Rheocarna treatment for non‐dialysis patients

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Rheocarna has attracted attention as an alternative therapy for severe chronic limb‐threatening ischemia, and there have been reports of its usefulness. However, most of these reports have been on dialysis patients, and there are few reports on the treatment conditions and efficacy in non‐dialysis patients.

Granulocyte and Monocyte Adsorption Therapy in Patients With Sepsis: A Feasibility Study

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
The median SOFA score decreased from 10 to 4 after 7 days. Decreased circulatory and renal SOFA scores were characteristic. Granulocytes, mainly neutrophils, were adsorbed, and the neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio significantly improved. The median APACHE II score was 27, and the 28‐day mortality rate was 7.8%.

The wider perspective: Barriers and recommendations for transfusion support for patients with sickle cell disease in low‐ and middle‐income countries

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Globally, sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common inherited haemoglobinopathy. The highest burden of SCD is encountered in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), most of which lack the resources to contend with the disease. Blood transfusion remains central to the emergent treatment and prevention of complications of SCD.

Coordinating a bi‐level blood supply chain with interactions between supply‐side and demand‐side operational decisions

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In most blood supply chains, blood centers and hospitals make individual decisions, resulting in an inefficient structure of the blood supply chain, which in turn renders supply and demand matching a challenging exercise. In this work, we make the very first attempt to optimize the interaction between blood centers and hospitals.

LDL-apheresis depletes apoE-HDL and pre-β1-HDL in familial hypercholesterolemia: relevance to atheroprotection

Journal of Lipid Research, 2011
Subnormal HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein (apo)AI levels are characteristic of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), reflecting perturbed intravascular metabolism with compositional anomalies in HDL particles, including apoE enrichment. Does LDL-
