the effectiveness, after 3 months, of a single injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), glucocorticoid (GC), or saline in reducing pain in lateral epicondylitis.
Comparison of Two Doses of Tranexamic Acid in Adults Undergoing Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The optimal dose of tranexamic acid (TA) is still an issue. The authors compared two doses of TA during cardiac surgery in a multicenter, double-blinded, randomized study.
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).
Enhancing Intervertebral Disc Repair and Regeneration Through Biology: Platelet-Rich Plasma as an Alternative Strategy
This review describes the current understanding of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) and related biological therapeutic strategies, especially the promising prospects of PRP treatment.
Sensory Improvement of Leprosy Peripheral Neuropathy in Patients Treated with Perineural Injection of Platelet-Rich Plasma
