A 3-step method for preparing cryopreserved samples of apheresis products for post-thaw analysis yields a higher percentage of viable cells
DISCUSSION: Slow, step-wise dilutions of freshly thawed samples of cryopreserved apheresis products to 1:20 yielded higher and more precise viability measurements compared to quickly washing samples to remove DMSO.PMID:38606842 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17822 (Source: Transfusion)

Comparison of two autologous hematopoietic stem cell mobilization strategies in patients with multiple myeloma: CE plus G-CSF versus G-CSF only: A single-center retrospective analysis
DISCUSSION: G-CSF only mobilization is a useful option in selected patients with comorbidities and an increased risk of serious infections, especially in the wintertime or in future pandemics.PMID:38600674 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17829 (Source: Transfusion)

Prevalence and clinical implications of heightened plastic chemical exposure in pediatric patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass
DISCUSSION: Pediatric cardiac surgery patients are exposed to phthalate chemicals from plastic medical products, and the degree of exposure increases in the context of CPB with an RBC-based prime. Additional studies are warranted to measure the direct effect of phthalates on patient health outcomes and investigate mitigation strategies to reduce exposure.PMID:38590100 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17821 (Source: Transfusion)

A portable surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor for the detection of immunoglobulin A in plasma
In conclusion, we developed a reliable POC assay for the quantification of IgA in plasma. This test may permit POC testing at blood drives and centralized centers to maintain reserves of IgA-deficient blood and in-hospital testing of blood recipients.PMID:38591151 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17818 (Source: Transfusion)
