Exploring the immunomodulatory impacts of blood manufacturing consolidation

open access: yesTransfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The immunomodulatory consequences of blood transfusion, known as transfusion‐related immune modulation (TRIM), are often not captured by hemovigilance systems. Changes to blood product manufacturing processes may impact patient outcomes.

Cost‐effectiveness of a hypothetical assay to evaluate stored blood quality prior to transfusion

open access: yesVox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Unsuccessful red blood cell (RBC) transfusion, necessitating unscheduled repeat transfusion, is common and costly. Several technologies have been developed to assess stored blood quality, but the potential cost‐effectiveness of pretransfusion testing versus no testing to prevent unscheduled re‐transfusion is unknown ...

Human induced pluripotent stem cells can reach complete terminal maturation: in vivo and in vitro evidence in the erythropoietic differentiation model

open access: yesHaematologica, 2012
Background Human induced pluripotent stem cells offer perspectives for cell therapy and research models for diseases. We applied this approach to the normal and pathological erythroid differentiation model by establishing induced pluripotent stem cells ...

Survival Probability in Patients with Sickle Cell Anemia Using the Competitive Risk Statistical Model. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The clinical picture of patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) is associated with several complications some of which could be fatal. The objective of this study is to analyze the causes of death and the effect of sex and age on survival of Brazilian ...

Multinational transfusion practices and outcomes in haematology patients admitted to the intensive care unit

open access: yesVox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives The number of critically ill patients with haematological conditions is increasing, yet transfusion practices in this population remain poorly defined. This study aimed to compare transfusion strategies in critically ill patients with versus without haematological conditions.

Uncovering the impact of the cardiovascular system on cerebrovascular health using MRI

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human cerebrovasculature is finely tuned to enable local changes in blood flow to meet the brain's demands, whilst protecting the brain from systemic changes in blood pressure, both acutely during a heartbeat and chronically over time. This review summarises cerebrovascular structure and function, their role in disease and neurodegeneration ...

Metabolic stimulation improves bioenergetics and haematologic indices of circulating erythrocytes from sickle cell mice

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Metabolic stimulation improves bioenergetics, redox state, hydration and hematologic indices of circulating erythrocytes from sickle cell mice. Retained mitochondria in circulating RBCs from sickle mice are a source of RBC ATP as mitochondria function (ETC, electron transport chain) inhibitors [rotenone, a mitochondrial complex I
