Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a powerful new biologic tool in sports medicine. PRP is a fraction of autologous whole blood containing and increased number of platelets and a wide variety of cytokines such as platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-B1), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), Insulin-like growth factor-1...

BACKGROUND Clinical studies claim that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) shortens recovery times because of its high concentration of growth factors that may enhance the tissue repair process. Most of these studies obtained PRP using different separation systems, and few analyzed the content of the PRP used as treatment. PURPOSE This study characterized the composition of single-donor PRP produced b...

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is an emerging biotechnology which uses patient's own blood components to create healing effect to their own injured tissues. This study was carried out to evaluate the clinical effects, adverse reactions and patient satisfaction after intraarticular injection of platelet rich plasma in a small group of patients with internal derangements of knee at Combined Military ...

background cleft palate (cp) is a common congenital defect. it makes serious difficulties for cleft-affected children. the gold standard of care is autogenous bone grafting which may cause additional problems in donor site along with disappointing results. tissue engineering is a promising solution for a widespread range of defects and disorders. it is reasonable to utilize this novel technolog...

background facial wrinkles develop over the natural aging process. the demand to treat these wrinkles is increasing. several treatment options are available. objectives we aimed to investigate the effect of fat injection and its combination with platelet-rich plasma (prp) on facial wrinkles. patients and methods we recruited 28 patients who were candidates for the treatment of facial wrinkles i...

Sesamoid fractures result in significant pain and poor biomechanics, which can ultimately hinder athletic performance delay return to sport. Current literature describes the utility of platelet rich plasma (PRP) treating various musculoskeletal injuries, but there is minimal data regarding its application sesamoid pathology.

Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) consists of cytokines, growth factors, chemokines, and a fibrin scaffold derived from the patient’s blood. The mechanism of action for PRP gel is considered to be the molecular and cellular induction of normal wound healing responses similar to that seen with platelet activation.[1,2] There are multiple indications of PRP therapy, but there are few controll...

OBJECTIVE This study is to report a manual method to obtain platelet rich plasma (PRP). METHODS For this study 61 ml of peripheral blood was obtained and submitted to centrifugation at 541g for 5 min. The centrifugation separates the blood into three components: red blood cells, buffy coat and platelet rich plasma. Blood and platelet rich plasma samples were sent to the Hospital's Laboratory ...

Platelet Rich Plasma contains a major Growth factor and has adhesive healing properties. PRP promotes angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, wound healing. The main aim of this study is to compare the efficacy SSG fixation using autologous platelet-rich plasma with conventional method like suturing. In study, patients who were admitted diagnosis ”ulcer” in General Surgery department SRM medical coll...
