Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an intermediary state on the way to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Little known about whole brain concentration of neuronal marker, N-acetylaspartate (NAA) in MCI patients. Objective: To test hypot
Abstract Patients with severe autoimmune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) experience acute hematologic emergencies during disease flares and a lifelong threat for relapse. Rituximab, in addition to steroids therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), has been shown mitigate relapse risk. A barrier care initiating rituximab the inpatient setting presumed excessive cost of medication hospital. Retrospectively reviewing TTP admissions from 2004 2018 at our academic center, we calculated actual...
Summary Pathogen‐reduced (PR) platelets are routinely used in many countries. Some studies reported changes platelet and red blood cell (RBC) transfusion requirements patients who received PR when compared to conventional (CONV) platelets. Over a 28‐month period we retrospectively analysed utilisation, RBC trends, reaction rates data from all transfused adult at the Yale‐New Haven Hospital, New Haven, CT, USA. We determined number of components administered between 2 24, 48, 72 or 96 h. A...
Abstract Importance Neuromyelitis optica/neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder patients' response to therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is currently incompletely characterized. Objective Our study aims understand the clinical status improvement of neuromyelitis patients treated with TPE. Design, Setting, and Participants This a multicenter retrospective conducted between 1 January 2003 31 July 2017 at 13 US hospitals performing apheresis procedures. Subjects studied were diagnosed who...
Abstract Background The association between parasite burden and end‐organ dysfunction in subjects with Babesia microti infection has not been extensively studied, nor the optimal role of red blood cell exchange (RCE) transfusion babesiosis treatment. This retrospective chart review evaluates associations parasitemia, dysfunction, outcomes patients treated antimicrobial agents RCE compared to those alone. Materials Methods We evaluated adults (≥18 years age) laboratory‐confirmed who were...
Abstract Autologous hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) transplant through peripheral blood mobilization and leukapheresis is a standard treatment for many patients with malignancies. Although usually completed no complications, we present case in which the cells clotted during collection. The patient had history of hypercoagulopathy. It was identified that anticoagulant infusion line partially constricted by warmer clamp. machine did not alarm. Most multiple Food Drug Administration reports...
Abstract Managing anemia and acute blood loss in critical patients has long been reliant on the judicious use of red cell transfusions. The primary goal transfusion is efficient delivery oxygen to end organs, especially brain. Provided that appropriate guidelines are followed, allogenic transfusions considered a safe effective therapeutic option. Some refuse or decline due cultural and/or religious beliefs, with most well known being followers Jehovah’s Witnesses (JWs). For this patient...
