Collection efficiency (CE1) of cells refers to the number that are collected from total processed by apheresis device. Limited data available about CE1 when performing leukocytapheresis in nonmobilized donors for cellular therapy purposes. The aim our study was evaluate donor- and procedure-related characteristics might influence cells.Variables predicted were analyzed longitudinal linear regression a series 1071 procedures on 249 donors. Donor-related considered gender, age, blood volume,...
BACKGROUND The irradiation of red blood cells (RBCs) causes damage the RBC membrane with increased potassium (K) leak during storage compared nonirradiated units similar age. A previous in vitro study showed a mean reduction K 94 ± 5% adsorption filter (PAF). STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS prospective, single‐center, nonblinded, randomized controlled trial (RCT) was designed to evaluate safety and efficacy transfusing irradiated PAF. Patients 18 years age or older who received due...
Introduction A therapeutic apheresis (TA) database helps to increase knowledge about indications and type of procedures that are performed in clinical practice. The objective the present report was describe number TA were at our institution a 10‐year period, from 2007 2016. Material methods electronic created by transferring patient data medical records consultation forms into Microsoft Access developed exclusively for this purpose. Since 2007, prospective every procedure entered database....
Essential thrombocytosis (ET) is a chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the presence of and it can be complicated thrombotic and/or hemorrhagic events. Treatment options include low-dose aspirin cytoreductive agents such as hydroxyurea. In cases extreme thrombocytosis, therapeutic thrombocytapheresis useful procedure. We present case 61-year-old-man previously diagnosed with CALR-mutated ET, who develop acute myeloid leukemia. When recovering after induction chemotherapy, he...
BACKGROUND Peripheral venous access (PVA) devices for apheresis should be selected to provide enough flow with the least vein damage, but little information is available about PVA blood rates. The aim of this study was know rates provided by most frequent used in procedures. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS An experimental designed simulate a plasma exchange procedure using citrated whole (WB). Two steel needles (16‐ and 17‐gauge [G]) six plastic cannulas (16G, 17G, two 18G, 20G, 22G) were analyzed....
Abstract Background and aims Familial inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) history is a controversial prognostic factor in IBD. We aimed to evaluate the impact of familial IBD on use medical surgical treatments biological era. Methods Patients included prospectively maintained ENEIDA database diagnosed with after 2005 were included. forms defined as those cases at least one first-degree relative Disease phenotype, agents, or main outcomes. Results A total 5263 patients [2627 Crohn’s (CD); 2636...
Abstract Introduction After percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), patients with diabetes have a worse prognosis than non-diabetics and are at increased risk of recurrent cardiovascular events, hospitalization higher mortality. Purpose The aim our study was to evaluate the impact cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in this high-risk group patients. Methods We performed retrospective cohort 318 consecutive type 2 mellitus (DM2) who underwent PCI hospital between 2004 2011. classified two cohorts...
Abstract Background Incomplete revascularization versus complete in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with higher risk of mortality and major adverse cardiac events. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) one the most important evidence-based interventions for secondary prevention after ischemic heart disease. However, it has been less studied incomplete PCI. Purpose The aim our study was to evaluate effects CR on long-term clinical outcomes Methods Unicentric,...
