May 19th, 2020 - Alloimmunisation and haemolytic transfusion reactions (HTRs) can occur in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) despite providing phenotype-matched red blood cell (RBC) transfusions. Variant RBC antigen gene alleles/polymorphisms can lead to dis...

May 1st, 2020 - The high incidence of septic transfusion reactions (STRs) led to testing being mandated by AABB from 2004. This was implemented by primary culture of single-donor apheresis platelets (APs) from 2004 and prestorage pooled platelets (PSPPs) from 200...

Apr 20th, 2020 - Acute transfusion reactions can manifest in many forms including acute hemolytic transfusion reaction, allergic reaction and transfusion-related acute lung injury. We previously developed an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction rat model mediated ...

Mar 30th, 2020 - The use of blood and blood components is an essential and effective treatment for many patients, but the transmission of infectious agents via transfusion and the occurrence of non-infectious transfusion reactions (TRs) are unavoidable. The object...

Apr 26th, 2018 - Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions remain essential in the treatment of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) and β-thalassemia. Alloimmunization, a well-documented complication of transfusion, increases the risk of delayed hemolytic transfusion ...

May 5th, 2020 - Where oral therapy is not feasible, injectable corticosteroid therapy, including Kenalog-40 Injection (triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension, USP) are indicated for intramuscular use as follows: Allergic states: Control of severe or incapa...

May 4th, 2020 - When oral therapy is not feasible and the strength, dosage form, and route of administration of the drug reasonably lend the preparation to the treatment of the condition, the intramuscular use of DEPO-MEDROL Sterile Aqueous Suspension is indicate...

Aug 2nd, 2019 - Women with preeclampsia were found to be at the highest risk for transfusion reactions when receiving a blood transfusion post partum, according to results from a retrospective study. Additionally, all women who received a transfusion postpartum w.

Aug 2nd, 2019 - The risk of transfusion reactions was twice as high for women requiring blood to treat postpartum hemorrhage compared with nonpregnant women who also required a blood transfusion during the same time period, a Swedish retrospective study showed. M...

Dec 15th, 2017 - Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is characterized by the temperature at which the auto-antibody has the greatest avidity for the target red cell antigen, either warm or cold forms. It is detected by a positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT) also.

Apr 5th, 2017 - SAN ANTONIO – It was safe to skip preoperative blood type and antibody screening before vaginal and robotic apical prolapse surgeries at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, so long as the women didn’t have hemorrhage risk factors. The r.
