Diagnosis and Management of Prenatal Hereditary Pyropoikilocytosis

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is a severe hemolytic anemia caused by variants in SPTA1, SPTB, and EPB41. These weaken horizontal interactions in the erythrocyte cytoskeleton, causing membrane fragmentation and splenic sequestration. It will readily cause fetal anemia and often hydrops fetalis. Prenatal diagnosis requires first ruling out

Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn: Fetal RHD Genotyping, Targeted Prophylaxis, and Prenatal Therapies

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) remains a significant concern in prenatal care primarily caused by maternal alloimmunization against fetal red blood cell antigens, most commonly the D antigen. Noninvasive fetal RHD genotyping, used as a screening tool, enables targeted antenatal prophylaxis and has been implemented in several

The Diagnosis and Prenatal Management of Non‐RHD Alloimmunizations

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization remains a relevant cause of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). Although RhD immunization has significantly decreased since the implementation of systematic prophylaxis, it is still the main cause of alloimmunization in pregnancy.

From haemostasis to immunity: The expanding frontiers of platelet biology

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Platelets are versatile cells whose functions extend far beyond haemostasis and thrombosis, actively regulating innate and adaptive immunity, angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, liver regeneration, atherosclerosis and tumour metastasis. This demonstrates their central role in various physiological processes and multiple life‐threatening diseases ...

Italian Patients Journey for Gene Therapy in Haemophilia A

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Gene therapy (GT) provides sustained FVIII levels without repeated infusions in Hemophilia A (HA) patients thus overcoming a major limitation of replacement therapy. However, issues remain e.g., patient selection criteria, duration and variability of transgene expression, quality of life and long‐term safety.

Evaluation of point‐of‐care versus laboratory antiglobulin‐enhanced major crossmatch testing in cats

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives It is recommended that all cats, regardless of transfusion history, undergo major crossmatch prior to blood product administration to decrease the likelihood of immunological transfusion reactions. A reliable and user‐friendly point‐of‐care crossmatch test would help make crossmatch testing more accessible.

A retrospective analysis of the antigen‐negative red blood cell supply conducted at a single centre in China

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to analyse the distribution and demand patterns of antigen‐negative red blood cells (RBCs) in Shandong Province, China (2022–2024), with a focus on ABO blood groups and clinically significant antigens. The research was designed to provide rigorous data for advancing precision transfusion protocols and to establish a ...

Functional validation of a modified platelet desialylation test for immune and hereditary thrombocytopenias

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Thrombocytopenia arises from heterogeneous inherited and acquired disorders, and identifying the underlying platelet clearance mechanisms remains challenging. Platelet desialylation, characterised by loss of sialic acid and consequent exposure of terminal β‐galactose residues recognised by the Ashwell–Morell receptor, represents an ...

Simple image analysis for reliability control of column agglutination test in pretransfusion testing

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives A novel meniscus‐based analysis provides a rapid method to identify analytical errors related to unrecognised pipetting errors. Background The indirect antihuman globulin test (IAT) is part of pretransfusion testing, enabling detection of erythrocyte alloantibodies.

Clinical implications of imlifidase interference in antibody screening and transfusion management

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Imlifidase has received conditional approval from the EMA for desensitizing deceased donor kidney transplant recipients. It works by cleaving IgG into F(ab′)2 and Fc fragments, thereby reducing the risk of antibody‐mediated rejection. However, its impact on diagnostic assays remains understudied. Case Report We present the case of a
