Article Synopsis
- Graft versus host disease (GvHD) poses serious risks after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, especially in steroid-refractory cases.
- This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy for patients with late aGvHD and compares it to those with acute aGvHD.
- Results show that MSC treatment led to a higher response rate in late aGvHD patients, with 23.3% achieving complete response, and significantly lower non-relapse mortality at the 2-year follow-up compared to acute cases.
The use of apheresis equipment to collect platelets has rapidly increased in recent years. We compared two apheresis instruments (Haemonetics MCS + and Trima Accel) with regard to platelet (PLT) yield and efficiency, and collection rate (CR) in a retrospective study. Overall 120 data obtained by Haemonetics and Trima systems (N = 60 for each) were randomly selected among 400 plateletpheresis procedures performed at the Apheresis Unit of Kayseri Education and Research Hospital between July 2016 and January 2017.

- * A study evaluated the Trima Accel apheresis instrument, focusing on its platelet yield, collection efficiency, and collection rate among 110 donors.
- * Results showed that the Trima Accel effectively collected platelets, reporting a median yield of 3.7 million, an average efficiency of 74.99%, and a collection rate of 0.096 million per minute.
Platelet (PLT) transfusions play an important role in patients with thrombocytopenia or severely impaired platelet function. Platelet concentrates are prepared from whole-blood donations or by plateletpheresis. In recent years, different instruments have been developed to perform plateletpheresis.

Although peritoneal carcinomatosis accompanied by malignant ascites is relatively common, mantle cell lymphoma presenting with ascites is rare. Also, effusions involving pericardial and pleural cavities are uncommon during the course of lymphomas.

We compared three apheresis instruments (Fenwal Amicus, Fresenius COM.TEC, and Trima Accel) with regard to platelet (PLT) yield, collection efficiency (CE), and collection rate (CR).
