Background: Red blood cell (RBC) aggregation can be initiated by calcium and tissue factor, which may independently contribute to microvascular and macrovascular thrombosis after injury and transfusion. Previous studies have demonstrated that increased blood storage duration may contribute to thrombotic events. The aims of this study were to first determine the effect of blood product components, age, and hematocrit (HCT) on the aggregability of RBCs, followed by measurement of RBC aggregability in two specific injury models including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and hemorrhagic shock.

A captive, 1-year-old, male Eurasian goshawk () weighing 0.85 kg and owned by a falconer was presented with a history of acute onset of weakness, dyspnea, diarrhea, and regurgitation of a fresh-thawed pigeon contaminated with acetamiprid, an insecticide used in the raptor enclosure. The raptor had eaten the contaminated pigeon approximately 10-12 hours earlier.

Article Synopsis
- This study reviews predictors of intra-abdominal injury in pediatric patients with blunt abdominal trauma using data from a Level II trauma center from 2018 to 2022.
- It found that while various clinical signs and laboratory results were present, a significant number of patients with intra-abdominal injuries (IAI) did not show abnormal lab results, highlighting the complexity in diagnosis.
- Key independent predictors for IAI included abdominal tenderness, abnormal plain x-rays, and positive ultrasound, suggesting that physical exams and imaging are critical in decision-making for CT scans, rather than relying solely on lab results.

Background: The impact of acute mountain sickness (AMS) on individuals ascending to plateaus, soon after exposure to high altitudes, is well-documented. However, the specific relationship between AMS and alterations in blood parameters remains unclear.
Methods: A total of 40 healthy volunteers were recruited.
