intraplatelet phospho-vasp analysis is a commonly used approach for monitoring of anti-platelet therapy; however, testing of intraplatelet phospho-vasp expression needs a high level of experience and proficiency. the ability to recognize how the pre-analytical variations can change the results would be helpful for the interpretation of data from intraplatelet p-vasp analysis. the aim of this st...

BACKGROUND Thrombin generation assay was developed several years ago to mimic physiological coagulation mechanisms but it had important limitations. Thrombogram-Thrombinoscope assay using a fluorogenic substrate, allows obtaining thrombin generation curves in non-defibrinated platelet rich plasma (PRP) in a fully automated manner. METHODS We standardised the methodology of Thrombogram-Thrombi...

Autologous plasma began to be studied in the 90's, mainly because its adhesive and angiogenic properties and the presence of growth factors of platelet origin. In fact, plasma can be isolated from autologous manner, from the patient's own blood and obtained in its two parts: a high concentration of platelets (platelet-rich plasma - PRP) and one with low concentration of platelets (platelet-poor...

Background Recently, the clinical use of low power lasers has increased, and it is said that wound healing is accelerated by their irradiation. The aim of this study was evaluation of the effect of platelet-rich plasma on proliferation and differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells with or without Ga-Al-As laser. Methods: In this experimental study, human lower third molar dental pulp c...

Intraplatelet phospho-VASP analysis is a commonly used approach for monitoring of anti-platelet therapy; however, testing of intraplatelet phospho-VASP expression needs a high level of experience and proficiency. The ability to recognize how the pre-analytical variations can change the results would be helpful for the interpretation of data from intraplatelet P-VASP analysis. The aim of this st...

The recovery of patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) can be adversely affected by a number of complications. Autologous platelet gel (APG), produced by activating platelet-rich plasma (PRP), has been shown to improve hemostasis and wound healing and reduce infections in some surgical procedures. Activated platelet-poor plasma (PPP) has also been used as a hemostatic agent. This...

Background: With the increase in life expectancy, middle aged and elderly people comprise a substantial percentage of the population worldwide. Since aging often manifests itself in the human skin, skin rejuvenation methods have gained a lot of popularity. Current medical modalities such as botulinum toxininjection, fillers, and laser therapy can provide symptomatic relief of skin aging s...
