objective: visfatin, is a novel adipokine, and an adipose tissue-derived hormone shown to correlate with visceral fat mass in patients with obesity. it is not well known whether endurance training – induced change in adipose tissue and blood lipids decreases plasma visfatin or not; thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of 12 weeks endurance training on plasma visfatin in men...

nanosized al2o3 powder is synthesized by thermal metal organic chemical vapor deposition (mocvd)combined withplasma. the effects of reaction temperature, pressure, al(ch3)3 (tma) concentration and reactant gases (co2 and o2) on the characteristics of the synthesized al2o3 powders are investigated. the experimental results demonstrate that very fineal2o3 powders with mean particle size of about ...

in this study, a high-performance liquid chromatographic method (hplc) and uv spectrophotometric method were developed, validated and applied for the determination of theophylline in biological fluids. liquid- liquid extraction is performed for isolation of the drug and elimination of plasma and saliva interferences. urine samples were applied without any extraction. the chromatographic separat...

abstract: plasma cellmyeloma constitutes about 10% of all  hematologicmalignancies. metastatic cutaneous lesions without underlying bony involvement are rare and associated with advanced disease, poor prognosis and high tumor burden. igg is the most common subtype and igd is believed to have a more aggressive course.######

Platelet facilitation of clot lysis was studied using the dilute clot lysis assay, a standardized assay for fibrinolysis shown to correlate with the development of postoperative deep vein thrombosis. Clots prepared from dilute platelet poor plasma showed prolonged clot lysis when compared with clots prepared in a similar fashion from dilute platelet rich plasma. Since in the presence of platele...

BACKGROUND Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, has become a valuable adjunct in wound healing in dentistry. Postsurgically, blood clots initiate the healing and regeneration of hard and soft tissues. Clinicians and scientists are investigating the use of PRP in dentistry as a way to enhance the body's natural wound-healing mechanisms. TYPES OF ARTICLES REVIEWED: The authors reviewed scientific articl...

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood product with platelet concentrations above baseline values. The process involves the extraction of blood from the patient which is then centrifuged to obtain a concentrated suspension of platelets by plasmapheresis. It then undergoes a two-stage centrifugation process to separate the solid and liquid components of the anticoagulated blood. PRP o...

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been the subject of hundreds of publications in recent years. Reports of its effects in tissue, both positive and negative, have generated great interest in the orthopaedic community. Protocols for PRP preparation vary widely between authors and are often not well documented in the literature, making results difficult to compare or replicate. A classification syst...
