Prophylactic vs therapeutic blood transfusions impact on pregnant sickle cell patients.
Pak J Med Sci
January 2025
Khalid Khalil Security Forces Hospital Makkah, Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
Objective: To observe the fetomaternal outcome of therapeutic versus prophylactic blood transfusions in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) during pregnancy.
Method: This single-center retrospective observational study was conducted on consecutive pregnant women with SCD between January 2018 and December 2020. All the pregnant women with SCD were included in this study.
Alloanti-Hy in antenatal patients: A multi-case review.
Transfus Med
January 2025
RCI, NHSBT, Filton, UK.
Introduction: Introduction The Hy antigen is one of ten red cell antigens belonging to the Dombrock blood group system, with an antigen frequency of almost 100% in the majority of populations. Alloantibodies to high prevalence antigens cause difficulties with antibody identification and exclusion in serological investigations.
Case Presentation: This review describes the management of four antenatal cases where the presence of alloanti-Hy had been identified.
Thrombocytopenia in Critically Ill Children: A Review for Practicing Clinicians.
Children (Basel)
January 2025
Division of Critical Care Medicine, Nicklaus Children's Hospital, 3100 SW 62nd Avenue, Miami, FL 33155, USA.
Thrombocytopenia frequently occurs in patients before, during, and after admission to Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs). In critically ill children, it is often due to multifactorial causes and can be a sign of significant organ dysfunction. This review summarizes the potential causes/mechanisms of thrombocytopenia in acutely ill children, their identification, and treatments, with special attention paid to septic patients.

Section of Haematology, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan.
Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) is a rare subtype of hemolytic anemia characterized by elevated hemolytic markers and red blood cell destruction. Though uncommon, MAHA can occur as a complication of acute pancreatitis because of the associated inflammatory response. Patients with MAHA secondary to pancreatitis show favorable outcomes when treated with plasma exchange.

Sci Rep
January 2025
Graduate Program in Medical Technology, Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, Thammasat University, Pathumthani, 12120, Thailand.
Serological typing of MNS polymorphic antigens - M, N, S and s - remains a fundamental technique in transfusion medicine and prenatal care, providing essential information for matching blood donors and recipients and managing haemolytic disease. Although this method is well proven and routinely used, it is not a comprehensive solution, as it has several weaknesses. Alternatively, multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a commonly used genotyping tool due to its potency and ability to amplify several DNA targets simultaneously in a single reaction.
