Background: The role of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been widely studied, but only recently did trials emerge that probed into its potential in ankle sprains. With the limited available literature, most results showed it might have a faster healing and pain reduction. Objectives: purpose this review is to summarize studies on sprains order identify if there good initial evidence return play (...

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a powerful new biologic tool in sports medicine. PRP is a fraction of autologous whole blood containing and increased number of platelets and a wide variety of cytokines such as platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-B1), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), Insulin-like growth factor-1...

BACKGROUND Cartilage tissue has limited regenerative capacity and the management of cartilage defects has always been a challenging issue. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been recently been used to improve healing of cartilage defects. In the present experiment, we aimed to investigate the effects of PRP on regeneration capacity as well as survival of the cartilage grafts in a rabbit model. M...

Objective: The basic aim in the treatment of second-degree burns is to prevent progressive cell death, and so treatments are directed at zone stasis. In this study, We were aimed investigate healing effects using Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), Ovarian follicular fluid (OFS) Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on burn stasis an experimental model. Method: Forty rats divided randomly into four groups. Bur...

Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bioceramics such as hydroxyapatite (HA) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) are used to reconstruct mandibular defects. We sought to determine the synergistic effects of HA/ZrO2 and PRP and compare their osteogenic activity.Methods: ZrO2 scaffolds were constructed by the slurry method and were then coated with HA and impregnated by PRP/heparan sulfate (HS). Bil...

There is a lack of information about the methods used for bovine platelet-rich plasma (PRP)/platelet-rich gel (PRG) procurement, including information on platelet (PLT), white blood cell (WBC) in PRP, and growth factor release from PRG supernatants. The aims of this study were to compare and to correlate the PLT, WBC, transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1), and platelet-derived growth facto...

Background: Shoulder impingement is a common diagnosis for patients with pain and dysfunction of shoulder joint. Due to its chronicity clinical manifestation the syndrome, there need find new therapies that collaborate improve management. Methods: A hospital based descriptive, epidemiological study was conducted 150 patients. The were divided in following three groups 50 each: Platelet-rich pla...

Introduction: The amount of platelet count in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is very important for the concentration growth factors, which play a major role effectiveness PRP.
 Aim: aim this study was to investigate effects demographic and clinical parameters on number platelets Materials And Methods: data 50 patients who received PRP our stem cell center were scanned retrospectively electroni...

background: coronally advanced fl ap (caf) has been shown to effectively treat gingival recession. platelet rich plasma (prp), containing autologous growth factors, has been shown to promote soft tissue healing. the aim of this clinical study was to determine whether the addition of an autologous prp to a caf when compared to a caf alone would improve the clinical outcome for treatment of multi...

Platelets can be prepared from whole blood either using the platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) method or the buffy-coat method (BC-PC). Yet a third type of platelet component is collected using the apheresis technique. Only a few countries still produce PRP platelets with the USA remaining among those countries. For this reason, studies on PRP platelets often were published quite a long time ago. Using...
