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 ...

INTRODUCTION Peripheral arterial disease is a severe manifestation of atherosclerosis that can lead to critical ischemia of the lower limbs and is also associated with high cardiovascular risk. Diagonal lobular and anterior tragal ear creases have been associated with coronary artery disease, but they have not yet been investigated in patients with peripheral arterial disease. OBJECTIVES To e...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine which of the three positions on the tragus, (superior, middle, inferior) when joined with the ala of the nose for the ala-tragal line was most parallel to the natural occlusal plane in dentate patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study was carried out on 500 individuals, selected randomly and who agreed to participate in the study. A custom-ma...

objective (s): the scarcity of articular cartilage defect to repair due to absence of blood vessels and tissue engineering is one of the promising approaches for cartilage regeneration. the objective of this study was to prepare an extracellular matrix derived decellularized bovine articular cartilage scaffold and investigate its interactions with seeded rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (...
