Ovarian reserve parameters and IVF outcomes in 510 women with poor ovarian response (POR) treated with intraovarian injection of autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP)
The aim of the current study was to characterize ovarian reserve parameters and IVF outcomes in women with a history of poor ovarian response (POR) treated with intraovarian injection of autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP). Reproductive age women (N=510; age range 30-45yo) diagnosed with POR based on Poseidon criteria were included in the study. PRP […]
The effect of the anticoagulant on the cellular composition and growth factor content of platelet-rich plasma
Background The cellular and biochemical composition of the platelet rich plasma (PRP) may impact its regenerative capacity. PRP composition have been shown to vary substantially among different separation systems and protocols. The type and the dose of anticoagulant might affect the content of PRP. Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect […]
Treatment of Resistant Chronic Central Serous Chorioretinopathy via Platelet-Rich Plasma with Electromagnetic Stimulation
Background: To evaluate whether subtenon injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with retinal electromagnetic stimulation (rEMS) is effective in therapy-resistant chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Design: Prospective, sequential. Materials & methods: The study included 22 eyes with resistant chronic CSCR. Cases receiving micropulse laser or additional photodynamic therapy, subtenon PRP, and subtenon PRP + rEMS were classified as times 1, 2 and 3, […]
Effects of ultrasound-guided platelet rich plasma injection in patients with piriformis syndrome
Background: Piriformis syndrome (PS) is the common entrapment neuropathy causing buttock pain. Patients are conventionally treated with lifestyle modification, exercise, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroid or botulinum toxin injections. However, some patients may not respond to these conventional treatment methods. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection has been shown to be beneficial in various muscular injuries, but its […]
Ultrasound-Guided Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection in a Patient with a Plantar Fascia Tear
We report the case of a 40-year-old female patient presenting with resistant heel pain attributable to plantar fascia rupture. She was treated with ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma injection, and her pain was decreased. Additionally, ultrasound was useful for diagnosis, intervention and follow-up of the patient.
Sustained release of growth factors from photoactivated platelet rich plasma (PRP)
The goal of this study is to specify the ability of polychromatic light source (PAC), providing effective wavelengths in the range of 600–1200 nm (near-infrared region, NIR), to activate human platelets in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and to achieve sustained and controlled release of growth factors from photoactivated platelets. PRP was isolated from human blood and treated with PAC […]
Management of Retinitis Pigmentosa via Platelet-Rich Plasma or Combination with Electromagnetic Stimulation: Retrospective Analysis of 1-Year Results
Purpose: To investigate whether the natural progression rate of retinitis pigmentosa can be decreased by subtenon autologous platelet-rich plasma application alone or combination with retinal electromagnetic stimulation. Methods: The study includes retrospective analysis of 60 patients with retinitis pigmentosa. Patients constitute three groups with similar demographic characteristics: the combined management group (group 1) consists of 20 patients […]
Management of Deep Retinal Capillary Ischemia by Electromagnetic Stimulation and Platelet-Rich Plasma: Preliminary Clinical Results
Introduction: To investigate the efficacy of retinal electromagnetic stimulation and sub-tenon autologous platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of deep retinal capillary ischemia. Methods: The study included 28 eyes of 17 patients aged 15-76 years (mean 37.9 years) who had deep retinal capillary ischemia. Patients who had acute-onset paracentral scotoma in the last 1 month were included in […]
Photo-activated platelet-rich plasma (PRP)-based patient-specific bio-ink for cartilage tissue engineering
Nowadays, scientists focus on the development of tissue-specific and personalized bio-ink that can be used in 3D bioprinting technologies. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a person-specific source that is used as a therapeutic adjunct for the treatment of cartilage damage because it offers a cocktail of growth factors that are necessary for wound healing and tissue […]
Comparison of platelet counts in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) obtained by two methods from dogs
Abstract: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is widely used in human medicine, but seldom used in veterinary practice. Even so, the efficacy of PRP in osteoarthritis, dental implants, bone defects and wound healing in dogs and horses is well documented. There are many commercially available PRP tubes and kits for horses and humans, but studies on the effectiveness […]
