Stromal Cells from the Adipose Tissue-Derived Stromal Vascular Fraction and Culture Expanded AdiposeTissue-Derived Stromal/Stem Cells: A Joint Statement of the International Federation for Adipose Therapeutics (IFATS) and Science and the International So
The goal of this paper is to provide initial guidance for the scientific community working with adipose-derived cells and to facilitate development of international standards based on reproducible parameters.
Outcomes of Less Invasive J-Incision Approach to Aortic Valve Surgery
Within that portion of the spectrum of isolated aortic valve surgery where propensity matching was possible, minimally invasive aortic valve surgery had not only cosmetic advantages, but blood product use, respiratory, pain, and resource utilization advantages over full sternotomy, and no apparent detriments.
Noise Levels in Modern Operating Rooms During Surgery
This study consistently showed that noise in the operating room is louder during the critical anesthesia components of the case.
Decreased Erythrocyte Deformability After Transfusion and the Effects of Erythrocyte Storage Duration
The findings demonstrate that increased duration of erythrocyte storage is associated with decreased cell membrane deformability and that these changes are not readily reversible after transfusion.
Establishing proof of concept: Platelet-Rich Plasma and Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate may Improve Cartilage Repair Following Surgical Treatment for Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus
The basic science literature therefore establishes the proof of concept that biological adjuncts may improve cartilage repair when used in conjunction with reparative and replacement treatment strategies for osteochondral lesions of the talus.
Regenerate Augmentation with Bone Marrow Concentrate after Traumatic Bone Loss
The aim of this feasibility study was to investigate the potential of bone marrow aspiration concentrate (BMAC) for percutaneous regenerate augmentation to accelerate bony consolidation of the regenerate.
In Vivo Comparison of the Bone Regeneration Capability of Human Bone Marrow Concentrates vs. Platelet-Rich Plasma
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of human BMAC and PRP in combination with β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) on promoting initial bone augmentation in an immunodeficient mouse model.
Platelet Rich Plasma. A New Treatment Tool for the Rheumatologist
In the following review we will analyze in detail its principles, preparation, and management regimes. We will reflect on potential adverse effects and, finally, there will be a critical analysis of the scientific evidence that supports its potential use in the rheumatology clinic.
Unique Antimicrobial Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Its Efficacy as a Prophylaxis to Prevent Implant-Associated Spinal Infection
Compared to the infection controls, PRP treatment results in significant reduction in bacterial colonies in bone samples at all time points studied (i.e. 1, 2, and 3 weeks) and significant increase in mineralized tissues (thereby better bone healing) at postoperative weeks 2 and 3.PRP therefore may be a useful adjunct strategy against postoperative implant-associated infections.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Versus Focused Shock Waves in the Treatment of Jumper’s Knee in Athletes
Therapeutic injections of PRP lead to better midterm clinical results compared with focused ESWT in the treatment of jumper's knee in athletes.
Outcomes after Ultrasound-Guided Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections for Chronic Tendinopathy: A Multicenter, Retrospective Review
In this retrospective study, in which we evaluated administration of PRP for chronic tendinopathy, we found that the majority of patients reported a moderate (>50%) improvement in pain symptoms.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Application in the Management of Chronic Tendinopathies
Platelets release various cytokines and growth factors which promote angiogenesis, tissue remodeling, and wound healing. We made an extended literature review of the use of PRP in chronic tendinopathies: epicondylitis, rotator cuff, patellar and calcaneal tendinopathies, and plantar fasciitis.
