AI Article Synopsis

  • PRP is a treatment for joint issues, and this study examined its effects using different types obtained from young and old donors in aged rats.
  • The study involved six months of injections, followed by bone analysis through micro-CT and histology, revealing that PRP from older donors had higher proinflammatory molecules.
  • Results indicated that young donor PRP led to better bone structure, suggesting it can help combat age-related bone degeneration and support bone health.

Article Abstract

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an increasingly widespread treatment for joint pathologies. Its characteristics and administration route are variables that may influence the clinical outcome. The aim of this in vivo study was to analyze in aged rats the biological and structure effects of intraosseous infiltrations of two different types of PRP obtained from young and old donors. During 6 months intraosseous infiltrations were performed and 4 days after the last infiltration, animals were sacrificed, and bones were extracted for micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histological analysis. Molecular composition of the PRP of aged donors presented higher levels of proinflammatory molecules. The histological studies showed a greater cellularity of bone marrow in groups treated with PRP. Concerning micro-CT analysis, young PRP showed a better femoral bone structure according to values of percentage of trabecular bone, trabecular space, trabecular density, and subchondral bone plate volume. In summary, this study has demonstrated that intraosseous infiltrations of PRP from young donors prevent from age-related bone degeneration. This treatment could stimulate the biological processes that maintain homeostasis and bone structure and avoid osteoarticular pathologies.

Introduction: Osteochondroma, a common benign bone tumor, predominantly affects young individuals, with a higher prevalence in males. It typically manifests as a bony growth capped with cartilage near bone growth plates, often extending away from joints. While most cases are asymptomatic, some may present with pain, swelling, or mechanical complications necessitating surgical intervention.

Background: It is vital to identify more efficient anesthesia techniques for the restorative or endodontic treatment of mandibular molars. Both articaine buccal infiltration anesthesia (ABI) and lidocaine inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia (LIANB) may not provide profound anesthesia, necessitating supplementary anesthesia. This study aimed to investigate whether lidocaine intraosseous lidocaine intraosseous anesthesia (LIO) is more suitable than ABI as primary anesthesia for caries treatment of mandibular molars.

Sclerosing Odontogrenic Carcinoma (SOC) is a recent addition to the category of odontogenic tumours, which was first described by Koutlas et al. in 2008. It was described as primary intraosseous carcinoma with bland cytology, sclerotic stroma with presence of local infiltration showing aggressive behaviour.

Article Synopsis
  • A systematic review was conducted to assess the safety of infusing vasoactive agents like epinephrine and norepinephrine through peripheral venous catheters or intraosseous access in critically ill children, as previous analyses had mostly focused on dopamine and had a limited number of patients.
  • The review included twelve observational studies and one randomized controlled trial, ultimately calculating the incidence rates of local adverse events associated with these infusions.
  • The findings showed a low incidence of such adverse events, at 2.1% overall, suggesting that peripheral infusion of vasoactive agents may be safe and viable in critical situations.
