Treatment of Nonhealing Diabetic Lower Extremity Ulcers with Skin Graft and Autologous Platelet Gel: A Case Series
In this study, we have evaluated the safety and efficacy of the combination of autologous platelet gel (PG) and skin graft for treating large size recalcitrant ulcers.
The Effects of Platelet Gel-Released Supernatant on Human Fibroblasts
This study shows that excessively high concentrations of platelets per microliter have an inhibitory effect on the wound healing processes and are, therefore, counterproductive.
In Vitro Clearance of Intravenous Acetaminophen in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
An in vitro study was conducted to determine: (1) changes in intravenous acetaminophen levels over time and (2) changes in concentration observed between different sites of the ECMO circuit.
A Clinical Evaluation of the Maquet Quadrox-i Neonatal Oxygenator with Integrated Arterial Filter
During this evaluation, the Maquet Quadrox-i Neonatal oxygenator adequately performed within its operational flow in the clinical setting.
Retinal Vessel Abnormalities Predict Coronary Artery Diseases
The present study examines the relationship between retinal microvascular changes and angiographic findings.
Soybean Oil: A Potentially New Intravascular Perfusate
Given that micelles of lipids are colloids, the hypothesis was generated that the rapid administration of large volumes of soybean oil micelles would be an effective perfusion fluid.
Effects of Surface-Bound and Intravenously Administered Heparin on Cell-Surface Interactions: Inflammation and Coagulation
The work described here utilized human blood in a micro-perfusion circuit to experimentally examine the effects of intravenous and surface-bound heparin on cellular activation.
Successful Management of Bleeding Complications in Patients Supported with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation with Primary Respiratory Failure
ECMO bleeding complications can be managed successfully via surgical and endoscopic approaches in this high-risk population.
Is Hyperoxaemia Helping or Hurting Patients during Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation? Review of a Complex Problem
Improvements to the ECMO process have resulted in its increased utilisation.
Impact of the Intensity of Microemboli on Neurocognitive Outcome Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass
This study aimed to determine whether there was any association between the intensity of intraoperative gaseous microembolic signals (GME), neuropsychological testing and clinical outcome in high-risk patients undergoing coronary artery surgery (CABG).
Fiber-Optic Intra-Aortic Balloon Therapy and its Role within Cardiac Surgery
Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) technology offers these patients and the cardiac team an easily accessible, cost-effective, mechanical assist device.
Controlling Intrathoracic Hemorrhage on ECMO: Help from Factor VIIa and Virchow
We developed a strategy based on Virchow's triad to favor homeostasis in the patient while avoiding thrombosis in the ECMO circuit.
