CD31+ cell transplantation promotes recovery from peripheral neuropathy
In this study, we investigated the beneficial effects of CD31+ cells on peripheral neuropathy in mice. CD31+ cells were collected from the peripheral blood using magnetic activated cell sorting. CD31+ cells exhibited higher levels of expression of angiogenic genes on real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Peripheral neuropathy was induced by crushing the sciatic nerve with a hemostat, and CD31+ cells were then injected intramuscularly along the sciatic nerve. CD31+ cell transplantation restored motor nerve conduction velocity and voltage amplitude and improved motor coordination. In addition, CD31+ cell...

All Nurses Share the Same Struggles
Working in labor and delivery is everything you think it would be. It's sweet and inspiring. It's breathtakingly beautiful and miraculous. But OB is not all about babies and banners and bubblegum shaped like cigars. Labor and delivery can be heartbreaking. It can be so gut-wrenching that we sometimes leave work with our stomach in knots and our blood pressure pounding in our ears. Sometimes we leave work so angry our hands will shake the entire way home. Sometimes we leave work so unbelievably sad our whole body feels heavy and weighed with an emotional toll that can drag even the best obstetrical nurse down. But every day...

Severe radiation esophagitis successfully treated with Ankaferd hemostat
Radiation esophagitis is an early and common adverse effect of radiation treatment. Its incidence is greater with higher radiation dose and concurrent chemotherapy. Strictures are the imminent adverse event. Currently, there is no ideal therapy to prevent stricture formation resulting from chemoradiotherapy. We have previously demonstrated the beneficial effect of Ankaferd blood stopper (ABS; Ankaferd Ilaç Kozmetik AS, Istanbul, Turkey), a recently developed hemostatic agent, in the treatment of caustic esophagitis in an experimental model.

Anaphylactic reaction with avitene: a pediatric case report.
Abstract Anaphylaxis is an unanticipated severe allergic reaction that can occur during a surgical procedure. A patient is exposed to myriad foreign substances during surgery, such as anesthetic drugs, blood products, and surgical materials, including a commonly used hemostatic agent called Avitene Microfibrillar Collagen Hemostat. Anaphylaxis is the most severe immune-mediated reaction, and it generally occurs on reexposure to a specific antigen. This case report details a case of an acute anaphylactic reaction in a 10-year-old boy presumed to be from Avitene used during a routine ear, nose, and throat surgery. T...

Photoselective Vaporesection of the Prostate with a Front-firing Lithium Triborate Laser: Surgical Technique and Experience After 215 Procedures
Conclusions PVRP is a novel technique that is effective and safe for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. This technique retains the excellent hemostatic property of LBO lasers and has a short operation time and a high tissue removal rate. The problem of the lack of postoperative tissue samples for PVP is also overcome in PVRP. Patient summary We have developed a novel technique named photoselective vaporesection of the prostate (PVRP) with a front-firing green laser. Our results show that PVRP retains the excellent hemostatic property of a green laser, but has a much shorter operation time and a higher rate of tiss...

Economic analysis of Evarrestâ,¢ compared with standard of care in Soft tissue and Hepatic Surgical Bleeding: a U.S. Hospital perspective
A recent Premier study reported that despite hemostat use, uncontrolled bleeding is prevalent across surgery types (32%-68%). Drawbacks of current hemostats include limitations with efficacy on first attempt and sub-optimal ease-of-use; thus, better hemostats are needed. A study was conducted to estimate the cost impact of a novel fibrin sealant patch (EVARREST™) versus standard of care (SoC) in soft tissue and hepatic surgical bleeding.

Black hemostatic sponge based on facile prepared cross-linked graphene
In this study, we demonstrate for the first time the remarkable hemostatic performance of a cross-linked graphene sponge (CGS) as a superb hemostat. The CGS can absorb plasma immediately (<40ms) to form a blood cell layer and promote subsequent clotting. The interaction between the interface of the CGS and blood cells reveals that the fast blood coagulation is primarily attributed to the enrichment of hemocytes and platelets on the wound surface. An in vitro dynamic whole-blood clotting test further highlights the effectiveness of the CGS. Considering the facile preparation, low cost, nontoxicity and long shelf life...

The Hugest of the Huge Hematomas
Welcome to our new series, “Guts and Gore.” That title should serve as a warning that some of the videos we will use as teaching tools may be controversial and not for weak stomachs. We hope, however, that part of why you became an emergency provider was to handle sticky situations like the ones we will present. People like us have the ability to ignore blood and copious discharge, and instead focus on saving and improving the lives of our patients. Rarely are you thanked for this ability, and we hope this series on guts and gore will improve your technique, even when the going gets tough.   The Approach n Proper iden...
