Five commonly available blood transfusion sets, the Fenwall Blood Recipient set, the Abbott HEMAR Y-type Blood Set, the Bentley Infusion Blood Set (PFF-100), the Medex Hi-Flo TraumaR Quad Set (MX 884) and the Pall Ultipor Transfusion Set with Filter are compared. Flow rates and lifespan are evaluated by measuring the time required for 150 mL aliquots of homogeneous units of human red blood cells to pass through the devices under 300 mmHg constant pressure. Microfiltration of blood is briefly reviewed.

Background: Cancer cachexia in breast cancer (BC) patients is not commonly reported, particularly in Indonesia. This study assessed the prevalence of cachexia in local patients with BC receiving chemotherapy, and the associated factors.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 160 BC patients who started chemotherapy between July 2018 and June 2022.

Introduction: Sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in neonatal foals. Administration of appropriate antimicrobials and early aggressive supportive treatment is central to the efficacious treatment of neonatal sepsis and has proven to positively influence outcomes. The primary aim of our study was to evaluate microorganism results and antimicrobial sensitivities of neonatal foals with a positive blood culture submitted to our intensive care unit (ICU) during 2005-2022.

Background: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the formation of a blood clot in the dural venous sinuses or cerebral veins. CVT presents a diverse array of clinical symptoms, making its diagnosis challenging. Understanding regional variations and specific risk factors associated with CVT is crucial, especially in low-resource settings like Somalia, where epidemiological data is limited and healthcare resources are scarce.

Background: Since the transcatheter valve-in-valve (ViV) procedure was introduced in 2007, a few cases of infective endocarditis (IE) following the ViV procedure have been reported, which can be predisposed by older age, pre-existing medical conditions, and procedural techniques. Paravalvular abscesses constitute a rare complication of IE, resulting from extending IE beyond the valve annulus, less commonly caused by species. This complication is more common in prosthetic valves, particularly bioprosthetic valves.

Hemangiosarcoma is a highly malignant tumor commonly affecting canines, originating from endothelial cells that line blood vessels, underscoring the importance of early detection. This canine cancer is analogous to human angiosarcoma, and the development of liquid biopsies leveraging cell-free DNA (cfDNA) represents a promising step forward in early cancer diagnosis. In this study, we utilized Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) to analyze fragment sizes and copy number alterations (CNAs) in cfDNA from 21 hemangiosarcoma-affected and 36 healthy dogs, aiming to enhance early cancer detection accuracy through machine learning models.
