Subsarcolemmal (SS) and interfibrillar (IF) cardiac mitochondrial respiratory activities were examined under conditions of isovolemic hemodilution in rats. Experimental animals (mean Hct, 21%) had significantly higher cardiac indices than controls (mean Hct, 41.5%) 18 hours following isovolemic hemodilution with 0.9% NaCl. A 40% increase in cardiac output was associated with a significant increase in the respiratory control index (RCI) of the IF mitochondria. This increase in IF RCI occurred as a result of a significant decline in the ADP-independent (State 4) respiratory rate. These data demonstrate the ability of cardiac mitochondria to respond to increased myocardial demand by increasing mitochondrial efficiency and support the concept of subspecialized populations of mitochondria within the myocardial cell.

Red cell exchange is important to treat acutely ill sickle cell patients, but it is time-consuming. An automated red cell exchange technique using cell separators developed by different manufacturers helps in removal of sickled hemoglobin and improving blood viscosity. The use of these cell separators permits automated red cell exchange to be performed safely and smoothly with the isovolemic hemodilution.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether a higher post-procedure hematocrit (Hct) after red cell exchange in sickle cell disease (SCD) affects reticulocyte counts, which are important for predicting SCD complications.
- Researchers analyzed data from 17 patients who underwent two types of red cell exchange procedures and found that post-procedure Hct levels were not linked to changes in reticulocyte counts or sickle hemoglobin levels.
- The study suggests that factors like gender and white blood cell counts may influence reticulocyte counts, and recommends considering different treatment approaches, such as isovolemic hemodilution or hydroxyurea, for patients with elevated blood cell counts
Revisiting the benefits of isovolemic hemodilution red cell exchange for sickle cell disease.

Background: Isovolemic hemodilution red cell exchange (IHD-RCE) is a modified form of the standard red cell exchange (STD-RCE), intended to reduce red cell requirements in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). This retrospective crossover analysis of nine patients aims to add to the limited existing literature on IHD-RCE and address the equipoise regarding whether the benefits of (a) decreased RBC usage per exchange and (b) increased interprocedure interval (via lower fraction of cells remaining, FCR) can be observed at the same time, in the same patient.
Methods: At a single center, we identified 37 patients with SCD undergoing chronic RCE between 2014 and 2021.
Interventions for acute non-arteritic central retinal artery occlusion.

Section of Ophthalmology, VA Medical Center, Providence, Rhode Island, USA.
Background: Acute non-arteritic central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) occurs as a sudden interruption of the blood supply to the retina and typically results in severe loss of vision in the affected eye. Although many therapeutic interventions have been proposed, there is no generally agreed upon treatment regimen.
Objectives: To assess the effects of treatments for acute non-arteritic CRAO.
