An Exercise-Based Physical Therapy Program for Patients with Patellar Tendinopathy after Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection
This study extensively describes, based on current knowledge, a physical therapy program after PRP injection for patellar tendinopathy patients.
Development of a Cost-Effective Method for Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Preparation for Topical Wound Healing
Costs were shown to be lower than those of other methods which require specific equipment and high-cost disposables, while safety and traceability can be increased.
Rehabilitation of a Partially Torn Distal Triceps Tendon After Platelet Rich Plasma Injection: A Case Report
This case report presents the rehabilitation strategy used following a PRP injection for a patient with a partially torn distal triceps tendon who previously failed physical therapy interventions.
Successful Replacement of a HeartAssist 5 Ventricular Assist Device with a HeartWare Without Removal of the Original Sewing/Attachment Rings: How to Do It
We present the surgical technique used to exchange the HA5 with a HeartWare (HVAD), leaving the old inflow-sewing ring in situ.
A Review of Cardiac Transplantation
Perioperative anesthetic management for cardiac transplantation is reviewed.
Does Use of Cell Saver Decrease the Inflammatory Response in Cardiac Surgery?
We hypothesized that the use of a cell saver may reduce proinflammatory cytokine concentrations in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Cardiopulmonary Bypass During a Second-Lung Implantation Improves Postoperative Oxygenation after Sequential Double-Lung Transplantation
The authors' results suggest that the use of CPB started after first graft implantation and before second recipient lung removal appears to benefit oxygenation and reduces the occurrence of severe pulmonary edema in the first transplanted lung.
Blood Loss after Cardiopulmonary Bypass, Standard vs Titrated Protamine: A Meta-Analysis
The aim of this meta-analysis was to determine whether standard or titrated dosing of protamine is more effective in facilitating haemostasis after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Effects of Red Blood Cell Transfusion on Hemodynamic Parameters: A Prospective Study in Intensive Care Unit Patients
The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion on hemodynamic parameters including transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD)-derived variables.
Emergency Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Using Minimized Versus Standard Extracorporeal Circulation–A Propensity Score Analysis
Using propensity score estimation and matching, we did not observe significant differences in terms of survival and further outcomes in patients who undergo emergency CABG with CECC or MECC, but our results call for further analysis.
Blood Transfusion in Cardiac Surgery is a Risk Factor for Increased Hospital Length of Stay in Adult Patients
RBC transfusion is an independent risk factor for increased LOS in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Impact of Minimized Extracorporeal Circulation on Outcome in Patients with Preoperative Anemia Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
In this study, the impact of the MECC on outcome of anemic patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was assessed.
