Efficient granulocyte collection method using high concentrations of medium molecular weight hydroxyethyl starch
CONCLUSION: Therefore, we propose a granulocyte collection approach employing HES130/0.4, which is comparable to the use of hHES in terms of the granulocyte CE. A high concentration of HES130/0.4 in the separation chamber was considered crucial for granulocyte collection.PMID:37293978 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17450 (Source: Transfusion)

Prevalence of Blood Group Antigens among regular blood donors: A single centre study from South India with a Review of national literature
A database of blood group phenotype of donors not only helps in timely provision of red cell components to required patients but also helps in understanding the phenotype frequencies of that population. Blood group antigen frequencies are not the same among all the populations. It varies across different regions as well as ethnic groups. The possibility of an individual developing an antibody after exposure to a red cell antigen which an individual lacks depends on various factors like age, immune status, disease state of the individual, immunogenicity of the antigen, duration of transfusion therapy, environmental factors ...

Transfusion in hemoglobinopathies and red blood cell alloimmunization: data from Sicily, Sardinia and Malta
DISCUSSION: From our study, certain indications can be formulated: 1) complete the National Registry for patients with hemoglobinopathies; 2) create a Registry of alloimmunized patients to ensure transfusion therapy is as safe as possible, considering antibody evanescence; and 3) increase the recruitment of blood donors of diverse ethnicities.PMID:37235738 | DOI:10.2450/BloodTransfus.465 (Source: Blood Transfusion)
