Abstract:
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) use in urogynecology is expanding as it shows good results with minimal side effects. We present three new indications of PRP use in urogynecology that have not been previously reported. Our case series demonstrated that PRP improved wound healing and recovery in a woman with chronic obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) after home delivery, decreased pain in a patient suffering from vulvodynia, and enhanced epithelization in recurrent vaginal stenosis after Fournier gangrene. We have also reviewed patient selection criteria, PRP preparation prerequisites, and techniques. A safe, simple protocol with an optimal platelet yield without using commercial PRP kits is described.

Blood Transfusion and Agglutination
History
The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...
Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
On the other...

Blood Transfusion Overview
A blood transfusion is a medical procedure used to replace blood lost due to injury, surgery, or to treat conditions such as anemia or cancer. During a transfusion, donor blood is...

The essential diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial necrosis and monitoring individuals suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS) include:
Troponins
Troponins, particularly cardiac troponins I and T, are the most precise and sensitive markers of myocardial injury. They are detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury and remain...
