After the first successful blood transfusion, different difficulties of a liquid tissue were overcome; this liquid required special conditions to keep its characteristics with minimal alterations and,...
Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a clinical syndrome defined by peripheral arterial disease (PAD) combined with rest pain, gangrene, or leg ulceration for longer than two weeks resulting in...
To evaluate the applicability of this treatment procedure, we compared the removal rates of Fib and LDL following Rheocarna therapy using various blood treatment volumes (6, 10.5, and 19.5 L)....
Fib and LDL removal rates were about 20% and 15%-25% per treatment, with no significant differences between treatment volumes. Following treatment with Rheocarna, blood pressure tends to decrease at f...
Although no significant difference was found in the removal rate of Fib and LDL in response to increase volume to 6 L or beyond in this study, the 6 L volume is considered effective enough for the rem...
Preeclampsia remains one of the most serious complications of pregnancy. Effective therapies are yet to be developed. Recent research has identified an imbalance of angiogenic and antiangiogenic facto...
We compare the performance and selectivity of TPE, DSA, and MBP for the therapeutic removal of sFlt-1. For MPB, we employ magnetic nanoparticles functionalized with either sFlt-1 antibodies or the sFl...
We demonstrate that sFlt-1 removal by MBP is feasible and significantly more selective than TPE and DSA at comparable sFlt-1 removal efficiencies (MBP 96%, TPE 92%, DSA 78%). During both TPE and DSA, ...
Taken together, the highly selective removal of sFlt-1 and potential other disease-causing factors by extracorporeal magnetic blood purification may offer new prospects for preeclamptic patients....
Blood donation is a safe process though reactions may still occur. We describe a rare vascular complication in a frequent donor, with improvements in the collection process aimed at avoiding future ev...
A 63-year-old woman presented with local pain and an apparent collection in the left arm 8 days after donation. Duplex ultrasound identified a superficial liquid collection and signs of arteriovenous ...
Investigation showed a faster whole blood bag collection time (3 min; normal: 5-9 min), and the processed packed red blood cell had a brighter red color than usual. The donor reported local bleeding a...
We described an uncommon AP in a donor that was not identified, leading to an AVF that spontaneously thrombosed....
Therapeutic apheresis refers to a diversity of procedures in which specific hematologic components (e.g., plasma, erythrocytes, leukocytes, etc.) with pathological associations are removed from circul...
Currently greater than 94% of the US platelet supply is collected by apheresis. A survey to determine the attitudes of members of America's Blood Centers (ABC) toward whole blood derived (WBD) platele...
An on-line survey was distributed to medical directors of the 47 ABC members....
Responses were received from 44/47 (94%) ABC members. There were 15/43 (35%) centers that are currently providing WBD platelets. Seventy percent of the respondents agreed or agreed strongly that WBD a...
The majority of blood collectors consider WBD platelets clinically equivalent to apheresis, however wider adoption of WBD platelets is still hindered by challenges with logistics and inventory managem...
Pediatric apheresis collection of peripheral blood stem cells for autologous transplantation often requires use of a blood prime. We evaluated the relationship between pre-apheresis blood CD34...
The demand for blood products sometimes exceeds the available inventory. Blood product inventories are dependent upon the availability of donors, supplies and reagents, and collection staff. During pr...
The Association for the Advancement of Blood and Biotherapies Donor and Blood Component Management Subsection compiled some strategies from its blood center and hospital transfusion service members th...
Some strategies that blood centers could use to increase their available inventories include increasing donor recruitment efforts, using alternate types of collection kits, manufacturing low-yield aph...
Blood centers and transfusion services must choose the appropriate strategies to implement based on their needs....
Enabling universal access to safe blood components should be a key component of every country's national healthcare strategy. This study aimed to assess the current status of infrastructure and resour...
A cross-sectional survey was designed to gather information on blood donations, components, redistribution, testing resources and quality management systems (QMSs). The survey was distributed to the I...
A total of 54 respondents from 20 countries responded to the survey. This included hospital-based BTS/blood centres (46%), national blood centres (11%)and national and regional blood services (11%). V...
QMS was implemented in most of the countries despite the common use of paid donations and the lack of advanced testing. Efforts to overcome persistent challenges and wider implementation of patient bl...
Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (SM) is an outstanding herbal medicine with various traditional effects, especially promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis. It has been widely used for centuries ...
To summarize the bioactive components of SM against BSS and highlight its potential targets and signaling pathways, hoping to provide a modern biomedical perspective to understand the efficacy of SM o...
A comprehensive literature search was performed to retrieve articles published in the last two decades on bioactive components of SM used for BSS treatment from the online electronic medical literatur...
Phenolic acids and tanshinones in SM are the main bioactive components in the treatment of BSS, including but not limited to salvianolic acid B, tanshinone IIA, salvianolic acid A, cryptotanshinone, D...
Both phenolic acids and tanshinones in SM may act synergistically to target different signaling pathways to achieve the effect of promoting blood circulation....
