“Platelet-Rich Plasma Versus the Platelets Adipose Stromal Treatment for Arthritis (PASTA) Technique for Knee Arthropathy and Chondropathy: Clinical and Functional Outcomes”

Alberto Gobbi; Alfred Jerald Salvador*; Melanio Acosta IV; Katherine Adrielle Bersola; Leandra Bizzoco

    Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and adipose-derived cell-based treatments are widely used for knee osteoarthritis (OA), yet comparative evidence between PRP alone and PRP combined with adipose-derived products remains limited. The Platelets Adipose Stromal Treatment for Arthritis (PASTA)


Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) - from Arnold Caplan to Present, Clinical Applications, and Markers to Predict Orthopaedic Outcomes

Alberto Gobbi; Melanio Acosta IV*; Alfred Jerald Salvador; Leandra Bizzoco

    Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have gained prominence in regenerative orthopaedics since their initial characterization by Arnold Caplan in 1991. This review outlines the historical development and evolving understanding of MSCs including their redefinition as "medicinal signaling cells" based on their paracrine and immunomodulatory properties.


Novel P.A.S.T.A. Technique Combining PRP and MSCs from SVF Shows Improved Outcomes at Short-/Long-Term Follow-Up for Osteoarthritis and Chondropathy

Melanio Acosta IV*; Leandra Bizzoco; Ignacio Dallo; and Alberto Gobbi

    The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of a novel technique to treat osteoarthritis and chondropathy, termed "P.A.S.T.A." for Platelets Adipose Stromal Treatment for Arthritis. This technique utilizes the combination of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from peripheral blood and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).


Epidemiological Study of De Quervain's Tenosynovitis in Postpartum Women

Christine Vella*; K Sant; S Aquilina; D Borg

    De Quervain's tenosynovitis is an inflammatory condition that affects the sheath surrounding tendons, most commonly observed in the hands and wrists. This study investigates the prevalence, risk factors, and treatment outcomes of de Quervain's tenosynovitis among postpartum women, a population particularly vulnerable due to the unique physiological and biomechanical stresses associated with pregnancy and caregiving.


Caudal Epidurography and Therapeutic Steroid Injection in Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS): A Database Review

Shemila Abbasi*; Gauhar Afshan; Fiza Khan; Ali Sarfraz Siddiqui; Kamran Ali; Ausaf Ahmed; Tanveer Baig

    The role of caudal epidurography and epidural steroid injections in FBSS in low-middle-income countries remains unknown. Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) is a chronic pain condition with a significant impact on quality of life. It affects about 5 to 40% of patients who undergo spinal surgery. This retrospective study evaluates the effect of epidural steroid injection using caudal epidurography on pain (static and dynamic) and on functional improvement, mood, and sleep.
