Autologous fat transfer offers many qualities of a ideal soft tissue filler. Main advantages of fat grafting ensue from the fact that the lipoaspirate tissue is an abundant source of regenerative pluripotential cells. However, the reported rates of fat cell survival vary greatly in the medical literature (10-90%). Different techniques of harvesting, processing, and reinjecting the fat cells are...

this article describes coronary artery bypass grafting by avlliath jay akrishnan et al. one of the most common reason for coronary artery bypass grafting is narrowing coronary arteries because of atherosclerosis. atherosclerosis causes chest pain (angina pectoris), myocardial infarction and sudden death. the aim of coronary artery bypass grafting is to release pain, prevention of myocardial inf...

Grafting-from ATRP protocols using fluoropolymers as substrates are very often used. Actual positive proof that is the mechanism at work in grafting or occurred all scarce. This perspective article gives an overview of most relevant examples such well possible other mechanisms grafting.

  Context: In recent years, nanotechnology has opened up several new avenues of extraordinary biomedical potential by modulating metals into their nanosize leading to significant improvement in their chemical, physical and optical properties. Introduction: <span style="color...

BACKGROUND Fertility preservation has become an urgent clinical requisite for prepubertal male cancer patients undergoing gonadotoxic treatment. As these patients do not yet produce spermatozoa for freezing, only immature tissue is available for storage. We studied the survival and proliferative activity of spermatogonia and Sertoli cells after cryopreservation of cryptorchid testicular tissue ...

BACKGROUND Autologous adult stem cell transplantation has been touted as the latest tool in regenerative medical therapy. Its potential for use in cardiovascular disease has only recently been recognized. A randomized study was conducted with a novel epicardial technique to deploy stem cells as an adjuvant to conventional revascularization therapy in patients with congestive heart failure. ME...

BACKGROUND Various research groups have attempted to grow fresh, histologically intact human prostate cancer tissues in immunodeficient mice. Unfortunately, grafting of such tissues to the sub-cutaneous compartment was found to be associated with low engraftment rates. Furthermore, xenografts could only be established using high-grade, advanced stage, but not low- or moderate-grade prostate can...

Giant cell tumours are uncommon benign osseous neoplasias with an obscure origin. They mostly occur in the epiphyses of long bones after skeletal maturity. Occurrence in a metatarsal bone in a child less than 10 years old is quite exceptional. The authors report a case of a 7-year-old girl with an aggressive giant cell tumour of the first metatarsal bone of her right foot. Intralesional excisio...
