The amelioration effects of ankaferd blood stopper, platelet gel, and Momordica charantia on peripheral nerve injury in the rats: a stereological and ultrastructural study.

Peripheral nerve injuries are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Peripheral nerve injuries most commonly result in serious problems affecting quality of life. The present study is designed to research the possible neuroprotective effects of Ankaferd blood stopper (ABS), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and Momordica charantia (MC) on regeneration using unbiased stereological techniques.

Detrimental Effects of Sterilization Types on Single-Use Coronary Angioplasty Catheters for Reuse: An Electron Microscopic Study.

Objective: Reuse of medical devices poses risks concerning technical issues and patient safety. In this study, we aimed to examine the structural changes in catheters that occur due to the reuse with the aid of electron microscopy.

Materials And Methods: The effects of hydrogen peroxide (HP) and ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization on four percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) catheters and control PTCA catheters were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Effects of NGF and Photobiomodulation Therapy on Crush Nerve Injury and Fracture Healing: A Stereological and Histopathological Study in an Animal Model.

Study Design: A stereological and histopathological study in an animal model.

Objective: This study explores the effects of the nerve growth factor and photobiomodulation therapy on the damaged nerve tissue and fracture healing.

Methods: A total of 24 rabbits were divided into 4 groups: control group (n = 5), nerve growth factor (NGF) group (n = 7), photobiomodulation (PBMT) group (n = 6), and nerve growth factor and photobiomodulation therapy (NGF+PBMT) group (n = 6).

Effects of methylphenidate on femoral bone growth in male rats.

The use of Methylphenidate (MP) can have adverse effects on bone growth and mineralization. This study aimed to investigate the underlying pathophysiology of MP-induced skeletal deficits in growing rats using stereological and immunohistochemical methods. Male rats, aged 4 weeks, were orally treated with MP through an 8-h/day water drinking protocol.

Effects of Combining Plasma Rich in Growth Factors with Different Bone Grafts on Early Bone Healing: An Experimental Study.

Purpose: To histologically and radiographically investigate the effect of plasma rich in growth factor (PRGF) mixed with bone grafts on ossification in the early period.

Materials And Methods: A total of 12 New Zealand male rabbits (weighing between approximately 2.5 to 3 kg) were included in this study.
