Article Synopsis
- - New antibody investigation algorithm (AIA) significantly reduced potential false-positive warm autoantibody (WAA) cases from 11% to 6% by categorizing ambiguous cases as 'antibody of undetermined significance' (AUS).
- - Analysis of patient data from 2017-2021 showed no transition from AUS to potential WAA with the new AIA, although some patients developed specific alloantibodies like anti-E and anti-C.
- - Implementing the new AIA led to more efficient use of resources and less need for phenotypically matched red blood cells, but it remains important to rule out clinically significant antibodies before classifying cases as AUS.
Article Synopsis
- Reducing the shelf-life of red blood cells (RBCs) from 42 days to 35 and 28 days was studied to evaluate its effects on blood supply chain management.
- The study found that a shorter shelf-life significantly increased the outdate rate of RBCs and the amount of outdated redistributed units in two Canadian health authorities.
- Overall, decreasing the shelf-life led to more outdated RBCs and higher emergency (STAT) orders, suggesting that current inventory management strategies were not effective in addressing these issues.
Primary lymphoma concurrent with teratoma of the ovary is exceedingly rare. Based on our review of the literature, there are only 8 case reports describing concurrent primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and teratoma. Here, we report the first case of primary follicular lymphoma concurrent with mature ovarian cystic teratoma, which, to our knowledge, has not been described in the literature.

We report a study to evaluate incidence and outcomes, both short and long-term, of RVI in children receiving HSCT. Between January 2000 and December 2012, 844 patients underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) at the Hospital for Sick Children: 491 were allogeneic and 353 were autologous.

Material And Method: Nine children with SAA (7 matched-sibling donor-SCT, 1 matched-unrelated donor-SCT and 1 haploidentical-SCT) underwent allo-SCT between October 2002 and September 2010.
Heavy proteinuria following dengue hemorrhagic fever.
Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health
May 2011
We report a case of nephrotic range proteinuria with 24-hour urine protein level of 335.7 mg/kg/day which developed following dengue hemorrhagic fever. Due to prolonged hypoalbuminemia from renal loss, right pleural effusion persisted and required pleuracentesis.

Case Report: The authors report a spontaneous subgaleal hematoma in a 9-year-old girl without scalp injury.
Twenty-eight adolescents with menorrhagia by pictorial blood loss assessment chart (PBAC) criteria were investigated for underlying hemostatic defect. CBC, ABO blood group, bleeding time, APTT, PT, TT FVIII:C, VWF:Ag, RiCoF and platelet aggregation study were evaluated. Six patients (21.
