Malaria Screening and Treatment in Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Donors and Sickle Cell Disease Candidates/Recipients: A Case Series Using Malaria Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing and a Literature Review

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Malaria polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is more sensitive than conventional diagnostics. Routine PCR screening of at‐risk asymptomatic hematopoietic cell donors and transplant candidates may prevent unnecessary deferrals or treatment. In our experience, PCR negativity during screening or after treatment supports donor/candidate eligibility ...

Tocilizumab provides a potential therapeutic option for the management of hyperhaemolysis syndrome in sickle cell disease: A case series and brief narrative overview of the literature

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Hyperhaemolysis syndrome is a life‐threatening complication of transfusion, potentially triggered by macrophage activation, with limited treatment options. Tocilizumab, an anti‐IL6 monoclonal antibody, has mechanistic rationale for use and has been shown to be effective in a small number of cases.

Evaluation of immunophenotypic markers and clinico-hematological profile in chronic lymphocytic leukemia: implications for prognosis

BMC Research Notes, 2020
Objective Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is an adult leukemia presented with clonal accumulation of lymphocytes. Immunophenotypic changes can be effective in predicting clinical course, the survival of patients, and determining first-line treatment ...

Characterisation of RHD and RHCE variations in blood donors from Jazan Province, Southwestern Saudi Arabia

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Rh is among the most important and highly polymorphic blood group systems due to the proximity of the RHD and RHCE genes, which encode numerous highly immunogenic antigens. However, in areas of Saudi Arabia with a high prevalence of hemoglobinopathy, the molecular characteristics of RHD and RHCE variations are lacking.

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

Vox 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 ...

Emergence of red blood cell alloantibodies and transfusion management in patients with warm autoantibodies at a tertiary care centre in British Columbia, Canada

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives The presence of warm autoantibodies (WAAs) complicates pre‐transfusion and compatibility testing. Despite attempts to provide antigen‐matched red blood cells (RBCs), the risk of alloimmunization remains. Rates of alloimmunization and indications for transfusion were reviewed to streamline testing and RBC provision ...

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

The 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
