Demand Forecasting for Platelet Usage: from Univariate Time Series to Multivariate Models [PDF]
Platelet products are both expensive and have very short shelf lives. As usage rates for platelets are highly variable, the effective management of platelet demand and supply is very important yet challenging. The primary goal of this paper is to present an efficient forecasting model for platelet demand at Canadian Blood Services (CBS).

Evaluation of Changes in Platelet Level and Influenced Factors in Patients with Thrombocytopenia
Background: Hemostasis is a hemodynamic process in which the platelet play a major role. Platelet transfusion is one of the effective treatments in patients with thrombocytopenia, which has been increased during the recent decades.

Background Chronic liver disease (CLD) is often complicated by severe thrombocytopenia (platelet count 50,000/µL at baseline: the proportions of patients who did not require platelet transfusion were 84–96%, which might be overestimated.

Immersed boundary simulations of cell-cell interactions in whole blood [PDF]
We present a new method for the geometric reconstruction of elastic surfaces simulated by the immersed boundary method with the goal of simulating the motion and interactions of cells in whole blood. Our method uses parameter-free radial basis functions for high-order meshless parametric reconstruction of point clouds and the elastic force computations

Effects of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers on blood coagulation. [PDF]
For many decades, Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) have been central in the development of resuscitation agents that might provide oxygen delivery in addition to simple volume expansion.

All clinically-relevant blood components transmit prion disease following a single blood transfusion: a sheep model of vCJD [PDF]
Variant CJD (vCJD) is an incurable, infectious human disease, likely arising from the consumption of BSE-contaminated meat products. Whilst the epidemic appears to be waning, there is much concern that vCJD infection may be perpetuated in humans by the ...
