Background: Transfusion-associated hypotension (TAH) is characterized by the abrupt onset of hypotension immediately after the start of transfusion and usually resolves when transfusion ceases. The pathogenesis of TAH is not yet fully understood.
Methods: A 36-year-old woman underwent exploratory laparotomy and cesarean section due to cervical squamous cell carcinoma.

Background: Although alloimmunization risk of pathogen-reduced (PR) platelets has been studied, the risk has not been reported with PR red blood cells (RBCs).
Study Design And Methods: In a Phase III, randomized, controlled trial (Red Cell Pathogen Inactivation), cardiac or thoracic-aorta surgery patients were randomized to transfusion with amustaline/glutathione PR versus conventional RBCs. Pre-transfusion and Day 28 samples were evaluated for Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) Class I and Class II antibodies at low, medium, and high cutoff values.

Introduction: Accurate platelet (PLT) counting is crucial for disease diagnosis and treatment, especially under the condition of thrombocytopenia and platelet transfusion. A few PLT counting approaches have been established including impedance and fluorescent methods. The impedance PLT counting (PLT-I) approach could be interfered by small non-PLT particles in the blood, such as RBC/WBC fragments, microcytes, bacteria, and cryoglobulins.

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for adrenal glands is becoming increasingly developed worldwide and robotic surgery has advanced significantly. Although there are still concerns about the generalization of outcomes and the cost burden, the robotic platform shows several advantages in overcoming some laparoscopic shortcomings. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted using the PubMed, MEDLINE and Cochrane library databases of published articles comparing RA and LA up to January 2024.

Background: Ethylenediamine tetraacetate/glycine acid (EGA) and chloroquine diphosphate (CDP) are used in transfusion testing to dissociate IgG antibodies from red blood cells (RBCs). However, the ability of these reagents to dissociate IgM antibodies sensitized to RBCs has not been comprehensively elucidated. We investigated whether EGA and CDP could dissociate cold-reactive antibodies from RBCs and their effect on RBCs after dissociation treatment.
