BACKGROUND Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process following damage in tissue structures. Due to extensive skin damage caused by burn injuries, this study determined the role of human adult peripheral and umbilical cord blood platelet-rich plasma on proliferation and migration in human skin fibroblasts. METHODS Platelet-rich plasma (5, 10, 15, 20 and 50% PRP) from human umbilica...

background: extraction of blood genomicdnais one of the main approaches for clinical and molecular biology studies. although several methods have been developed for extraction of blood genomic dna, most of these methods consume long time and use expensive chemicals such as proteinase k and toxic organic solvent such as phenol and chloroform. the objective of this study was to developed easy and...

blood supply chain management is one of the mainchallenges in healthcare system. optimal locationof blood donation camps is one of the key factors in optimizing the bloodsupply chain. disruption in location of blood donation camps because ofdisasters will have a negative impact on the entire supply chain. thispaper develops a generalized network optimization model for the complex supplychain of...

introduction: the healing process after surgery is a challenging issue for surgeons. various materials and techniques have been developed to facilitate this process and reduce its period. fibrin adhesives are often used in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery to seal diffuse microvascular bleeding and in general and plastic surgery to seal wound borders. this case report and literature review wi...
