Spatiotemporal Patterns and Socioeconomic Determinants of Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Piauí, Northeast Brazil, 2001–2024

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) remains a major public health problem, strongly associated with social and territorial inequalities. This study aimed to analyse temporal trends, spatiotemporal transmission patterns and socioeconomic determinants of PTB in the state of Piauí, Northeast Brazil, from 2001 to 2024.

Residual risk of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C, and hepatitis B following implementation of sexual risk behavior‐based screening in Canada

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In 2022, Canadian Blood Services implemented a gender‐neutral sexual behavior‐based screening (SBBS) approach to donor deferral, replacing time‐based criteria targeting gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM) and female partners of gbMSM. We assessed the impact of this policy change on human immunodeficiency virus (

Using unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) to improve access to blood in low‐ and middle‐income countries: Current challenges and opportunities

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Blood transfusion is life‐saving for patients in emergencies, but low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) often face a severe shortage of banked blood. Establishing blood banks in rural areas presents substantial logistical and economic challenges for many LMICs.

Serological screening for cytomegalovirus in a leucodepleted blood supply: A systematic review

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Cytomegalovirus (CMV) causes harm in at‐risk populations. Selection of seronegative donors has been used to prevent transmission. Leucodepletion reduces the potential for CMV transmission; however, the residual risk is uncertain, leading to variability in practice.

Comparing specificity and seroconversion sensitivity among major blood screening assays for human immunodeficiency virus and viral hepatitis

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Accurate detection of transfusion‐transmissible infections, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C and B viruses (HCV/HBV), is critical to ensure blood safety, and screening assays must demonstrate high specificity and sensitivity.

Re‐entry of donors deferred for false‐reactive screening tests in Canada: 10 years post implementation

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Canadian Blood Services implemented a re‐entry programme in 2014. Donors deferred because of false‐reactive or indeterminate screening tests can provide a specimen for re‐entry testing 6 months after their initial test, and resume donating if they test negative for all infectious markers.

An innovative modelling proposal for the blood supply chain

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Whole‐blood donation and apheresis are the only ways to obtain blood components for human use. Tools are being developed to improve the efficiency of blood donation systems by reducing waste, increasing donations and preventing shortages.

Examining prosocial tendencies in men who have sex with men: Potential impacts on blood donation following the 2023 reform

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Men who have sex with men (MSM) historically faced legal restrictions in accessing blood donation systems. While recent policy changes aim to reduce discriminatory barriers, empirical evidence on prosocial engagement patterns among MSM remains limited.
