Cold‐stored platelets have better preserved contractile function in comparison with room temperature‐stored platelets over 21 days

Mosaic and partial monosomy of chromosome 21 in a case with low platelets count

Background Monosomy is defined as the presence of only one chromosome instead of two in humans. Partial monosomy occurs when only a portion of the chromosome is present in a single copy, while the rest has two copies. It can occur in unbalanced translocations or deletions. Case report In this report, a 6 years old girl was presented who was referred to the Pediatric Dep, Shahid Sadoughi Ho...

The source of HLA molecules on platelets: Does platelets adsorb soluble HLA molecules from their environment?

Background: The origin and function of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules on platelets are still highly arguable. Given the differences in the results of the previous studies in this regard, the lack of research in recent years, and the clinical importance of HLA class I molecules, the absorption capacity of platelets for soluble HLA class I molecules was studied in this investigat...

Efficacy of ε-Poly-L-lysine as an Antibacterial Additive for Platelets Stored at Room Temperature

C-reactive protein and Platelets changes in preterm neonates with patent Ductus Arteriosus

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate CRP and platelet count changes in preterm neonates with Patent Ductus Arteriosus on the seventh day of birth compared to the third day. Methods: This longitudinal study was conducted on fifty neonates with PDA complications in Afzalipour hospital in 2017-2018. All neonates underwent repeated e...

Preserved platelets: their preparation, storage and clinical use.

By JAMEs L. TuLLJ5, DOUGLAS ‘vI. SURGENOR AND PHILIPPA BAUDANZA I HE ISOLATION of platelets from fresh, human blood in an apparatus that permits immediate washing in order to free the cells of entrained, plasma proteins 1 has led to sufficient stability to permit preservation in vitro. Preliminary reports on the characteristics of such preserved platelets4’5 dealt chiefly with retention of thei...
