Return of autologous blood donors as homologous blood donors

Syncope in Blood Donors

New England Journal of Medicine, 1946
THE present emergency has provided an unusually abundant opportunity for the study of syncope, or fainting, in blood donors. Although not in itself serious, fainting results in loss of time to the donor, it is detrimental to the efficiency of the donor center, and, as pointed out by Taylor,1 an occasional donor has fallen and suffered injury.

Journal of Patient Safety, 2009
Blood donor questionnaire is an integral component of blood safety, designed to identify and disqualify donors who do not fit certain criteria.

Blood donor protection

Clinical & Laboratory Haematology, 1980
The quality of blood donated or purchased may be not only inferior from a recipient or user point of view, but donation may also be injurious to the health of the donor. A study of 1215 paid donors suggests that the current screening guidelines for all donors may not be adequate.

“Just” blood donors? A study on the multi-affiliations of blood donors

Transfusion and Apheresis Science, 2017
The present work proposes to explore a phenomenon well known in the world of blood donation, but little explored by literature: multi-affiliations. By that term, in this paper we mean blood donors' engagement in multiple associations of various natures (donation, recreation, sports, etc.) simultaneously.

Screening of Blood Donors

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1981
To the Editor.— The editorial by Frank Iber, MD (1981;245:849), entitled "Easier Decisions in Viral Hepatitis for the Practitioner" gives an excellent overview to a frequent, yet often confusing clinical situation. However, his statement that "transfused blood is specifically tested for HB [hepatitis B(antigen)], but no test exists for NANB [non-A ...

SIR, — Your report of the setting up of a canine blood bank by Vets Now ( VR , April 28, 2007, vol 160, p 563) informs us that blood is collected from ‘volunteer dogs’. Is this not an altruistic anthropomorphism?

The Blood Donor Identity Survey: a multidimensional measure of blood donor motivations

Transfusion, 2014
BackgroundEvidence indicates that donor identity is an important predictor of donation behavior; however, prior studies have relied on diverse, unidimensional measures with limited psychometric support. The goals of this study were to examine the application of self‐determination theory to blood donor motivations and to develop and validate a related ...
