An Orthopedic Tissue Adhesive for Targeted Delivery of Intraoperative Biologics
One emerging therapeutic trend in orthopedics is the use of intraoperative biologics (IOB), such as bone marrow (BM) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), to stimulate healing. Here, we introduce the application of the biomaterial chondroitin sulfate succinimidyl succinate (CS-NHS) to deliver IOB in a hydrogel adhesive.

Efficacy of sutureless aortic valves in minimally invasive cardiac surgery: an evolution of the srugical techniques.
Sutureless aortic valve prostheses have the potential of shortening surgical time, but if this results in improved clinical outcome remains to be determined. The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of patients undergoing conventional vs minimally invasive AVR, with either a stented or sutureless bioprosthesis.

Evaluation of Myocardial Metabolism With Microdialysis After Protection With Cold Blood or Cold Crystalloid Cardioplegia. A Porcine Model
In an acute porcine model we examined two standard cardioplegic methods. Myocardial microdialysis was used to investigate the metabolism during cardioplegic arrest and in the reperfusion period.
