Optimizing adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction storage: Temperature and time impact on cell viability in regenerative medicine.

Background: The adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) plays a crucial role in regenerative medicine owing to its regenerative and immunomodulatory properties. However, the effective utilization of SVF in therapeutic applications requires careful consideration of storage conditions to maintain cell viability.

Methods: We conducted a research on 43 patients of different ages and sexes who were older than 18 years.

Effect of Donor Site Selection for Fat Grafting on the Yield and Viability of the Stromal Vascular Fraction.

Background: The efficacy of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) treatment, or stem cell treatment, directly depends on the SVF cell count and the cells' viability. The SVF cell count and viability are in direct correlation with the adipose tissue harvesting site that yields SVF cells, making this research a contribution to developing tissue guidance.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the importance of harvesting subcutaneous adipose tissue-derived SVF cells on the concentration and viability of SVF.

Otoplasty: a modified Chong-Chet technique with positive long-term results.

Background: In the last few decades, many techniques have been developed to correct prominent ear deformities. Modified Chong-Chet otoplasty represents a new and improved classical Chong-Chet procedure for prominent ear surgery. This study evaluates and compares the long-term results of standard Chong-Chet otoplasty with the modified technique.

Characteristics and outcomes of critically ill patients with influenza A (H1N1) in the Western Balkans during the 2019 post-pandemic season.

Background: This study looked at the characteristics and outcomes of critically ill patients with confirmed influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 infection in the Western Balkans in the post-pandemic period.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective observational study of medical records and associated data collected during the post-pandemic period included all mechanically ventilated adult patients of two university-affiliated hospitals of the Western Balkans between 1 January and 31 March 2019 who had influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 infection confirmed by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction from nasopharyngeal swab specimens and respiratory secretions.

Results: The study included 89 patients, 49 males (55.
