OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of platelet rich plasma (PRP) against corticosteroid on the treatment of trochanteric pain syndrome . METHODS From July 2011 to November 2012, eighteen patients (20 hips) with trochanter pain syndrome were randomized in two groups and treated with platelet rich plasma or triamcinolone infiltration guided by ultrasound. Pain and function were evaluated prior t...

BACKGROUND The treatment of symptomatic partial rotator cuff tear has presented substantial challenge to orthopaedic surgeons as it can vary from conservative to surgical repair. Researches have established the influence of platelet rich plasma in healing damaged tissue. Currently very few data are available regarding the evidence of clinical and radiological outcome of partial rotator cuff tea...

Platelet aggregation inhibitory effect and anticoagulant properties of fractions separated from the venoms of Cerastes persicus fieldi and Echis carinatus were investigated. The partial fractionation was performed on a Sephadex G-100 column. Two fractions separated from Cerastes persicus fieldi showed anti platelet aggregation activity on ADP (200 µM)-induced platelet aggregation (ca 80% inhibi...

The production of inexpensive autologous canine platelet rich plasma (PRP) with no requirement for specific equipment may provide a relatively easy source of growth factors and cell-rich fractions for stimulating healing processes and regeneration. In dogs many different manual or semi-automated methods for PRP production are described achieving wide ranges of platelet concentration, but few st...

Blood transfusion centers are under considerable pressure to produce platelet concentrates with high quality and safety due to the short shelf life of 3-5 days as well as possible bacterial and viral contaminations. For a variety of reasons, many Europeans have changed their methods of component production from whole blood using the North American standard platelet-rich plasma method to the buf...

We presents results of a study on endometritis modeling in rats with double intravaginal administration bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The established endometrial inflammatory process was accompanied by decrease the weight animals, an increase uterus, neutrophilic infiltration, edema, and overexpression cyclooxygenase endometrium 30-45 days after start induction. Local use plasma enriched ...

Background. Chronic ulceration of the lower legs is a relatively common condition amongst adults: one that causes pain and social distress and results in considerable healthcare and personal costs. The technique of punch grafting offers an alternative approach to the treatment of ulcers of the lower limbs. Objective. Combining platelet-rich plasma and skin graft enhances the efficacy of treatin...

platelet aggregation inhibitory effect and anticoagulant properties of fractions separated from the venoms of cerastes persicus fieldi and echis carinatus were investigated. the partial fractionation was performed on a sephadex g-100 column. two fractions separated from cerastes persicus fieldi showed anti platelet aggregation activity on adp (200 µm)-induced platelet aggregation (ca 80% inhibi...

The formation of thrombi in vivo includes the activation of both platelets and the coagulation cascade. Conventional thrombolytic therapy is primarily directed toward the dissolution of fibrin. To evaluate the possibility that platelet activity impairs the lysis of thrombi, we studied the effects of aspirin and platelet-deaggregating prostaglandin E1 on thrombolysis with urokinase. Combined pla...
