Article Synopsis
  • This study compares the effectiveness of second-generation autologous platelet concentrate, Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), with first-generation Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in promoting wound healing through various biological assessments.
  • It was found that PRF contains a higher concentration of leukocytes and has a more favorable effect on macrophage polarization, which is crucial for reducing inflammation and promoting healing.
  • Additionally, PRF demonstrated superior pro-angiogenic potential, evidenced by increased neo-vessel formation and branching in vivo, making it a better option for regenerative medicine applications than PRP.

Introduction: A level of hesitancy existed among parents when United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved pediatric COVID-19 vaccines were introduced. We explored attitudes, beliefs, and willingness of health care personnel (HCP) as parents to vaccinate children less than 18 years of age.

Methods: We developed a cross-sectional survey for HCPs as parents, including clinical and nonclinical staff, researchers, and trainees at a single academic medical institution.

Free flap failure represents a substantial clinical burden. The role of intraoperative volume management remains controversial, with valid studies lacking. Here, using a large animal model, we investigated the influence of volume management on free flap perfusion and metabolism.

We report on the coherent excitation of the ultranarrow ^{1}S_{0}-^{3}P_{2} magnetic quadrupole transition in ^{88}Sr. By confining atoms in a state insensitive optical lattice, we achieve excitation fractions of 97(1)% and observe linewidths as narrow as 58(1) Hz. With Ramsey spectroscopy, we find coherence times of 14(1) ms, which can be extended to 266(36) ms using a spin-echo sequence.

Transcription is the primary regulatory step in gene expression. Divergent transcription initiation from promoters and enhancers produces stable RNAs from genes and unstable RNAs from enhancers. Nascent RNA capture and sequencing assays simultaneously measure gene and enhancer activity in cell populations.
