Multiple apheresis makes it possible to obtain at least two labile blood components from a single donor using a cell separator. It can be either multicomponent apheresis leading to the preparation of at least two different blood component types or red blood cell apheresis providing two identical red blood cell concentrates. These techniques available in addition to whole blood donation, are modifying collection strategies in many Etablissements Français du Sang and will contribute to improve stock logistics in the future. In areas with insufficient stock, these procedures will help achieve blood component self-sufficiency. The author first describes the principle underlying different--current or future--techniques as well as their advantages and drawbacks. He finally addresses the potential impact of these processes on the evolution of blood collection and the advantages to be gained.

Background: We currently lack in the dementia field accurate, noninvasive, quick, and affordable screening tools for brain dysfunctions associated with early subtle risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Our Kentucky aging cohort demonstrates that asymptomatic older individuals with MCI-like frontal memory-related brainwave patterns convert to MCI within a short 5-year period, as opposed to individuals with NC-like patterns (1) that remain normal 10 years later (2). Astrocyte reactivity influences amyloid-ß effects on tau pathology in preclinical Alzheimer's disease (3).

Background: Luminal and hemodynamic evaluations of the cervical arteries inform the diagnosis and management of patients with cervical arterial disease.
Purpose: To demonstrate a 3D nonenhanced quantitative quiescent interval slice-selective (qQISS) magnetic resonance angiographic (MRA) strategy that provides simultaneous hemodynamic and luminal evaluation of the cervical arteries.

Elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels are increasingly recognized as a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and may also contribute to atrial fibrillation (AF). This review investigated the indirect mechanisms through which Lp(a) may influence AF, including proatherogenic, prothrombotic, and proinflammatory pathways. Traditional lipid-lowering therapies, such as lifestyle modifications and statins, have limited effects on Lp(a) levels.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening systemic hyperinflammatory syndrome, rarely associated with bone marrow failure (BMF). Telomere biology disorders (TBD) are caused by inherited defects in telomerase processes and can have heterogeneous presentations including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cirrhosis, and BMF. We report a case of a 10-year-old male from Lima, Peru, who presented with HLH as the initial manifestation of a TBD.
