,
January 2021 in “IEEE Access” In this study, researchers demonstrated that treating platelet rich plasma with microsecond pulsed electric fields effectively activates platelets and induces similar or higher growth factor release compared to traditional bovine thrombin, suggesting a potential clinical use that may be more cost-effective and practical.
1 citations
,
January 2018 in “Eastern Journal Of Medicine” In this case report, a 9-year-old girl using topical minoxidil for alopecia experienced a 6-second asystole with syncope, suggesting careful cardiac monitoring may be needed for minoxidil users.
