Background: Adherence to optimal practices in the preparation and issuance of pediatric blood components can significantly influence patient care outcomes. This study aims to examine the blood banking procedures across prominent Italian children's hospitals, with the goal of identifying both consistent and potentially divergent standards within this field.
Materials And Methods: A survey was conducted among the blood banks affiliated with the Italian Association of Pediatric Hospitals.
Article Synopsis
- * Key genes related to copper metabolism, such as APP and SOD1, are found to be altered in CRC, with increased levels of APP protein in cancer tissues and changes in copper distribution between serum and tissues.
- * The study highlights a significant relationship between copper imbalance and CRC progression, suggesting that targeting copper-related proteins could be beneficial for understanding and potentially treating this cancer.
Background: Iatrogenic anaemia caused by repeated blood sampling to monitor laboratory parameters can contribute, particularly in neonates, to the need for transfusion. "Point of care" laboratory equipment uses smaller amounts of blood for analytic determinations and could, therefore, help to prevent secondary anaemia. In this study we compared the results of haematological parameters measured using a standard laboratory method and using a "point of care" micromethod, with the aim of validating the use of this latter method in clinical practice in neonatology.
