Abstract

The book covers the basics of genetics and immunology, technical aspects of blood banking and transfusion.It offers a concise, and practical approach for different blood tests and guidelines on the best ways to take donor history, screen donors, store blood components, ensure safety, and anticipate the potentially adverse effects of blood transfusion, components and its management at the bedside. Different chapters include important topics such as collection, storage and transportation of blood, introduction to blood transfusion, blood group serology, discovery of blood groups, donor selection, interview, and its preparation, and storage, pretransfusion testing, transfusion therapy, clinical considerations, and safety, quality assurance, and data management developed specifically for medical technologists and resident doctors. The book also goes beyond preoperative patient blood management, with detailed accounts of coagulation disorder management and the administration of coagulation products and platelet concentrates. The book also defines the components of a learning health system necessary to enable continued improvement in trauma care in both the civilian and the military sectors. This book offers a succinct and user-friendly resource with key points, boxes, tables & charts and is a quick reference guide for pathology and transfusion medicine residents and doctors in blood centers and hospitals dealing with regulatory aspects, transfusion safety, production and storage and donor care.

Abstract

Autrefois anecdotique et réalisée « avec les moyens du bord », la transfusion sanguine est devenue de plus en plus fréquente en pratique canine et féline. En effet, les progrès de la médecine et de la chirurgie vétérinaires ont permis d'en définir toutes les indications, de sélectionner au mieux le couple receveur/donneur, de la pratiquer dans de bonnes conditions et d'en gérer les complications éventuelles. La disponibilité de matériel adapté et l'évolution récente des connaissances participent également à la rendre accessible au praticien généraliste. Parallèlement, cet acte n'est plus réservé aux seuls chiens et chats, et les pratiques transfusionnelles se développent aussi chez les nouveaux animaux de compagnie ainsi que chez les animaux exotiques. Cet ouvrage, sous la coordination scientifique du docteur Isabelle Goy-Thollot, réunit un collectif d'experts pour vous proposer un guide pratique et actualisé de la transfusion sanguine en médecine vétérinaire.

Abstract

In the mid-1870s, the experimental therapy of lamb blood transfusion spread like an epidemic across Europe and the USA. Doctors tried it as a cure for tuberculosis, pellagra and anemia; proposed it as a means to reanimate seemingly dead soldiers on the battlefield. It was a contested therapy because it meant crossing boundaries and challenging taboos. Was the transfusion of lamb blood into desperately sick humans really defensible? The book takes the reader on a journey into hospital wards and lunatic asylums, physiological laboratories and 19th century wars. It presents a fascinating story of medical knowledge, ambitions and concerns - a story that provides lessons for current debates on the morality of medical experimentation and care. O-Ton: »When Lamb-to-Human Blood Transfusions Were All the Rage« - Boel Berner im Interview with newbooksnetwork.com am 12.10.2020.

Abstract

In recent years, there have been outstanding achievements in stroke diagnosis and care. Our better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms and the advances in neuro-imaging have enabled us to diagnose stroke syndromes with remarkable precision and uncover underlying vessel pathologies that can be directly correlated to the stroke event. Within a short period of time, mechanical thrombectomy became the standard of care for patients with large vessel occlusions and symptom onset up to 24 hours, while other recent trials also suggest the use of perfusion imaging to guide intravenous thrombolysis in the extended time window. In this Special Issue, we will also extensively discuss relevant topics on secondary stroke prevention, including the prompt use of nonvitamin k oral anticoagulants and the potential effect of reversal agents in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage related to their use. We will also delineate treatment options for stroke patients with indication for long-term anticoagulation and high bleeding risk. Finally, a particular mention will be made for young patients with stroke, the extent of the diagnostic work-up, and the selection of those who would benefit from patent foramen ovale closure.
