Autologous Serum Therapy of the Ocular Surface With Novel Delivery by Platelet Concentrate Gel
Application of autologous serum to treat a multitude of ocular surface diseases and conditions is a relatively new technique that has gained […]
Experimental Study of Platelet-Rich Plasma Optimizing Mesenchymal Stem Cells Culture
To explore a new method for in vitro expansion of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) by using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in place of fetal calf serum (FCS).
Correlation Between Cerebral and Mixed Venous Oxygen Saturation During Moderate Versus Tepid Hypothermic Hemodiluted Cardiopulmonary Bypass
This study was undertaken to compare cerebral oxygen saturation (RsO(2)) and mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO(2)) in patients undergoing moderate and tepid hypothermic hemodiluted cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Ultrafiltration Attenuates Cardiopulmonary Bypass-Induced Acute Lung Injury in a Canine Model of Single-Lung Transplantation
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass and ultrafiltration on graft function in a canine single-lung transplantation model.
Moderately Hypothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Low-Flow Antegrade Selective Cerebral Perfusion for Neonatal Aortic Arch Surgery
Although deep hypothermic circulatory arrest has been extensively used in neonates for aortic arch surgery, the brain and other organs might be adversely affected by prolonged ischemia and deep hypothermia.
Australian and New Zealand Perfusion Survey: Equipment and Monitoring
Our aims were to report current practice in 2003 and to compare and contrast current practice with historic practice.
Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery is Standard of Care: Where Do You Stand?
several large, nonrandomized retrospective case series. The studies demonstrated that CABG can be performed safely without CPB (off-pump surgery), and suggested that there are benefits compared with conventional CABG. However, the randomized controlled studies published to date have been, as a whole, unable to conclusively demonstrate advantages of off-pump CABG.
A New Treatment Option for Pulmonary Valvular Insufficiency: First Experiences With Implantation of a Self-Expanding Stented Valve Without Use of Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We describe a novel technique with a transventricular implantation of a stented bio-prosthesis without cardiopulmonary bypass that allows for implantation of prosthesis with diameters greater than 22mm.
Intervertebral Disc Regeneration Using Platelet-Rich Plasma and Biodegradable Gelatin Hydrogel Microspheres
This study evaluated the regenerative effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the degenerated intervertebral disc (IVD) in vivo.
Modified CPB Circuit for Postoperative Rescue of High-Risk Patients Following Cardiac Repair: Are We Keeping Safe?
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is commonly used to treat postcardiotomy cardiopulmonary dysfunction in small children.
Temperature During Cardiopulmonary Bypass: The Discrepancies Between Monitored Sites
We performed studies in patients to determine whether temperature recordings from sites commonly monitored during hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass adequately reflect cerebral temperature.
Quantification of Perfusion Modes in Terms of Surplus Hemodynamic Energy Levels in a Simulated Pediatric CPB Model
The objective of this investigation was to compare pulsatile versus nonpulsatile perfusion modes in terms of surplus hemodynamic energy (SHE) levels during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in a simulated neonatal model.
