BACKGROUND Low molecular weight (LMW) heparins are used for anticoagulation during hemodialysis (HD). Studies in animals have shown that LMW-heparins release lipoprotein lipase (LPL) as efficiently as unfractionated (UF) heparin, but are less able to retard hepatic uptake of the lipase. This raises a concern that the LPL system may become exhausted by LMW-heparin in patients on HD. We have expl...

carpal chip fractures are common causes of lameness in racehorses. due to disadvantages in surgical management, adjuvant treatment modalities are usually necessary. adipose-derived stem cells (adscs) have the potential to differentiate into other cell types including bone and cartilage cells. adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (svf) is produced during adscs isolation from adipose tissue....
