Background: This single-center, randomized trial compares the hemostatic effectiveness of microfibrillar collagen and oxidized cellulose in arterial bypass surgery.
Methods: In patients undergoing arterial bypass surgery, 2 hemostats, microfibrillar collagen and oxidized cellulose, were randomly used to achieve hemostasis. The primary endpoint was the time to hemostasis. The secondary endpoints were the complication rate, mortality, number of hemostats required, handling, and adhesion.
Results: Collagen achieved hemostasis significantly faster than cellulose, with considerably less hemostats. In addition, its ease of use was rated substantially better.
Conclusion: In arterial bypass surgery, microfibrillar collagen is more effective than oxidized cellulose in achieving hemostasis.

Powdered collagen is emerging as a promising topical hemostat owing to its adaptability to various wounds, active hemostatic abilities, and biosafety. The reproduction of a bionic structure similar to natural collagen is crucial for effective hemostasis and bioactivity. Additional factors relevant to clinical application include antimicrobial properties, minimal immune response, and straightforward preparation.

Background: The incidence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks/dural tears (DT) occurring during anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) are typically relatively low. However, this frequency markedly increases when anterior corpectomy and fusion (ACF) are performed to address ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL).
Methods: The reported frequencies of CSF leaks/DT occurring during elective ACDF (i.

Collagen type VI (COL6) is an important component of the extracellular matrix (EM) and may have a major role in lung development and disease. Studies on COL6 expression during lung development are mainly based on animal models. The aim of the study was to define COL6 expression pattern in lung parenchyma in infants with different lung maturational stages.

Background: Striae distensae (SD) is a common cutaneous disorder which appears as linear lesions seen mainly in women. Since previously described in 1889, SD has presented a significant challenge regarding its evaluation and treatment. Carboxytherapy was recently reported as an effective treatment for SD.

The inevitable attrition of skin due to ultraviolet radiation, termed photoaging, can be partially restored by treatment with retinoid compounds. Photoaged skin in lightly pigmented individuals, clinically presents with the appearance of wrinkles, increased laxity, and hyper- and hypopigmentation. Underlying these visible signs of ageing are histological features such as epidermal thinning, dermal-epidermal junction flattening, solar elastosis and loss of the dermal fibrillin microfibrillar network, fibrillar collagen and glycosaminoglycans.
