Processing of Stored Packed Red Blood Cells Using Autotransfusion Devices Decreases Potassium and Microaggregates: A Prospective, Randomized, Single-Blinded in Vitro Study
The aim of the study was to compare the potential of autotransfusion devices to reduce non-infectious complications related to transfusion of long-stored packed red blood cells (PRBC; n= 57), such as changes in electrolytes, blood cells and the load of free microaggregates.
Prolonged Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation-Assisted Support Provides Improved Survival in Hypothermic Patients with Cardiocirculatory Arrest
aim of this study was to evaluate whether extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-assisted resuscitation improves survival in patients with hypothermic cardiac arrest.
Platelet-Rich Plasma and Bone Healing: A Histologic Study in Titanium Bone Chambers
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of PRP on bone healing in titanium bone chambers, which represented isolated defects.
Current Opinion About Using the Platelet-Rich Gel in Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery
The aim of this article is presentation of present knowledge about properties and possibilities of using platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of soft tissue and bone healing disturbances.
Efficacy of Continuous Low-Dose hANP Administration in Patients Undergoing Emergent Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting for Acute Coronary Syndrome
In the present study, the efficacy of the therapy during emergent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is investigated.
Perfusing the Cold Brain: Optimal Neuroprotection for Aortic Surgery
We used a survival porcine model to explore the physiologic characteristics and behavioral benefits of various protocols involving hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) and SCP.
pH-Stat Blood Gas Management Provides Better Cerebral Perfusion During Deep Hypothermic Retrograde Cerebral Perfusion
We performed a retrospective comparative clinical study to evaluate whether pH-stat () or alpha-stat strategy () provides better perfusion or oxygen metabolism during hypothermic retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP).
Distraction Osteogenesis of the Lower Extremity in Patients With Achondroplasia/Hypochondroplasia Treated With Transplantation of Culture-Expanded Bone Marrow Cells and Platelet-Rich Plasma
To assess the efficacy of this cell therapy, retrospective comparative study was conducted between the bones treated with BMC and PRP and the bones treated without BMC and PRP during DO in patients with achondroplasia (ACH) and hypochondroplasia (HCH).
Platelet Dysfunction After Normothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Children: Effect of High-Dose Aprotinin
Here we investigated the effect of aprotinin on platelet function during normothermic CPB in pediatric patients.
Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia in Left Ventricular Assist Device Bridge-to-Transplant Patients
We compared outcomes of HIT-positive versus control bridge-to-transplantation VAD patients; both groups were reexposed to heparin for cardiopulmonary bypass during transplant.
Effects of pH Management During Selective Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion on Cerebral Microcirculation and Metabolism: Alpha-Stat Versus pH-Stat
We sought to determine the direct effects of pH management on cerebral microcirculation and metabolism during SCP.
Inhibition of Alveolar Oteitis in Mndibular Toth Etraction Stes Uing Patelet-Rch Plasma
