Transfusion expert urges wider use of filtered blood
Filtering white cells from donor blood before a transfusion is much safer for patients and long overdue as a national standard for all surgical procedures, according to University of Rochester researchers who present their analysis in the April journal, Transfusion. View More (2007-04-04)
Research Will Push Forward Fight Against Leukaemia
A project which aims to make laboratory-grown leukaemia cells change form and then be used to prime a patient's own immune system to kill off malignant cells has begun in Edinburgh. If successful, the study could give clinicians a way of destroying residual leukaemic cells which are undetectable by microscope. The findings could be helpful in the treatment of acute myeloblastic leukaemia (AML),... View More (2002-10-25)
Cerebrospinal Fluid Restores Vision
A new method for visual impairment treatment has been discovered by researchers of the Institute of Human Brain, Russian Academy of Sciences. The patients suffering from visual impairment can be helped if a healthy donor's cerebrospinal fluid is introduced to the parent's vertebral canal - this method is called liquortransfusion. Physiologists have determined that the method is effective even... View More (2004-11-01)
Use of fresh red blood cells for transfusions for premature infants does not improve outcomes
Among premature, very low-birth-weight infants requiring a transfusion, use of fresh red blood cells (RBCs) compared with standard RBC transfusion practice did not improve clinical outcomes that included rates of complications or death, according to a study in the October 10 issue of JAMA.

Bioreactors might solve blood-platelet supply problems
It might be possible to grow human blood platelets in the laboratory for transfusion, according to a new study at The Ohio State University Medical Center. View More (2008-12-23)
Better blood transfusions for preterm babies
Results of new research from the University of Adelaide are a promising step forward in helping to improve the quality of life-saving blood transfusions for preterm babies, by reducing the likelihood of adverse inflammatory responses to the blood. View More (2012-11-26)
Antidepressants linked with increased risks after surgery
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) - among the most widely prescribed antidepressant medications - are associated with increased risk of bleeding, transfusion, hospital readmission and death when taken around the time of surgery, according to an analysis led by researchers at UC San Francisco and Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Mass.

Studies validating performance of Pall prion reduction technology presented at AABB
Prion diseases, such as variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD), the human form of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy or "mad cow" disease, are of growing concern to blood services worldwide because of the potential for transmission through transfusion from asymptomatic donors.

Proteomic analysis of immunocamouflaged surfaces
The transfusion of red blood cells (RBC) is a critical component in the treatment of a number of acute and chronic medical problems. View More (2012-05-29)
Potential risk identified in transfusions of platelets before bone marrow transplant
Research on blood transfusions points to a potential risk of transfusing donated platelets, especially to patients with bone marrow failure syndromes who are subsequently candidates for bone marrow transplantation. View More (2009-08-11)
Attention: Extra-hepatic manifestation of hepatitis C virus infection
In 1994, the team of Tchernev and Petrova from Alexandrovska Hospital in Sofia examined a female patient with liver cirrhosis caused by chronic Hepatitis C virus (HCV). View More (2008-01-17)
Restrictions on female plasma may not be warranted
Three years after the U.S. blood banking industry issued recommendations that discourage transfusing plasma from female donors because of a potential antibody reaction, Duke University Medical Center researchers discovered that female plasma actually may have advantages. View More (2010-02-11)
Store donated blood for more than 3 weeks? Say NO (nitric oxide)
Transfusion of donated blood more than three weeks old results in impaired blood vessel function, a new study of hospital patients shows. View More (2013-03-11)
Safety of antithrombotic treatment in acute coronary syndromes
The management of acute coronary syndromes (with or without ST segment elevation) requires the use of anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents (aspirin, clopidogrel and/or glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitors), beta-blockers, thrombolytics in some cases, and revascularization / reperfusion.

Study produces conflicting findings on the use of anti-anemia drug in cancer patients
Results from a phase III drug trial indicate that an anti-anemia drug did not significantly decrease the need for blood transfusions in patients not on chemotherapy, and decreased overall patient survival when compared to placebo. View More (2007-04-17)
Research provides insight into quality of stored blood used for transfusions
New research provides evidence for significant differences between new and old red blood cells used for transfusions and could provide a cheap, rapid and effective way to monitor the quality of blood supplies. View More (2011-05-23)
Study identifies characteristics of hospitals with low rates of surgical site infections
New research published in the December issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS) suggests that surgical procedures that are shorter in duration and the use of fewer blood transfusions characterize hospitals that have a lower incidence of surgical site infections (SSI).

Blood transfusions raise heart patients' infection and death risk — especially women
Blood transfusions save the lives of millions of heart surgery patients and others each year. But a new study suggests that patients who receive transfusions during heart bypass surgery have a higher risk of developing potentially dangerous infections, and dying, after their operation.

2 studies provide insight into stroke risk and prevention in young sickle cell anemia patients
Monthly blood transfusions combined with daily medication to remove the resulting excess iron remains the best approach for reducing the risk of recurrent strokes in young patients with sickle cell anemia. View More (2010-12-07)
Advanced therapy offers cure for relapsed cancer patient
Testicular cancer patients who do not respond to traditional therapy can be cured with high-dose chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant. View More (2007-07-26)
