Rupture Forces among Human Blood Platelets at different Degrees of Activation [PDF]
, 2020 Little is known about mechanics underlying the interaction among platelets during activation and aggregation. Although the strength of a blood thrombus has likely major biological importance, no previous study has measured directly the adhesion forces of single platelet-platelet interaction at different activation states.

Sanguine: Visual Analysis for Patient Blood Management [PDF]
, 2020 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.

Asian Journal of Transfusion Science, 2015 Platelet transfusions have contributed to the revolutionary modern treatment of hypoproliferative thrombocytopenia. Despite the long-term application of platelet transfusion in therapeutics, all aspects of their optimal use (i.e., in cases of ABO and/or ...

Demand Forecasting for Platelet Usage: from Univariate Time Series to Multivariate Models [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 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).

Platelet antibody detection by flow cytometry: an effective method to evaluate and give transfusional support in platelet refractoriness [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Immune platelet refractoriness is mainly caused by human leukocyte antigen antibodies (80-90% of cases) and, to a lesser extent, by human platelet antigen antibodies.

Immersed boundary simulations of cell-cell interactions in whole blood [PDF]
, 2021 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
