Recently the use of biologic materials as dura mater repair patches has been increasing. The purpose of this study is to assess the basis for efficacy and safety of using a novel fish derived acellular dermis (Kerecis Omega3 DuraTM). In an ovine model a craniotomy under general anaesthesia was performed. A defect was produced in the dural covering of approximately 1 × 2 cm and closed with an on...

The barnacle life cycle has two key stages at which eicosanoids are believed to be involved in cellular communication pathways, namely the hatching of nauplii and the settlement of cypris larvae. Barnacle egg-hatching activity has previously been reported to reside in a variety of eicosanoids, including 8-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid and a number of tri-hydroxylated polyunsaturated fatty acid d...

The bolus intravenous injection of a novel medium-chain triglyceride:fish oil emulsion (MCT:FO, 8:2, w:w) was recently found to increase within 60 min the leucocyte and platelet phospholipid content of long-chain polyunsaturated omega3 fatty acids. The present report deals with the effects of bovine milk lipoprotein lipase on the lipid composition of this emulsion. The results are compared to t...

The bolus intravenous injection of a novel 8:2 medium-chain triglyceride:fish oil emulsion was recently found to increase within 60 min and for the subsequent 24-48 h the long-chain polyunsaturated omega3 fatty acid content of both leucocyte and platelet phospholipids in 12 normal subjects. The aim of the present report is to document the hemostatic safety of such a procedure in the same 12 sub...
