Article Synopsis
  • Autologous blood obtained during surgical hardware reinfusion is often contaminated with bacteria, predominantly from skin microflora, in up to 90% of cases, posing a risk for infection.
  • Adding cefuroxime to the blood collection process was found to eliminate bacterial growth in 100% of instances when administered initially.
  • Despite various decontamination methods, including washing and leukocyte filtration, some bacterial contamination remained, though the combination of these techniques with cefuroxime significantly reduced the risk of bacterial presence in processed blood samples.

Inflammatory cytokines are pivotal to immune responses. Upon cytokine exposure, cells enter an "alert state" that enhances their visibility to the immune system. Here, we identified an alert-state subpopulation of ribosomes defined by the presence of the P-stalk.
