Multiple uses of fibrin sealant for nervous system treatment following injury and disease

Lesions to the nervous system often produce hemorrhage and tissue loss that are difficult, if not impossible, to repair. Therefore, scar formation, inflammation and cavitation take place, expanding the lesion epicenter. This significantly worsens the patient conditions and impairment, increasing neuronal...

In vitro characterization of jellyfish venom fibrin(ogen)olytic enzymes from Nemopilema nomurai

Background: Because jellyfish are capable of provoking envenomation in humans, they are considered hazardous organisms. Although the effects of their toxins are a matter of concern, information on the venom components, biological activity and pathological mechanisms are still scarce. Therefore, the aim o...

Antifungal efficacy of amphotericin B encapsulated fibrin microsphere for treating Cryptococcus neoformans infection in Swiss albino mice

Braz. j. infect. dis; 20 (4), 2016
Abstract A natural and biocompatible fibrin microsphere is one of the most promising dual delivery vehicle as compared to other traditionally designed delivery modalities. It represents sustained delivery of encapsulated drug and is easily biodegradable in the blood circulation. In the present study, we ...

Arcabouço de PRP-gel associado a células tronco mesenquimais: uso em lesões condrais em modelo experimental equino

Pesqui. vet. bras; 36 (6), 2016
O plasma rico em plaquetas (PRP) é conhecido por apresentar propriedades anabólicas, anti-inflamatórias e capacidade de gelificação. Atualmente o PRP é considerado eficaz na reparação da cartilagem, sendo sua capacidade de formação de gel indicada para o preenchimento de defeitos condrais. O ob...

Flap and abdominal wall washing and debridement using dressings to prevent seromas and hematomas in abdominoplasty

Rev. bras. cir. plást; 31 (4), 2016
Seroma formation remains a common complication of abdominoplasty. The use of drain, flap fixation points, and fibrin glue has been described to reduce the incidence of seroma formation. The authors present herein an easyto- reproduce technique to decrease the risk of bleeding and eliminate the devitalize...

Surgical item left in the abdomen six years after abdominoplasty: case report

Rev. bras. cir. plást; 31 (4), 2016
The retained surgical item in patients after closure of the wound is a situation that although rare is preventable and requires specific care such as institutional protocols for prevention. We report a case of removal of an already encapsulated pads by fibrin tissue (textiloma) from a patient six years a...

Generalidades del sistema de la coagulación y pruebas para su estudio

Invest. clín; 56 (4), 2015
En la década de los años sesenta, se describió la cascada de la coagulación como una secuencia de eventos enzimáticos iniciada por dos vías, la intrínseca y la extrínseca, las cuales convergían en una vía común para generar una enzima multifuncional, denominada trombina. La principal función ...
