Lipoprotein apheresis to treat elevated lipoprotein (a)1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2016
An elevated plasma concentration of lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Life style modification and currently available drugs either fail to effectively lower plasma Lp(a) levels or do not result in clinical ...

Safety and feasibility of apheresis to harvest and concentrate parasites from subjects with induced blood stage Plasmodium vivax infection

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background In the absence of a method to culture Plasmodium vivax, the only way to source parasites is ex vivo. This hampers many aspects of P. vivax research. This study aimed to assess the safety of apheresis, a method for selective removal of specific

Evaluation of efficacy of Valsalva for attenuating needle puncture pain in first time nonremunerated voluntary plateletpheresis donors: A prospective, randomized controlled trial

Asian Journal of Transfusion Science, 2021
Background: Plateletpheresis is generally safe but may have adverse reactions. Adverse reactions can negatively influence donor recruitment and retention. Valsalva is a proven method of attenuating pain caused by venipuncture.

An Attempted Suicide with Copper Sulphate injected intravenously:Pathopsysiology and Therapy about a case report [PDF]

, 2017
Acute copper sulphate poisoning is an unusual event, rarely following parenteral exposure, complicated by toxicological effects as haemolytic anaemia, methaemoglobinaemia , hepato-renal damage and acute rhabdomyolysis.

Clinical experience of lomitapide therapy in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia [PDF]

, 2014
The microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) inhibitor lomitapide is a licenced adjunct to a low-fat diet and other lipid-lowering medication, with or without low-density lipoprotein apheresis, for the treatment of adults with homozygous familial ...

Apoptosis kinetics of purified and PBMC‐associated lymphocytes after photopheresis‐like 8‐methoxypsolaren/UVA treatment

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) induces apoptosis in circulating immune cells, but its kinetics vary slightly depending on the cell type. We compared the progression of apoptosis in PBMCs versus highly purified T cells exposed to 8‐methoxypsoralen and ultraviolet A.

Acute effects of low density lipoprotein apheresis on metabolic parameters of apolipoprotein B

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
Apheresis is a treatment option for patients with severe hypercholesterolemia and coronary artery disease. It is unknown whether such therapy changes kinetic parameters of lipoprotein metabolism, such as apolipoprotein B (apoB) secretion rates ...

Quality of platelet concentrates after three‐day storage following 265 nm ultraviolet C‐light‐emitting diode irradiation

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives We aimed to investigate the quality of platelets after storage following irradiation with ultraviolet C (UVC) light‐emitting diodes (LED). Background Controlling transfusion‐related infections, particularly bacterial contamination of platelet concentrates (PCs), is urgently required. UVC‐LEDs have attracted considerable attention as

Lipoprotein turnover and possible remnant accumulation in preeclampsia: insights from the Freiburg Preeclampsia H.E.L.P.-apheresis study

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2018
Background Preeclampsia is a life-threatening disease in pregnancy, and its complex pathomechanisms are poorly understood. In preeclampsia, lipid metabolism is substantially altered.
