Turbid plasma donations in whole blood donors: fat chance?
BACKGROUND Blood donations resulting in "nontransparent turbid milky" plasma must be discarded. The aim of this study was to objectively determine opacity and to identify risk factors for turbid plasma donations. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS This case-control study included 238 whole blood donors who provided turbid plasma (cases) and 309 random control subjects with normal plasma. Participants f...
متن کاملHepatitis E screening for blood donations: an urgent need?
www.thelancet.com Vol 384 November 15, 2014 1729 In The Lancet, Patricia Hewitt and colleagues report the prevalence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) RNA in 225 000 blood donations from southeast England. Their study was based on HEV RNA detection by means of reverse transcriptase real-time PCR in minipools of 24 donations or fewer collected in a 1-year period (2012–13). They defi ned the rate of tra...
متن کاملResults of the first international round robin for the quantification of urinary and plasma hepcidin assays: need for standardization.
The recently discovered iron regulatory peptide hormone hepcidin holds promise as a novel biomarker in iron metabolism disorders. To date, various mass spectrometry and immunochemical methods have been developed for its quantification in plasma and urine. Differences in methodology and analytical performance hinder the comparability of data. As a first step towards method harmonization, several...
متن کاملInformation content of point radiance measurements in turbid media: implications for interstitial optical property quantification.
Motivated by a recent report by Dickey et al. [Phys. Med. Biol. 46, 2359 (2001)], who demonstrated optical property retrieval by using relative radiance measurements at a single position, we investigate the uniqueness of relative radiance measurements for quantifying the optical properties of turbid media by studying the solutions of the diffusion and P3 approximations of the Boltzmann transfer...
متن کاملPrivate donations for international development
Charitable donations by private individuals and firms can help fund the Millennium Development Goals. What are the prospects for increasing donations for international development, whether from small-scale donors, the super-rich (as in the recent gifts by Bill Gates and Ted Turner), or the corporate sector? The paper starts by reviewing how large are the sums currently given in OECD countries (...
