blood transfusion centers are under considerable pressure to produce platelet concentrates with high quality and safety due to the short shelf life of 3-5 days as well as possible bacterial and viral contaminations. for a variety of reasons, many europeans have changed their methods of component production from whole blood using the north american standard platelet-rich plasma method to the buf...

Objective: This study aims to estimate and compare the time-course change in blood glucose levels by blood cells in serum, and plasma with or without preservatives, which may reflect the rate of glucose utilization by blood cells. Method: This laboratory-based cross-sectional study was carried out using a blood specimen of 28 participants among which 14 were diagnosed with diabetes and 14 were...

this study demonstrates the changes in six different pathophysiological parameters such as body weight, body temperature, fecal pellet count, blood-brain barrier (bbb) permeability, plasma corticosterone level and emergence of hemorrhagic peptic ulcer spots due to exposure to high environmental heat in three different age groups of freely moving rats. methods: each age group of rats was sub div...

objective: it is a firm belief that blood transfusion is life-saving in many situations, but at the same time transfusion complications could be life-threatening. the possible effects of blood transfusion related immunomodulatory (trim) and its related mechanisms is one of the important debatable subjects in the field of blood transfusion medicine. one of the mechanisms through which transfus...

introduction cold plasma is a self-sterilized, painless, and non-contact method in surgeries. these properties allow it to be applied to the living tissues and heat-sensitive parts. the aim of this study was to design a new cold plasma producer device and evaluate the effects of cold argon plasma on decreasing the coagulation time of blood drop in vitro and that of the injured liver blood in vi...
