conclusions helicobacter pylori infection has a significant effect on platelet count in patients with citp and h. pylori eradication therapy should be considered as an important factor in platelet count recovery in citp patients. results from a total of 23 patients with citp, 43% (10) of the cases were h. pylori positive and after eradication therapy, eight patients (80%) were successfully trea...

 Background: Myocardial infarction is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries. Platelet count and the mean platelet volume (MPV), a simple and reliable indicator of platelet size which correlates with platelet activation, might associate with troponin in acute chest pain. Methods: We analyzed MPV of 851 patients who were admitted to Rasoul-e-Akram Hospital with ac...

introduction intra-articular injections of platelet rich plasma (prp) for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis have been shown to reduce pain and improve joint function. the aim of this study is to examine the joint function by adding intra-articular growth hormone to platelet rich plasma. this study was performed on the individuals with knee osteoarthritis and under ultrasound guidance. conclu...

objectives: platelets are anucleated fragments derived from megakaryocytes. it has been demonstrated that platelets play a role in hemostasis and innate immunity. in addition, platelets have a cd40 ligand which is an important molecular marker in motivating immune cells. thus, platelets also have a role in adaptive immunity as seen by their ability to activate b cells. since human platelet micr...

background: plantar fasciitis (pf) is a common foot complaint, affects both active sportsmen and physically inactive middle age group. it is believed that pf results from degenerative changes rather than inflammation. platelet?rich plasma (prp) therapy has been introduced as an alternative therapy for pf. this study is aimed to systematically review to the effectiveness and relevant factors of ...

Abstract Introduction Platelet aggregation plays a significant role in the etiology of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, treatments to inhibit platelet aggregation can reduce the risk of coronary thrombosis. Several studies indicated that garlic can inhibit platelet aggregation. This study aimed to determine the effect of garlic in comparison with Plavix on platelet aggregation. Materials ...
