Background: Some patients express concerns regarding receipt of allogeneic blood transfusions from donors potentially vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). However, limited information exists about patients' expression of these concerns or how to address them during the blood transfusion consent process. In this study, we describe our experience of working collaboratively with patients with vaccine-related transfusion concerns prior to elective surgery, summarizing treatment decisions and clinical outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- - The study synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using an environmentally friendly method with Batavia lettuce extract, allowing for a simple and rapid creation process.
- - Characterization revealed that the ZnO NPs have a small average diameter of 6 nm, a wurtzite crystalline structure, and emit blue fluorescence when excited, making them suitable for detecting ascorbic acid (AA).
- - The fluorescence sensing method showed high sensitivity and rapid detection capabilities for AA at a limit of 5.15 μM and maintained photostability, indicating its potential use in clinical analysis.
Background: Evaluations of critical bleeding and massive transfusion have focused on traumatic hemorrhage. However, most critical bleeding in hospitalized patients occurs outside trauma. The purpose of this study was to provide an in-depth description examining the critical administration threshold (CAT; ≥3 units red blood cells (RBCs) in a 1-h period) occurrences in nontraumatic hemorrhage.
