In this paper (from 2010 to 2020), the effects of polymeric, metallic and nonmetallic
nanoparticles on red blood cells' hemocompatibility were investigated for the first time. Here …

Cancer has become an increasingly important public health issue owing to its high morbidity
and mortality rates. Although traditional treatment methods are relatively effective, they have …

It is important to measure the deformability of red blood cells (RBCs) before transfusion,
which is a key factor in the gas transport ability of RBCs and changes during storage of …

BACKGROUND Storage lesion may explain the rapid clearance of up to 25% of transfused
red blood cells (RBCs) in recipients. Several alterations affect stored RBC but a quantitative …

Transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBC) to patients in critical states is often
accompanied by post-transfusion complications. This may be related with disturbance of …

Hemolysis usually happens instantly when red blood cells (RBCs) rupture under a high
shear stress. However, it is also found to happen gradually in the extracorporeal membrane …

The oxygen content in the blood may decrease under the influence of various
physicochemical factors and different diseases. The state of hypoxemia is especially …

Background Autologous blood transfusion is one of the illicit strategies, banned by the World
Anti-Doping Agency, to increase the levels of hemoglobin, with a consequent improvement …

In transfusion medicine, there has been a decades-long debate about whether the age of
stored red blood cells (RBCs) is a factor in transfusion efficacy. Existing clinical studies …

A new hybrid organic-inorganic silsesquioxane material, 3-n-propyl (2-amino-4-methyl)
