  1. 1. Towards a detailed understanding of the red blood cell storage lesion : and its consequences for in vivo survival following transfusion

    Författare :Andreas Hult; Christer Malm; Per-Arne Oldenborg; Martin L. Olsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Red blood cell; erythrocyte; transfusion; macrophage; phagocytosis; storage lesion; eryptosis; Class A scavenger receptor; transfusion medicine; transfusionsmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Red blood cells (RBCs) are vital for oxygen delivery to tissues and constitute the vast majority of all cells in blood. After leaving the red bone marrow as mature cells, RBCs have a lifespan of approximately 120 days before they are removed from the circulation by macrophages, mainly in the spleen and liver. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Dual roles for hepatic lectin receptors in the clearance of chilled platelets

    Författare :Viktoria Rumjantseva; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :platelet storage; Asialoglycoprotein receptor; GPIbα; αMβ2; transfusion; clearance;

    Sammanfattning : Platelets for transfusion are stored at room temperature because refrigerated platelets are cleared rapidly from circulation. Room temperature storage causes major inconveniences for blood banks and medical risks for recipients. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Blood donors' long-term health : implications for transfusion safety

    Författare :Gustaf Edgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Epidemiology; hemovigilance; neoplasms; mortality; blood donors; blood transfusion; transfusion safety;

    Sammanfattning : Continuous attention to transfusion safety through improvement of disease screening and donor selection has succeeded in reducing the risks of transfusion transmitted disease to practically immeasurable levels. Despite this progress, surprisingly little is known about disease occurrence among blood donors and whether there are possible long-term effects of repeated whole-blood or apheresis donation.

  5. 4. Prevention of transfusion transmitted infections : donor screening and characteristics of recipient populations

    Författare :Elsa Tynell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :HTLV-I and II; blood donor screening; transfusion recipients; case-mix; survival rates; false-reactive test results; cost effectiveness;

    Sammanfattning : Minimising the risk for transfusion transmitted infections (TTIs) relies on selection of safe donors, including microbiological screening, and avoidance of unnecessary transfusions. Blood donor screening for HTLV-I and II, was introduced in Sweden in 1994. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Transfusion in critically ill patients : short- and long-term outcomes

    Författare :Märit Halmin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : A blood transfusion is a common treatment for a range of conditions. Over 112 million blood transfusions are administered each year worldwide and many patients are thereby exposed to the possible risks associated with the procedure. LÄS MER
