The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been studied in bone-related applications for accelerating healing, and the proliferation and regeneration of tissue. Now the dermatological indications increase rapidly in recent years. We have reviewed clinical trials, comparative trials, and meta-analysis of PRP on dermatology through key words and reorganized them into facial rejuvenation, hair, scar, vitiligo, and synergistic effect with fractional CO , with a conclusion that PRP has significant improvements in dermatology. But the lack of RCTs and the limit of samples cannot provide sufficient enough evidence for general clinical applications. More RCTs are needed for the increasing demand of new dermatologic therapeutics, and we need adequate samples urgently to make the results more persuasive.

Osteoarthritis is a major health problem due to its high prevalence. It is a very common cause of consultation in both primary care and hospitals, implying a high care burden and health costs. Current treatment recommendations are based on a conservative approach, based mainly on physical exercise and ultimately on prosthetic surgery.

Current hemodialysis treatments can cause adverse effects, many of which are linked to the membranes used in the process. These issues are being addressed through new materials and technologies, making it urgent to establish minimum guidelines for evaluating such membranes. This review proposes standardizing the biological tests and variables to evaluate the performance of new membranes, aiming to replicate hemodialysis conditions closely.

Background: Explicit funding and industry affiliation are believed to potentially impact medical research. There have been an increasing number of studies that have evaluated this relationship. The purpose of this study is to determine whether industry affiliation influences the outcomes of randomized controlled trials that investigate the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis.

Introduction: Platelet transfusion has been therapeutically used in patients with thrombocytopenia and platelet function defects over the years. The use of advanced techniques may add value in assessing the quality of platelet products. The aim of the study was to assess stored platelet concentrates (PCs) prepared in blood banks for platelet indices, clot strength, and platelet function.

Purpose: To assess platelet-rich plasma (PRP) changes in platelet and leucocyte count, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) concentration after bilateral low-load knee extensions under blood flow restriction (BFR).
Methods: The present randomised controlled trial protocol will include two groups: the intervention group, which will undergo bilateral knee extensions under BFR, and the control group, which will perform bilateral knee extensions without BFR. Participants will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio.
