Cost‐effectiveness of a hypothetical assay to evaluate stored blood quality prior to transfusion

open access: yesVox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Unsuccessful red blood cell (RBC) transfusion, necessitating unscheduled repeat transfusion, is common and costly. Several technologies have been developed to assess stored blood quality, but the potential cost‐effectiveness of pretransfusion testing versus no testing to prevent unscheduled re‐transfusion is unknown ...

Metabolic stimulation improves bioenergetics and haematologic indices of circulating erythrocytes from sickle cell mice

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Metabolic stimulation improves bioenergetics, redox state, hydration and hematologic indices of circulating erythrocytes from sickle cell mice. Retained mitochondria in circulating RBCs from sickle mice are a source of RBC ATP as mitochondria function (ETC, electron transport chain) inhibitors [rotenone, a mitochondrial complex I
