Platelet-Rich Plasma: Growth Factors and Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Properties
The purpose of this study was to analyze the growth factors in PRP and to study the effects of PRP on monocyte cytokine release and lipoxin A(4) (LXA(4)) generation.
A Propensity Score Analysis on the Effect of Eliminating Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
The aim of the study was to investigate if the off-pump technique could reduce the hospital mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting when compared to the standard cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) technique.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Activity on Maxillary Sinus Floor Augmentation by Autologous Bone
This work aims to evaluate the regenerative potential of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on an implant site of peculiar clinical impact, such as sinus augmentation.
The Regenerative Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Meniscal Cells In Vitro and Its In Vivo Application with Biodegradable Gelatin Hydrogel
The objective of the study was to test the hypothesis that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) enhances meniscal tissue regeneration in vitro and in vivo.
Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma at the Cellular Level on Healing of Autologous Bone-Grafted Mandibular Defects in Dogs
This study describes the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) at the cellular level on immediate autologous bone grafts in dog mandibles.
Antibacterial Effect of Autologous Platelet Gel Enriched With Growth Factors and Other Active Substances: An Invitro Study
We analysed the antibacterial effect of platelet-rich gel in vitro by using the platelet-rich plasma samples of 20 volunteers.
Retransfusion of Pericardial Blood Does Not Trigger Systemic Coagulation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We investigated to which extent retransfusion of pericardial blood triggers systemic coagulation during CPB.
Symptomatic Dry Eye Treatment with Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma
Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been proven to be very effective on tissue regeneration and wound healing. Here we investigate the potential use of PRP in the treatment of symptomatic dry eye.
Early Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Bone Healing in Combination With an Osteoconductive Material in Rat Cranial Defects
We hypothesize that PRP exerts its beneficial effect on bone regeneration within the first and second week after application in a bone defect combined with an osteoconductive material.
Mortality Associated With Aprotinin During 5 Years Following Coronary Artery Bypass
To contrast long-term all-cause mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery according to use of 2 lysine analog antifibrinolytics (aminocaproic acid and tranexamic acid), the serine protease inhibitor aprotinin, or no antibleeding agent.
Trends in Intra-Aortic Balloon Counterpulsation: Comparison of a 669 Record Australian Dataset With the Multinational Benchmark Counterpulsation Outcomes Registry
The aim of this study was to review and describe indications for intraaortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) use and identify the impact these have on outcomes at an Australian cardiothoracic tertiary referral hospital. A secondary aim was comparison of the Australian practice with a large multinational IABP data registry.
Use of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Dormant Corneal Ulcers
To investigate the potential role of autologous platelet-rich plasma in promoting healing in dormant corneal ulcers.
