Autologous Platelet Gel and Platelet-Poor Plasma Reduce Pain With Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
This study examines the effects of APG and PPP treatment on TSA patients postoperatively.
Tranexamic Acid Attenuates Inflammatory Response in Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery Through Blockade of Fibrinolysis: A Case Control Study Followed by a Randomized Double-Blind Controlled Trial
Tranexamic acid (TA) reduces fibrinolysis and blood loss after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). However, its effects on IR and vasoplegic shock (VS) are not well known and this was the main objective of this study.
Effect of Platelet Rich Plasma on Vascularization of Tissue-Engineered Bone
To study the effects of platelet rich plasma (PRP) on vascularization of tissue-engineered bone.
Antimicrobial Activity of Platelet-Leukocyte Gel Against Staphylococcus Aureus
This study investigated the antimicrobial activity of PLG against Staphylococcus aureus and the contribution of myeloperoxidase (MPO), present in leukocytes, in this process.
The Cardiotomy Trial: A Randomized, Double-Blind Study to Assess the Effect of Processing of Shed Blood During Cardiopulmonary Bypass on Transfusion and Neurocognitive Function
We sought to evaluate the effects of cardiotomy blood processing on blood product use and neurocognitive functioning after cardiac surgery.
Influence of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Bone Regeneration: A Histomorphometric Study in Rabbit Calvaria
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether local application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) would induce bone regeneration in cranial defects on rabbits.
Inhibition of Neutrophil Activity Improves Cardiac Function After Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The arterial in line application of the leukocyte inhibition module (LIM) in the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) limits overshooting leukocyte activity during cardiac surgery.
Alveolar Ridge Preservation Prior to Implant Placement With Surgical-Grade Calcium Sulfate and Platelet-Rich plasma: A Pilot Study in a Canine Model
To evaluate the combination of surgical-grade calcium sulfate (SGCS) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for alveolar ridge preservation prior to implant placement.
Continuous-Flow Cell Saver Reduces Cognitive Decline in Elderly Patients After Coronary Bypass Surgery
Processing of shed blood with cell saver before transfusion may limit cerebral microembolization and reduce cognitive decline after surgery.
Heparin, Protamine, Aminocaproic Acid, and Aprotinin: Old Problems, New Data
Dr. John Butterworth discussed problems and concerns associated with the use of heparin, protamine, Amicar, and aprotinin in cardiac surgery.
Effects of Extreme Hemodilution during Cardiac Surgery on Cognitive Function in the Elderly
Because there is uncertainty regarding the impact of hemodilution on perioperative organ function, the authors hypothesized that extreme hemodilution during cardiac surgery would increase the frequency and severity of postoperative neurocognitive deficits.
Systemic Inflammation After On-Pump and Off-Pump Coronary Bypass Surgery: A One-Month Follow-Up
This study sought to assess inflammation activation in the follow-up (up to one month) of coronary bypass surgery performed both on- (CABG) and off-pump (OPCAB).
