Background: To evaluate the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of burn wounds.
Methods: A comprehensive literature survey was conducted in electronic medical journal databases to identify studies that examined the effect of PRP treatment to burn wounds and meta-analyses of mean differences (MD) standardized MD, or odds ratios were performed.
Results: The percentage of graft take was not significantly different between PRP-treated and control wound areas. Healing rate was significantly better in PRP-treated wounds. Healing time was also significantly less in PRP-treated wounds. There was no significant difference between PRP-treated and control wound areas in epithelialization or in the incidence of adverse events. Incidence of infection was also not different between PRP-treated and control wound areas. Scar assessment score was significantly better in PRP-treated than in control wound areas.
Conclusion: PRP treatment to burn wounds is found to improve healing. Variations in study design and sample size, types of wounds, PRP preparation protocols, and high risk of bias in some of the included studies may have impact on these outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a slow progression of cartilage damage leading to pain and difficulties in movement, with standard pain medications not effective for everyone.
- A systematic review analyzed 10 studies from 2016-2023 on the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for reducing OA pain compared to a placebo.
- While some studies showed significant improvement in symptoms for PRP-treated patients, results were inconsistent, indicating the need for more research to clarify PRP's effectiveness and consider other factors like follow-up times and patient conditions.
BIOFILLER VS PLATELET-RICH PLASMA MESOTHERAPY IN THE TREATMENT OF PERI-ORBITAL HYPERPIGMENTATION.

Article Synopsis
- Peri orbital hyperpigmentation (POH) is a common skin issue with various causes, and this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Biofillers vs. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy in treating it.
- In a double-blinded randomized trial involving 42 patients, the results showed that Biofillers provided significant improvements in pigmentation, patient satisfaction, and had fewer side effects compared to PRP.
- The study concluded that Biofillers are a more effective and safer treatment option for POH than PRP therapy.

One of the most prevalent disorders of the urinary system is urinary tract infection, which is mostly brought on by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). The objective of this study was to evaluate the regenerative therapeutic and antibacterial efficacy of PRP for induced bacterial cystitis in dogs in comparison to conventional antibiotics. 25 healthy male mongrel dogs were divided into 5 groups (n = 5).

Chronic wounds represent a considerable burden for the affected patients and the health care system. To overcome this problem, effective treatment strategies are urgently required. In this study, we tested a novel approach by combining platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and microvascular fragments (MVF) to create a prevascularized gel dressing.

Large skeletal muscle defects owing to trauma or following tumor extirpation can result in substantial functional impairment. Purified exosomes are now available clinically and have been used for wound healing. The objective of this study was to evaluate the regenerative capacity of commercially available exosomes on an animal model of volumetric muscle loss (VML) and its potential translation to human muscle injury.
