The distribution pattern of particle contamination in nine different types of LV parenteral solutions and the possibility of correlating the counts made with two official instruments (Coulter Counter and HIAC) were studied. Two hundred containers of LV parenteral solutions (corresponding to 40 batches) produced in Italy, were sampled. Each bottle was submitted to HIAC and Coulter Counter countings, for particle sizes ranging between 2 and 25 micron. For about 50% of the products, the two straight lines that represent the distribution of particle contamination obtained with the two methods did not cross-over within the studied size range, the Coulter Counter counts always proving higher than the HIAC ones. In the other cases, the cross-over point of the two lines occurred at varying size levels. Statistical analysis of the results pointed to a relationship between the contamination values obtained with the two counting methods for sizes ranging between 2 and 5 micron, but there was no correlation for sizes equal to, or higher than, 10 micron. From the maximum contamination levels established by the BP and the FU IX for the HIAC method, the corresponding values were calculated for the Coulter Counter method. Similarly the values were calculated the HIAC method based on the maximum values set for the Coulter Counter.

Background And Objectives: Objective of the study is to explore the possibility of utilization of seven part fully automated hematology analyzer for enumeration of residual leukocytes (residual white blood cells [rWBCs]) in leukoreduced packed red cells (LR-PRCs) prepared from whole blood at a blood center as an alternate to the gold standard method, flow cytometry. In this study, we evaluate the performance characteristic of hematology analyzer against flow cytometry for the estimation of rWBCs in 39 LR-PRC units.
Materials And Methods: PRCs prepared from whole blood donations by 39 donors were leukoreduced and their volumes were noted.

Objective: Acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV) is the liquid-to-gas phase transition of perfluorocarbon (PFC) droplets to microbubbles upon ultrasound insonation. After ADV, gases dissolved in the surrounding fluid diffuse into microbubbles, enabling oxygen scavenging. Characterization of oxygen scavenging and transition efficiency (TE) in whole blood has so far been limited.

Introduction: Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a congenital haemolytic disorder, resulting from plasma membrane protein deficiency of red blood cells (RBCs). Typical pathological signs are anemia, jaundice, and splenomegaly; in newborns, jaundice is the main symptom.
Material And Methods: This study focused on the state of art about the HS diagnosis, from traditional to innovative methods, including diagnostic algorithms that can be applied for pediatric and adult patients, for different laboratory diagnostic levels.

Objectives: Silicone oil (SO) is a commonly used intraocular tamponade in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). SO emulsification is a common complication after SO injection. This study aimed to investigate correlations between SO emulsification signs on ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and the real number/size of SO droplets.

Article Synopsis
- - This study evaluates various methods for counting yeast and bacteria cells together to save time and resources compared to traditional methods that analyze them separately.
- - Different ratios of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and bacteria (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum) were tested, with results showing that flow cytometry and Coulter Counter worked well for yeast counts, while some methods struggled with bacterial counts, especially at higher yeast concentrations.
- - The research highlights that while some methods provide similar results for both cell types, others exhibit significant differences, emphasizing that each method has its own pros and cons depending on the ratio of yeast to bacteria.
