Preanalytical variables influencing the interpretation and reporting of biological tests on blood samples of living and deceased donors for human body materials
AbstractWith the present paper, the Working Group on Cells, Tissues and Organs and other experts of the Superior Health Council of Belgium aimed to provide stakeholders in material of human origin with advice on critical aspects of serological and nucleic acid test (NAT) testing, to improve virological safety of cell- and tissue and organ donation. The current paper focusses on a number of preanalytical variables which can be critical for any medical biology examination: (1) sampling related variables (type of samples, collection of the samples, volume of the sample, choice of specific tubes, identification of tubes), (2) ...

Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 1783: Arboviral Risk Associated with Solid Organ and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Grafts: The Prophylactic Answers Proposed by the French High Council of Public Health in a National Context
r Nicolas de Lamballerie
Diseases caused by arboviruses are on the increase worldwide. In addition to arthropod bites, most arboviruses can be transmitted via accessory routes. Products of human origin (labile blood products, solid organs, hematopoietic stem cells, tissues) present a risk of contamination for the recipient if the donation is made when the donor is viremic. Mainland France and its overseas territories are exposed to a complex array of imported and endemic arboviruses, which differ according to their respective location. This narrative review describes the risks of acquiring certain arboviral diseases fr...

Barriers to Organ Donation: A Qualitative Study of Intensive Care Nurses' Experiences
CONCLUSIONS: Practical tasks represent challenges in the organ donation process that are not previously revealed. Actions to address these challenges should be prioritized to promote organ donation. Simulation-based training may optimize practical aspects of the organ donation process and implementation of simulation-based training should be assessed by future research.PMID:37523727 | DOI:10.1097/DCC.0000000000000596 (Source: Dimensions in Critical Care Nursing)
