Implementation frameworks, strategies and outcomes in optimizing central venous access device practice in paediatrics: A scoping review

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
Abstract Paediatric patients with complex or acute conditions may require a central venous access device, however, almost one‐third of these devices have associated complications (e.g. infections). Implementation of evidence‐based practices regarding central venous access devices can reduce and potentially prevent complications.

Cellular cholesterol efflux and cholesterol loading capacity of serum: effects of LDL-apheresis

Journal of Lipid Research, 2012
High LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) characterizes familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH). LDL-apheresis, used in these patients to reduce LDL-C levels, has been shown to also affect HDL levels and composition.

Plasma cell‐directed therapies induce profound clinical and durable responses in patients with severe or relapsed/refractory scleromyxedema

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
In severe forms of monoclonal gammapathy associated with scleromyxoedema with dermatoneuro syndrome and/or cardiac involvement, deep and durable responses allowing IVIG withdrawal could be achieved using anti‐plasma cell therapy, including Imids, anti‐CD38 or proteasome inhibitors. Abstract Background Scleromyxedema (SM) is a rare skin disorder related

Lipoprotein-apheresis reduces circulating microparticles in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2014
Lipoprotein-apheresis (apheresis) removes LDL-cholesterol in patients with severe dyslipidemia. However, reduction is transient, indicating that the long-term cardiovascular benefits of apheresis may not solely be due to LDL removal. Microparticles (MPs)

Apheresis training in Turkey

Transfusion and Apheresis Science, 2016
Continuing education and standardization are of utmost importance in apheresis science as every field in medicine. Especially, the last 5 years witnessed remarkable progress in apheresis science in Turkey, both in terms of increased numbers of therapeutic apheresis centers, therapeutic apheresis procedures performed per year, and also in terms of ...

Extracellular vesicles in ageing cold‐stored whole blood may not compensate for the decreasing haemostatic function in vitro

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have procoagulative properties. As EVs are known to accumulate in stored blood products, we compared the EV content and coagulation capacity of leukoreduced cold‐stored whole blood (CSWB) with current prehospital and in‐hospital component therapies to understand the role of EVs in the haemostatic ...

Comparison of conventional coagulation tests and ROTEM in identifying trauma‐induced coagulopathy for massive haemorrhage protocol activation

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Trauma‐induced coagulopathy (TIC) can be fatal but preventable if recognised early. With emerging uses of rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) to guide transfusions in trauma, patient outcomes with TIC‐defined by initial ROTEM and conventional coagulation tests (CCTs) during massive haemorrhage protocol (MHP) activations were ...

An in silico simulation of the frequency of administering HLA‐incompatible low titer group O whole blood units when the donor pool includes unscreened female donors

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background As low titer group O whole blood (LTOWB) increases in popularity, blood centers are finding innovative ways of maintaining the supply. One potential way is collecting LTOWB from parous female donors without testing for HLA antibodies.

Comparative analysis of cold‐stored platelets using Golden Hour transport boxes: Function and quality

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The Emergency Medical Retrieval and Transfer Service in Wales provides prehospital critical care, including the transfusion of red blood cells and plasma. However, the logistical challenges of storing platelet concentrates (PCs) at 22°C with constant agitation limit their prehospital use.
