Type and Significance of Transfunded Blood Products.

Background: Blood transfusion is when blood and blood products are given to patients during medical treatment. Nowadays, transfusion centers worldwide constantly face the same challenge: how to provide sufficient quantities of high-quality and safe preparations for each patient at the right time.

Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the number of transfused patients,the amount and type of blood products in the Polyclinic of Transfusion in the period from 01.

Significance of Detecting Antierythrocyte Antibodies in Pretransfusion Testing.

Background: Transfusion treatment during life, as well as pregnancy in women, can stimulate the sensitization of the person who received blood, which after the transfusion of blood products can result in the occurrence of moderate to very severe posttransfusion reactions.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the specificity and frequency of antierythrocyte antibodies during the pretransfusion treatment of patients depending on the gender, to determine the origin of antibodies in patients serum, as well as to examine their clinical significance.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of documentation was performed in the Department for Pretransfusion Testing, therapy and distribution of blood products, Polyclinic for Transfusion, UKC Tuzla.

Seroprevalence of Transmisive Diseases in Healthy Blood Donors: a Five-year Experience in University Clinical Center Tuzla.

Background: The safety of blood products is the most important task of transfusion medicine. Transfusion-transmitted diseases represent a serious public health problem throughout the world, although their percentage of transmission is minimal. Each blood donation is individually tested with serological and molecular tests for the presence of hepatitis B and C viruses, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and Treponema Pallidum, regardless of the number of blood donations.

Frequency of superficial and deep vein thrombosis in patients with variations of superficial veins of lower extremities.

Unlabelled: Anatomical variations of veins often play a crucial role in formation of thrombotic changes in superficial and deep veins of lower extremities. THE AIM of this study was to determine the frequency of the dominant type of the lower extremity superficial veins, and to determine the eventual influence of such variations to the formation of superficial and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Material And Methods: The sample used in this study consisted of 180 patients subjected to ascedent contrast phlebography of lower extremities.

Prognostic significance of bone-marrow pattern and immunophenotypic score in B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia at diagnosis.

Introduction: The clinical course and outcome of B-CLL is various and so far unpredictible. Defining prognostic parameters potentiating division of patients in groups with favorable and unfavorable prognosis which could help the benefit assessment of early treatment, improve treatment effects, and potentiate treatment modification for each patient.

Aim: To analyze the bone-marrow (BM) pattern and immunophenotypic score at diagnosis of B-CLL and determine the correlation of BM pattern with the clinical stage of disease and immunophenotypic score.
