Abstract Aims The extent of irreversible cardiomyocyte necrosis after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major determinant of residual left ventricular (LV) function and clinical outcome. Cell therapy based on CD34+ cells has emerged as an option to help repair the myocardium and to improve outcomes.

Infection with human T-lymphotropic virus types-1 and -2 (HTLV-1 and -2): Implications for blood transfusion safety [PDF]
Many countries currently perform antibody screening for HTLV-1 infection in blood donors, and this intervention is likely cost-effective in preventing HTLV-1 related diseases in high prevalence countries. However, a number of high-income countries with low prevalence of HTLV-1 infection also perform universal HTLV-1 screening and debate has arisen ...

Pathways of cell-cell transmission of HTLV-1
The deltaretroviruses human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 2 (HTLV-2) have long been believed to differ from retroviruses in other genera by their mode of transmission.

HTLV screening and confirmatory testing among blood donors in São Paulo: A cross‐sectional study
Abstract Introduction Human T‐cell lymphotropic virus types 1 and 2 (HTLV‐1/2) are transfusion‐transmissible retroviruses associated with severe diseases, and blood donor screening is mandatory in Brazil. Increasing HTLV‐related discard rates at our institution prompted this study to determine the prevalence and incidence of HTLV‐1/2 and to investigate
