Platelet Additive Solutions SSP+ and T-PAS+ Are Interchangeable for Platelet Concentrate Storage despite Differences in Composition and Plasticizer.

Introduction: Platelet additive solutions support ex vivo storage of platelet concentrates used for transfusion. The composition of platelet additive solutions within one generation (i.e.

The Impact of Amotosalen Photochemical Pathogen Inactivation on Human Platelet Lysate.

Background: Human Platelet Lysate (hPL) is a platelet-derived and growth factor-rich supplement for cell culture. It can be prepared from surplus platelet concentrates initially intended for transfusion. Amotosalen-based photochemical pathogen inactivation of platelet concentrates is used in a number of blood establishments worldwide to minimize the risk of pathogen transmission from donor to patient.

Spatiotemporal coordination in children with unilateral cerebral palsy: Insights from a bimanual goal-directed task.

Background: In children with unilateral cerebral palsy (uCP), bimanual assessments mostly focus on qualitative assessments of the impaired upper limb during bimanual tasks, which do not capture the spatiotemporal coordination between both hands. Hence, we aimed to advance our understandings in spatiotemporal coordination in children with uCP compared to typically developing children (TDC) using a bimanual, asymmetrical, goal-directed task.

Participants And Methodology: In this observational study, thirty-seven children with uCP (11y8m±2y10m, 20 males, 16 right-sided uCP, Manual Ability Classification System level I = 23, II = 11, III = 3) and 37 age and sex-matched TDC opened a box with one hand and pressed a button inside using the opposite hand.
