Abstract Background Despite efforts to standardise practice using evidence‐based guidelines, fresh frozen plasma (FFP) remains the blood component most frequently prescribed inappropriately. This study assessed the appropriateness of FFP transfusion in two tertiary teaching hospitals and analysed the characteristics of appropriate and inappropriate ...

A Framework for a Smart Social Blood Donation System Based on Mobile Cloud Computing [PDF]
Blood Donation and Blood Transfusion Services (BTS) are crucial for saving people lives. Recently, worldwide efforts have been undertaken to utilize social media and smartphone applications to make the blood donation process more convenient, offer additional services, and create communities around blood donation centers.

The choice of the intravenous fluid influences the tolerance of acute normovolemic anemia in anesthetized domestic pigs [PDF]
The correction of hypovolemia with acellular fluids results in acute normovolemic anemia. Whether the choice of the infusion fluid has an impact on the maintenance of oxygen (O2) supply during acute normovolemic anemia has not been investigated so far ...

Alterations in cell surface area and deformability of individual human red blood cells in stored blood [PDF]
The functionality and viability of stored human red blood cells (RBCs) is an important clinical issue in transfusion. To systematically investigate changes in stored whole blood, the hematological properties of individual RBCs were quantified in blood samples stored for various periods with and without a preservation solution called CPDA-1.

Cognitive TransFuser: Semantics-guided Transformer-based Sensor Fusion for Improved Waypoint Prediction [PDF]
Sensor fusion approaches for intelligent self-driving agents remain key to driving scene understanding given visual global contexts acquired from input sensors. Specifically, for the local waypoint prediction task, single-modality networks are still limited by strong dependency on the sensitivity of the input sensor, and thus recent works therefore ...

Aspects of leucocyte and fat filtration during cardiac surgery [PDF]
Na een hartoperatie treden vaak door het hele lichaam ontstekingsreacties op. Door het bloed tijdens de operatie te filteren, lopen patiënten minder risico op beschadigingen in longen, hart en hersenen, ontdekte Hans de Vries.

This study indicates that perinatal antibiotic exposure elevates susceptibility to high‐fat‐diet‐induced hepatic lipid accumulation via disrupting early‐life gut microbiota colonization. The decreased Lactobacillus colonization inhibits primary‐to‐secondary bile acid conversion, lowering secondary bile acids, enhancing adulthood intestinal lipid ...

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
