Adenine- and riboxine-containing erythropifaden has been studied for possibility to be used for restoring a functional value of erythrocytes in conserved donor blood stored for 35-49 days. Energy supply and oxygen transport function of erythrocytes are shown to get normal and their morphological composition--to get considerably improved. Besides, osmotic resistance and deformability of erythrocytes insignificantly change while concentration of riboxine in blood and that of substances with average molecular mass remain considerably high. One of the ways to remove the above shortcomings is application of hemosorbents.

Molecules of the tumour necrosis factor superfamily (TNFSF) are key players in immune regulation; an increase in some TNFSF molecules has been reported during severe COVID-19. In this study, we profiled and evaluated TNFSF members in the serum of COVID-19 vaccine-naïve patients to identify potential biomarkers associated with disease severity. Our data show that TRAIL serum levels are lower in severely affected patients than those mildly affected by COVID-19 (AUC 0.

Volumetric muscle loss (VML) refers to muscle tissue loss exceeding 20% within a functional area due to trauma or surgery, often leading to physical disabilities. VML treatment relies on the transplantation of autologous flaps harvested from a healthy-donor site while minimizing the probability of immune rejection. However, this approach often leads to donor-site morbidity and relies on a restricted supply of muscle tissue.

Background: Donors on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) may require frequent whole blood donation due to erythrocytosis, but FDA guidelines prevent the transfusion of plasma-based products from these donors. This study surveyed TRT donor testosterone levels in whole blood components and evaluated a possible mitigation strategy with a pathogen reduction technology using UVA light and compound adsorption device (CAD) steps.
Study Design And Methods: Whole blood from male TRT donors and controls were processed into red blood cells and plasma components.

Background: We investigated whether frequent apheresis donors have altered risk of bone fractures, and prescription of osteoporosis medicine//s due to their repeated exposure to citrate anticoagulant.
Methods: We used the Sax Institute's 45 and Up Study data linked with blood donation and other health-related datasets. We used a "5-year qualification period" method to identify active donors who donated at least one (any type) donation in the first and fifth year of the "qualification period.

Introduction: Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a curative option for relapse/refractory (R/R) lymphomas that have failed autologous transplantation or for high-risk lymphomas in the upfront setting. We conducted a retrospective analysis on consecutive lymphoma patients who underwent allo-HSCT over a 20-year period (2003- 2022) at Singapore General Hospital and National University Hospital Singapore.
Method: A total of 121 patients were included in the study.
