Purpose: Herein we evaluated the effects of platelet concentrate (PC) and platelet-poor plasma (PPP) on bone repair using noncritical defects in the calvaria of rabbits and compared them to the presence of TGF-β1 and osteocalcin on reparative sites.
Methods: Five noncritical defects of 8.7 mm in diameter were created on the calvaria of 15 animals.
Introduction: Sleep quality may be impaired in systemic scleroderma (SSc) patients and contribute to loss of life quality.
Aim: The aims of this study were to study the prevalence of sleep disturbance in SSc patients and its possible association with epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data, treatment used, and depression, and to verify the association of sleep disturbance and quality of life in this group of patients.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study including 60 SSc patients.
