Sanguine: Visual Analysis for Patient Blood Management [PDF]
Blood transfusion is a frequently performed medical procedure in surgical and nonsurgical contexts. Although it is frequently necessary or even life-saving, it has been identified as one of the most overused procedures in hospitals. Unnecessary transfusions not only waste resources but can also be detrimental to patient outcomes.

A decision integration strategy for short-term demand forecasting and ordering for red blood cell components [PDF]
Blood transfusion is one of the most crucial and commonly administered therapeutics worldwide. The need for more accurate and efficient ways to manage blood demand and supply is an increasing concern. Building a technology-based, robust blood demand and supply chain that can achieve the goals of reducing ordering frequency, inventory level, wastage and

Twin Acardiac: Case Reported From Ethiopia. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Acardiac twinning is a rare congenital anomaly in monozygotic twin pregnancies, caused by abnormal placental vascular anastomosis. We present a case of monochorionic twinning: Twin A was a heterogeneous mass with no head or cardiac activity, while Twin B was well formed. Twin B passed away 1 week after birth.

Complications of intrauterine intravascular blood transfusion: lessons learned after 1678 procedures [PDF]
ABSTRACTObjectiveMaternal alloimmunization to fetal red‐blood‐cell antigens is a major cause of fetal anemia, which can lead to hydrops and perinatal death if untreated. The cornerstone of management during pregnancy is intrauterine intravascular blood transfusion (IUT).

Foetal Haemoglobin as a Marker of Bone Marrow Suppression Secondary to Anti-Kell Alloimmunisation
Anti-Kell alloimmunisation is a potentially severe minor blood group type incompatibility, not only as a cause of haemolytic disease of the foetus and newborn, but also due to the destruction of red blood cells (RBC) and mature form in the bone marrow ...

Histo-blood group glycans in the context of personalized medicine [PDF]
Background: A subset of histo-blood group antigens including ABO and Lewis are oligosaccharide structures which may be conjugated to lipids or proteins. They are known to be important recognition motifs not only in the context of blood transfusions, but also in infection and cancer development.
