Use of Platelet Rich Plasma in an Isolated Complete Medial Collateral Ligament Lesion in a Professional Football (Soccer) Player: A Case Report
In this report, we present a case of an elite football player, treated with multiple PRP local injections followed by rehabilitation, for a high grade MCL lesion of the knee.
Treatment of Partial Ulnar Collateral Ligament Tears in the Elbow with Platelet-Rich Plasma
The results of this study indicate that PRP is an effective option to successfully treat partial UCL tears of the elbow in athletes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A Review of Cardiac Transplantation
Perioperative anesthetic management for cardiac transplantation is reviewed.
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.
Storage Time of Red Blood Cell Concentrates and Adverse Outcomes after Cardiac Surgery: A Cohort Study
The objective of the study was to test the hypothesis that longer storage time of RBCs increases the risk of adverse outcome after cardiac surgery.
Intraoperative Cell Salvage is Associated with Reduced Postoperative Blood Loss and Transfusion Requirements in Cardiac Surgery: A Cohort Study
The use of cell salvage throughout the entire procedure reduces postoperative blood loss and allogeneic RBC transfusion.
