Assessing blood donation applicant characteristics to optimize the promotion of apheresis

, 2020
For effectively using blood products from a limited donor population, the promotion of apheresis donation should be emphasized more often. This study assessed the demographic data of apheresis applicants using blood donor data from the Japanese Red Cross

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 ...

FAIRly deferred: Low impact of the individualised risk assessment policy on blood donor deferrals in England

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives To assess the impact of the individualised risk‐based donor selection guidelines on deferral of blood donors at donation sessions in England. Background From June 2021, the 3‐month deferral for sex between men was replaced by an individualised risk assessment known as FAIR (For the Assessment of Individualised Risk).

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.

Functional validation of a modified platelet desialylation test for immune and hereditary thrombocytopenias

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Thrombocytopenia arises from heterogeneous inherited and acquired disorders, and identifying the underlying platelet clearance mechanisms remains challenging. Platelet desialylation, characterised by loss of sialic acid and consequent exposure of terminal β‐galactose residues recognised by the Ashwell–Morell receptor, represents an ...

Influence of LDL apheresis on LDL subtypes in patients with coronary heart disease and severe hyperlipoproteinemia

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
Epidemiologic studies and in vitro experiments indicate that low density lipoprotein (LDL) subtypes differ concerning their atherogenic potential. Small, dense LDL are more atherogenic than large, buoyant LDL.

Anaphylactic transfusion reaction to group B platelets related to alpha‐gal syndrome: A case report

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Alpha‐gal syndrome (AGS), a distinct form of IgE‐mediated hypersensitivity to the carbohydrate galactose‐α‐1,3‐galactose (α‐Gal), typically occurs after repeated tick bites and leads to allergic reactions after ingestion of mammalian meat.

Glycemic control and blood product quality of Canadian blood donors with diabetes

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Many blood centers now accept donors with diabetes, provided their condition is “well‐controlled”. However, glycemic control is not routinely assessed at donation, and the impact of donor diabetes on blood product quality remains unclear.

Impaired hematopoiesis affects apheresis and CAR T‐cell product composition and treatment response

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T‐cell therapy has transformed the treatment of hematologic malignancies, but its success depends on obtaining sufficient CD3+ T‐cell yields during leukapheresis. This can be difficult in heavily pretreated patients, who often show leukopenia and reduced T‐cell fitness.
