Robust Meta-Model for Predicting the Need for Blood Transfusion in Non-traumatic ICU Patients [PDF]
Objective: Blood transfusions, crucial in managing anemia and coagulopathy in ICU settings, require accurate prediction for effective resource allocation and patient risk assessment. However, existing clinical decision support systems have primarily targeted a particular patient demographic with unique medical conditions and focused on a single type of

Patterns Formation in Drying Drops of Blood [PDF]
The drying of a drop of human blood exhibits coupled physical mechanisms, such as Marangoni flow, evaporation and wettability. The final stage of a whole blood drop evaporation reveals regular patterns with a good reproducibility for a healthy person.

ABSTRACT Transplant‐associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA‐TMA) is an endothelial dysfunction syndrome observed after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (alloHCT). Our aim was to externally validate the impact of high‐risk features on the clinical outcomes of adult patients meeting the updated TA‐TMA harmonizing criteria. Between 2005 and 2022,

A Fractional Differential Transformation Solution Method for the Assessment, Monitoring, Control, and Evaluation of HIV/AIDS Confirmed Status with Vertical Transmission in Nigeria [PDF]
HIV is a deadly virus transmitted either through having of unprotected sex, mother to child transmission, sharing of unsterilized objects that is capable of making cut or wounds on the body, through blood or bodily fluid transmission. AIDS has no permanent cure but remedies that help in suppressing the power effect of the virus are available.

Blood ties: ABO is a trans-species polymorphism in primates [PDF]
The ABO histo-blood group, the critical determinant of transfusion incompatibility, was the first genetic polymorphism discovered in humans. Remarkably, ABO antigens are also polymorphic in many other primates, with the same two amino acid changes responsible for A and B specificity in all species sequenced to date.

Hermansky‐Pudlak Syndrome: From Molecular Pathogenesis to Targeted Therapies
ABSTRACT Hermansky‐Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a rare inherited disorder caused by defects in lysosome‐related organelles (LROs) in various tissues, including platelets, melanocytes, and endothelial cells. Key features of HPS include oculocutaneous albinism, bleeding tendency, and, in some cases, pulmonary fibrosis, granulomatous colitis, and ...

Cholesterol exchange and synthesis in the live rat.
The turnover of plasma cholesterol and de novo cholesterol synthesis were measured simultaneously in the live rat, immediately after administration of [3H]water together with a large volume exchange transfusion of whole blood prelabeled with [14C ...

Dynamic Glucose Enhanced Imaging using Direct Water Saturation [PDF]
Purpose: Dynamic glucose enhanced (DGE) MRI studies employ chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) or spin lock (CESL) to study glucose uptake. Currently, these methods are hampered by low effect size and sensitivity to motion. To overcome this, we propose to utilize exchange-based linewidth (LW) broadening of the direct water saturation (DS ...

Magnetophoretic separation of blood cells at the microscale [PDF]
We present a method and model for the direct and continuous separation of red and white blood cells in plasma. The method is implemented at the microscale using a microfluidic system that consists of an array of integrated soft-magnetic elements embedded beneath a microfluidic channel.
