Fresh frozen plasma kept at cryogenic temperatures in Bio Boxes during marine transportation

Fresh frozen plasma induced thrombocytopenia

Transfusions of blood products are common in medical practice and can be lifesaving in certain situations. Potentially life threatening reactions could occur and physicians should be alerted. Here we describe a case of thrombocytopenia that was induced by transfusion of fresh frozen plasma (FFP). A 52 years old male presented to the emergency department after two episodes of hematochezia that r...

Gross damage accumulation on frozen rabbit liver due to mechanical stress at cryogenic temperatures.

The second phase of a pilot study dealing with the mechanical response of frozen biological tissues to external compressive load is presented. This stage deals with histological observations of the damage accompanying mechanically induced permanent deformation in frozen rabbit liver. no significant gross histological damage was observed in the liver samples due to either processing the tissue i...

Avoiding the misuse of fresh frozen plasma.

An experimental study of the mechanical response of frozen biological tissues at cryogenic temperatures.

An experimental study of the mechanical response of frozen soft biological tissues to applied compressive stresses is presented. This study is related to the mechanical stresses that develop due to the contraction of frozen tissues in cryopreservation as well as in cryosurgical procedures. The main concept in this study is that the stresses associated with the constrained contraction of the fro...

Evaluation and analysis of quality control results of Fresh Frozen Plasma units in Iranian blood transfusion centers during 1397-1398

Abstract Background and Objectives Fresh frozen plasma is the plasma that retains its unstable protein activity during the freezing process. The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality of FFP products during 1397- 1398.   Materials and Methods In this cross-sectional descriptive study, quality control results of FFP parameters of blood transfusion departments were collected in E...
