Unusual spontaneous cold auto-hemagglutination phenomenon in blood units stored under blood bank condition: A retrospective analysis

Asian Journal of Transfusion Science, 2015
Background: Cold agglutinins (CA) are benign naturally occurring low titer autoantibodies present in most individuals. Those with moderate strength are found in infections, malignancies or autoimmune conditions with diagnostic importance.

Lipid Interference Flagging and Haemoglobin Correction in Lipemic Samples With a Hematology Analyzer

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
A flagging method was developed based on the changes of routine blood parameters and blood cell scattergram. It highlights the clinical value of the “Lipid Particles?” flag in effectively identifying lipid interference. This study supports the use of HGB‐O measured by ERP channel as a robust tool for improving diagnostic accuracy in lipid interference ...

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae Misinterpreted as SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Case Reports in Pulmonology, 2021
Background. In 2020, a novel coronavirus caused a global pandemic with a clinical picture termed COVID-19, accounting for numerous cases of ARDS. However, there are still other infectious causes of ARDS that should be considered, especially as the ...

The N‐Glycome to Differentiate Mesenchymal Stem Cells Upon Chondrogenic Differentiation, Dedifferentiation, and Senescence

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells able to self‐renewal or differentiation into different cell types, including chondrocytes. N‐Glycans are post‐translational modifications of glycoproteins that contribute to vital cell functions.

Brain Pericytes and Wnt/β‐Catenin Signaling Induce Functional Blood–Brain Barrier Phenotype in Human iPSC‐Derived Model

Small Methods, EarlyView.
This study shows that human iPSC‐derived endothelial cells acquire a functional blood–brain barrier phenotype when co‐cultured with brain pericytes and stimulated with CHIR‐99021, a Wnt/β‐catenin activator. This model recapitulates key barrier properties, inflammatory responses, and transcriptomic features of the native human BBB, offering new ...

Management of Mixed Warm/Cold Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia: A Case Report and Review of Current Literature

Case Reports in Hematology, 2023
Background. Mixed warm/cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a rare diagnostic entity with limited therapeutic options. Previous literature has described the diagnostic difficulty in this pathology and the limited response rates to corticosteroids ...

Multimodal Assessment of Kidney Quality During 24‐h of Normothermic Machine Perfusion

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has emerged as a promising tool for assessing kidney quality prior to transplantation; however, reliable biomarkers remain to be established. In this study, thirteen porcine kidneys were perfused for 24 h using an autologous leukocyte‐filtered whole blood‐based perfusate applying urine recirculation.

Development of Multiple Myeloma of the IgA Type in a Patient with Cold Agglutinin Disease: Transformation or Coincidence?

Case Reports in Hematology, 2019
Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is an autoimmune hemolytic anemia and a distinct, clonal bone marrow lymphoproliferative disorder, characterized in most cases by a monoclonal IgMκ serum protein.

Bone Marrow Pathology in Cold Agglutinin‐Mediated Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia: A Study of 56 Cases

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is a rare form of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). CAD occurs in the context of a small clonal B‐cell lymphoproliferation restricted to blood and/or bone marrow (BM), without overt or extramedullary lymphoma. The WHO‐HAEM5 introduced a description of the CAD‐associated lymphoproliferative disorder (CAD‐LPD) in ...
