Is platelet-rich plasma a new solution for shoulder adhesive capsulitis? A systematic scoping review of the literature.

Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has shown promising results for adhesive shoulder capsulitis (AC) in pre-clinical models. The aim of this review is to investigate the clinical outcomes of using PRP in AC.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a systematic scoping review of the literature using bibliographic databases from inception until the 9 of January 2022 [PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and CENTRAL].

Initial neurocritical care of severe traumatic brain injury: New paradigms and old challenges.

Background: Early neurocritical care aims to ameliorate secondary traumatic brain injury (TBI) and improve neural salvage. Increased engagement of neurosurgeons in neurocritical care is warranted as daily briefings between the intensivist and the neurosurgeon are considered a quality indicator for TBI care. Hence, neurosurgeons should be aware of the latest evidence in the neurocritical care of severe TBI (sTBI).

Controversies and evidence gaps in the early management of severe traumatic brain injury: back to the ABCs.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) accounts for around 30% of all trauma-related deaths. Over the past 40 years, TBI has remained a major cause of mortality after trauma. The primary injury caused by the injurious mechanical force leads to irreversible damage to brain tissue.
