An unusual case of reagent interference in transfusion medicine workup: Pan reactive indirect antiglobulin test caused by commercial saline solution.

Background: At the regional transfusion service in the Region of Southern Denmark, serological investigations are primarily carried out using column agglutination techniques. This case study examines an unusual instance of reagent interference in pretransfusion testing using column agglutination at the Hospital of Southern Denmark, Aabenraa.

Case Presentation: A 72-year-old male patient presented for pretransfusion testing prior to hernia surgery.

'Does this fecal microbiota transplant work?' Quality assurance of capsule based fecal microbiota transplant production.

Background: Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) is an effective treatment for recurring Clostridioides Difficile Infections (rCDI). FMT administered oral capsules (caFMT) offers several practical advantages to conventional liquid FMT. We began using caFMT in 2021 imported from an external institution.

Transient congenital hyperinsulinism and hemolytic disease of a newborn despite rhesus D prophylaxis: a case report.

Background: In neonates, rhesus D alloimmunization despite anti-D immunoglobulin prophylaxis is rare and often unexplained. Rhesus D alloimmunization can lead to hemolytic disease of the newborn with anemia and unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. In past reports, transient congenital hyperinsulinism has been described as a rare complication of rhesus D alloimmunization.

Time-related variation in IgG subclass concentrations in a group of healthy Danish adults.

Introduction: Immunoglobulin G subclass measurements are important for the diagnostic work-up of immunodeficiencies and immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) related diseases. It is currently unknown whether a single sampling is truly representative for an individual's IgG subclass concentrations. This study aimed to investigate whether IgG and IgG subclass concentrations in healthy individuals are stable over time.

Translation, validation, and usability of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis Bleeding Assessment Tool (Self-ISTH-BAT).

Background: Bleeding questionnaires are effective and recommended screening tools for potential bleeding disorder, but healthcare practitioner-administered bleeding assessment tools (expert-ISTH-BATs) are time-consuming. A patient-administered ISTH-BAT (self-ISTH-BAT) has been developed and validated. We translated, validated, and evaluated the usability of self-ISTH-BAT.

How do I establish a stool bank for fecal microbiota transplantation within the blood- and tissue transplant service?

Worldwide, there is a rising demand for thoroughly screened, high-quality fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) products that can be obtained at a reasonable cost. In the light of this evolving therapeutic area of the intestinal microbiota, both private and public stool banks have emerged. However, some of the larger difficulties when establishing stool banks are caused by the absence of or international disagreement on regulation and legislative formalities.
