objectives: this study focuses on the hematological parameters change and age in radiation field workers. the study aimed to identify the effect of radiation on hematological parameters and their relation to age and duration of the experience in radiation field workers. material and methods: this study was conducted in the physiology research center in collaboration with thalassemia and hemogl...

conclusions both l-prp and l-prf could be used to effectively promote the healing of articular cartilage defects of the knee. results mean macroscopic scores of the treated defects were higher than the controls at all sampling times with significant differences (p < 0.05) observed between l-prf treated and control defects (10.13 vs. 8.37) and l-prp treated and control defects (10 vs. 8.5) at 4 ...

objective- this study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using platelet rich fibrin membrane as a novel on-lay patching biomaterial in canine esophagotomy and its effects on esophageal wound healing. design- experimental study. animals- eight adult mixed breed dogs of both sexes equally allocated to control and treatment groups. procedures- longitudinal incisions measuring 3 cm were made in t...

Introduction: Gold standard for alveolar cleft bone grafting is autogenous bone. Advantage of adding the growth factors to the bone is established, so adding PRF to the autogenous bone may have beneficial effects. Methods:  Platelet-rich plasma admixed with autogenous bone and as a biologic membrane over the bone grafted alveolar cleft was used. Results:  Autogenous bone in all (four cases...

A series of novel 2-aminopyrimidine and 2-Substituted-4,6-diaminopyrimidine derivatives have been synthesized and their anti platelet aggregation activities were assessed against ADP and arachidonic acid- induced platelet aggregation in human plasma using light transmission aggregometry. None of the compounds showed satisfactory activity against the aggregation induced by ADP. However, satisfac...

Objective: To estimate incidence of Reactive Thrombocytosis among febrile infants and assess utility of platelet count as a potential predictor and diagnostic tool of serious bacterial infection .Design:Prospective non randomized study conducted between April 2011 to March 2012Setting: Tertiary care pediatric unit.Inclusion criteria:All infants 30 to 89 days of age, admitted with rectal tempera...

  Frozen shoulder is a glenohumeral joint disorder that perturbs movement because of adhesion and the existence of fibrosis in the shoulder capsule. Platelet-rich plasma can produce collagen and growth factors, which increases stem cells and consequently enhances the healing. To date, there is no evidence regarding the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma in frozen shoulder. A 45-year-old man ...
