New approaches to improve the cord blood unit hematopoietic progenitor cell content
Cord blood is a well-established alternative to bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. To this day, over 400 000 unrelated donor cord blood units have been stored in cord blood banks worldwide. To enable successful cord blood transplantation, recent efforts have been focused on …

Optimal allocation of blood products
… platelets are licensed for seven days, and blood centers are keen on knowing the consequences of various product collection and distribution strategies. To reduce outdates, inventory managers typically distribute the older units first, thereby following first-in first-out (FIFO) policy; …

Studies on the nature of red blood cell hemolysis on storage and the nature of the red blood cell membrane acetylcholinesterase
… that the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) of the red blood cells (RBC) is concerned with the maintenance of the integrity of the cells Anderson and Pethica (9) have reported that in stored citrated blood, the release of RBC ^ChE seemed to coincide with the onset of hemolysis. In vivo (10, 11) and in …

Blood Bank Management Information System
… proven that no human being can survive without blood. It is for this reason that blood banks were introduced; to help in the collecting, separating, and storing blood. A blood bank is a place for stocking blood donations from donors. To provide web based communication there are numbers of online …

The Rational Design and Use of Novel Small-Molecule Ice Recrystallization Inhibitors for the Cryopreservation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells and Red Blood Cells
… stem cells (HSCs) and 40% glycerol for red blood cells (RBCs). DMSO fails to protect the functionality of HSCs after cryopreservation and therefore, up to 20% of HSC transplantations fail to engraft. The glycerol in thawed RBC units must be removed to <1% to prevent intravascular hemolysis …

Effect of Storage on the Elastic Properties of the Red Cell Membrane
<p>The goal for the preservation of blood is the optimal survival and function of the stored blood after reinfusion. In vivo means of assessing viability after storage would be ideal but these survival studies are expensive, involved, and not without danger. Thus, in vitro means have been sought to …
