Bulk and wetting phenomena in a colloidal mixture of hard spheres and platelets [PDF]
Density functional theory is used to study binary colloidal fluids consisting of hard spheres and thin platelets in their bulk and near a planar hard wall. This system exhibits liquid-liquid coexistence of a phase that is rich in spheres (poor in platelets) and a phase that is poor in spheres (rich in platelets). For the mixture near a planar hard wall,

Efficacy of platelet-rich plasma applied to post-extraction retained lower third molar alveoli. A systematic review [PDF]
Dental retentions have a high prevalence among the general population and their removal can involve multiple complications. The use of platelet rich plasma has been proposed in an attempt to avoid these complications, as it contains high growth factors ...

Thermodynamics and phase behavior of the lamellar Zwanzig model [PDF]
Binary mixtures of lamellar colloids represented by hard platelets are studied within a generalization of the Zwanzig model for rods, whereby the square cuboids can take only three orientations along the $x$, $y$ or $z$ axes. The free energy is calculated within Rosenfeld's ''Fundamental Measure Theory'' (FMT) adapted to the present model.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) a biogenic stimulator in treatment of primary atrophic rhinitis
Background Primary atrophic rhinitis (1ry AR) is a chronic nasal disease characterized by the loss of mucociliary clearance and presence of viscid secretions and dried crusts that causes a characteristic foul odor, usually bilateral.

Application of biologics for ridge preservation/reconstruction after implant removal
Abstract Background The purpose of this review was aimed at providing the rationale supported with a series of cases to apply biologics to enhance orchestrating the healing process at implant removal sites. Summary Implant removal is commonly applied on a daily basis, in particular, in cases that exhibit esthetic failures linked to inadequate implant ...

Immersed boundary simulations of cell-cell interactions in whole blood [PDF]
We present a new method for the geometric reconstruction of elastic surfaces simulated by the immersed boundary method with the goal of simulating the motion and interactions of cells in whole blood. Our method uses parameter-free radial basis functions for high-order meshless parametric reconstruction of point clouds and the elastic force computations

The role of platelet rich plasma in musculoskeletal science [PDF]
The idea of using platelet rich plasma (PRP) in medicine has been around since the 1970s. It is only more recently that its use has been employed in the area of musculoskeletal science.
