Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been shown to be a promising treatment for subacromial impingement, and although its interaction with aspirin (ASA) is controversial, many providers ask patients to stop non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use before PRP administration.

Purpose: This studied aimed to identify the effect of PRP in a murine model of subacromial impingement and to explore the effect of ASA on PRP treatment.

Methods: A murine model of subacromial impingement was used, incorporating 48 wild-type C57BL/6 mice.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the effects of adding insoluble fiber to the diets of broiler breeders, which are typically food-restricted until sexual maturity, to address hunger issues.
  • Ninety-six broiler breeders were divided into four dietary treatments to analyze the impact on their weight, behavior, and physiological hunger markers.
  • Results showed that while the fiber diets did lead to reduced foraging and walking behavior, they did not significantly change physiological hunger indicators compared to the commercial diet.

The wealth of allogeneic and xenogeneic tissue products available to plastic and reconstructive surgeons has allowed for the development of novel surgical solutions to challenging clinical problems, often obviating the need to inflict donor site morbidity. Allogeneic tissue used for reconstructive surgery enters the tissue industry through whole body donation or reproductive tissue donation and has been regulated by the FDA as human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps) since 1997. Tissue banks offering allogeneic tissue can also undergo voluntary regulation by the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB).

Background: The high incidence of incomplete or failed healing after rotator cuff repair (RCR) has led to an increased focus on the biologic factors that affect tendon-to-bone healing. Inflammation plays a critical role in the initial tendon-healing response. C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) is a chemokine receptor linked to the recruitment of monocytes in early inflammatory stages and is associated with an increase in pro-inflammatory macrophages.

Introduction: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) has become one of the most popular biologic treatments in orthopedic surgery. Despite this, its utilization over the last decade has not been investigated.

Methods: We conducted a search using Current Procedural Terminology codes to identify patients who received PRP injections between 2010 and 2019 using the PearlDiver database.
