The apheresis platelets are the preferred blood components for the thrombocytopenic
hemato-oncology patients. The one of the important factors for post transfusion increment is …

Introduction The demand for apheresis platelets has increased in the recent past and the
shrinking donor pool has shifted the trend to collection of double-dose or higher yield of …

Background The University of California, Irvine Blood Donor Center operates a
plateletpheresis donor program utilizing the Amicus Cell Separator. Plateletpheresis donors …

Background Advances in automated cell separators have improved the efficiency of
plateletpheresis and the possibility of obtaining double products (DP). We assessed cell …

Introduction Algorithms have been developed to predict the platelet yield after apheresis
from the donor's data, as well as the effect on the blood cell count, to extract an acceptable …

METHODS: It was a retrospective observational study to determine the effect of high-yield
plateletpheresis on donor reactions, efficacy, and quality parameters. It was conducted from …

The development of red blood cells (RBCs), or erythropoiesis, occurs in specialized niches
in the bone marrow, called erythroblastic islands, composed of a central macrophage …

Aim We aimed to investigate the change in the number of stem cells and white cells in the
early period following blood donation. Patients and Method 22 male (71%) and 9 female …

Introducción: El efecto del procedimiento en los índices hematológicos del donador rara vez
se determina al fi nalizar una sesión de donación. El propósito de este estudio es identifi car …

Background: Although automated cell separators (apheresis) have undergone a lot of
technical refi nements, the effect of the procedure on hematological indices of donors is …
