Filter by:Knee osteoarthritis is the most common type of osteoarthritis in the lower extremity and constitutes 23% of all arthritis cases, about 13% of females and 10% of males aged above 60 years have symptomatic knee OA. Intra-articular corticosteroids (IACs) are a frequently-used treatment regimen for pain relief from symptomatic knee OA as it inhibits inflammation and reduces prostaglandin synthesis. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood product containing a high percentage of various growth factors (GFs), such as fibroblast growth factor, epidermal growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, transforming growth factor-β and platelet-derived growth factor. The aim of this study is to compare effect of intra-articular injection of platelet rich plasma versus corticosteroid in treatment of primary knee osteoarthritis.
The definition of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) is the decline of estrogens during menopause results in symptoms and clinical signs from both systems. Estrogen and other hormones production decrease after menopause because the ovaries lose their effectiveness, leading to mucosal atrophy, reduced vaginal moisture, dysuria, urgency, recurrent infection, burning, pruritus and dyspareunia. The treatment included vaginal estrogen supplement, vaginal hyaluronic acid supplement, vaginal laser, platelet rich plasma, etc. Observational cohort study will be used for study design, and questionnaire, pelvic examination, vaginal pap smear with maturation index (MI), vaginal pH, and other methods will be used for evaluation of the effectiveness and side effects.
This study aims to investigate efficacy of intralesional PRP in treatment of finer nail onychomycosis.
Photoaging is characterized by cellular changes and alterations in dermal extracellular matrix proteins with degeneration of connective tissue caused by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The clinical manifestations of photoaging included wrinkles, pigmented changes, tissue loss, and sagging. Autologous platelet-rich plasma is a preparation of platelets in concentrated plasma from peripheral blood. The α granules of platelets contained many growth factors. According to previous literature, growth factors in platelet-rich plasma directly stimulate fibroblast proliferation to boost collagen production. It has also been shown to modulate extracellular matrix metabolism and remodeling by increasing the expression of specific matrix metalloproteinases. In review of previous literatures, there was only limited researches of platelet-rich plasma for treatment of photoaging. Therefore, the present study was conducted for analyzing the efficacy and safety of autologous platelet-rich plasma in photoaging therapy.
Efficacy and Antimicrobial activity of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in Acne Vulgaris : A randomized controlled trial
The objective of this study is to evaluate the fusion rate after the use of platelet rich plasma with autolgus bone graft and comparing it with bone graft alone
