Pathology and Clinical Governance, Australian Red Cross Lifeblood, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Background And Objectives: Serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and total protein are used to monitor plasmapheresis donor safety. However, there is a lack of information from large donor cohorts to determine the best use of these measurements.
Materials And Methods: We identified 230,144 plasmapheresis donors making their first donation between 1 July 2020 and 31 March 2024.
Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Pterygium Surgery Using a Customized Algorithm for Trapezoidal Conjunctival Grafts.
Cornea
January 2025
Tissue Engineering & Cell Therapy Group, Singapore Eye Research Institute, Singapore.
Purpose: Conjunctival autografts (CAGs) are the gold standard treatment after pterygium resection, but it is challenging to achieve consistently thin Tenon-free CAGs with manual dissection. We herein report the reproducibility and clinical outcomes of a novel algorithm to produce customizable trapezoidal CAGs using femtosecond laser (femtosecond lasers)-assisted pterygium surgery.
Methods: We first tested this algorithm in 4 pig eyes to show reproducibility.
Unicoronal synostosis is a rare condition leading to anterior plagiocephaly with facial scoliosis and deformation of the anterior cranial fossa. Fronto-orbital advancement and remodelling (FOAR) is the standard of care for management, aiming to normalise the brow shape and position while ameliorating the risk of raised intracranial pressure (ICP) throughout childhood. Published long-term surgical outcome data for unicoronal synostosis is lacking.

J Clin Endocrinol Metab
January 2025
Université Paris Cité, Institut Cochin, CNRS, INSERM, Paris, France.
Context: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by the presence of autoantibodies on a genetic background largely determined by HLA class II haplotypes. Stage 1 T1D is characterized by the presence of multiple autoantibodies and normoglycemia.
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of high-risk HLA-DQB1 haplotypes and the extent of islet autoimmunity in pancreatic tissues from non-diabetic organ donors with autoantibodies.
