Comparable bacterial growth in platelet concentrates suspended in plasma and platelet additive solution and improved detection of bacterial contamination using a new generation automated culture system
DISCUSSION: Comparable bacterial detection was observed in plasma-PC and PAS-PC with PC sampling performed at 36-h post blood collection. PC sampling at ≤36 h could result in faster detection of facultative pathogenic organisms with the VIRTUO system and improved PC safety.PMID:38456520 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17772 (Source: Transfusion)

The first two years of the use of low titer group O whole blood during French Military overseas operations: A retrospective study
CONCLUSION: LTOWB is transfused by the FMMS during overseas operations from the tactical MEDEVAC until Role 2 care. Deployment of LTOWB by the FMMS enables an early high-ratio plasma/RBC transfusion and an early platelet transfusion for combat casualties.PMID:38441209 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17776 (Source: Transfusion)

Successful treatment of severe passenger lymphocyte syndrome with efgartigimod synergy
DISCUSSION: The synergistic effect of efgartigimod with eltrombopag and romiplostim most likely resolved the patient's thrombocytopenia. This case represents a novel use of efgartigimod in the treatment of passenger lymphocyte syndrome following liver transplant.PMID:38425280 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17748 (Source: Transfusion)

Significant changes to AABB Standards: Updated quality system essentials
Transfusion. 2024 Feb 29. doi: 10.1111/trf.17773. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the late 1990s, AABB joined many other accrediting organizations in embracing a quality system approach to setting standards. This change, seen at the time as the new era of standards-setting, was marked by a shift from error detection to error prevention as the main emphasis. AABB termed the framework for this approach "quality system essentials (QSEs)." These QSEs were incorporated into all eight AABB Standards. The QSEs enhanced the existing technical requirements and have been updated regularly since then for all operational areas in whi...

Estimated median density identifies donor age and sex differences in red blood cell biological age
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides further evidence that there are inherent differences between the biological age profiles of RBCs between blood donors of different sex and age. Our findings further highlight that biological age may contribute to RBC quality during storage and that donor characteristics need to be considered when evaluating transfusion safety and efficacy.PMID:38420746 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17749 (Source: Transfusion)
