Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) has been a standard of care treatment for eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). Guidelines generally recommend hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) harvest for two potential HCT. There is a paucity of data reporting use of such collections in the era of novel approved therapies. In this single-center retrospective study, our goal was to determine the HPC utilization rate and costs associated with leukocytapheresis, collection, storage, and disposal to guide future HPC collection planning...

INTRODUCTION: Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (CTTP), also called Upshaw-Schulman syndrome (USS), is a rare autosomal recessive disorder resulting from the deficiency of the ADAMTS13. CTTP is characterized by the formation of platelet-rich thrombi in small vessels of multiple organs, resulting in thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, eventually leading to organ failure. CASE REPORT: We present a case of an 11-month-old male infant with CTTP lacking classic features of the disease...

Bombay blood group phenotype is often mistyped as O group which can lead to hemolytic transfusion reactions. There are a very few case reports of Bombay blood group phenotype in pediatric age group. Herein, we report an interesting case of Bombay blood group phenotype in a fifteen-month-old pediatric patient who presented with features of raised intracranial pressure and required an emergency surgery. The Bombay blood group was detected on detailed immunohematology work up which was further confirmed by molecular genotyping...

Immuno Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a rare and potentially fatal disorder characterized by systemic microvascular thrombosis because of a severe deficiency of ADAMTS13. It is difficult to generate knowledge about TTP because of its low incidence and the lack of clinical trials. Most of the evidence on diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis has been generated from real-world data registries. In 2004, the Spanish Apheresis Group (GEA) implemented the Spanish registry of TTP (REPTT) with 438 patients suffering 684 acute episodes in 53 hospitals up to January 2022...

Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is a cell therapy originally employed for cutaneous T cell lymphoma and later for GvHD, solid organ rejection and other immunological diseases demonstrating an excellent safety profile. Mononuclear cell (MNCs) apoptosis triggered by UV-A light irradiation in the presence of 8-methoxypsoralene has a key role in priming the cells, ultimately leading to immunomodulation. We report preliminary data about an evaluation of the new automated irradiator device LUMILIGHT (Pelham Crescent srl) for off-line ECP...

BACKGROUND: Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and red blood cell exchange (RBCX) are life-saving apheresis procedures offered in 7 Ontario hospitals. Most referrals are directed by CritiCall Ontario (CritiCall), a 24/7 service funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. We used CritiCall data to examine referral requests, acceptances, and transfers for urgent apheresis to our centre. METHODS: Retrospective CritiCall referral and transfer data for urgent apheresis between October 2013 and December 2018 were included...

BACKGROUND: Primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) often requires blood transfusion. Transfusions are undesirable due to risks of infectious and noninfectious complications. This systematic review therefore studied the effectiveness of erythropoietin (EPO) in reducing allogeneic transfusion rate during THA. METHODS: Using the MESH terms "Erythropoietin" AND "Total Hip" with restrictions to 'Randomized Controlled Trial', 'Clinical Trial', 'Humans', and 'English', a literature search was performed in PubMed and CINAHL...

Donor - recipient sex - mismatched transfusion is associated with increased mortality. The mechanisms for this are not clear, but it may relate to transfusion-related immunomodulation. Recently, CD71+ erythroid cells (CECs), including reticulocytes (CD71+ RBCs) and erythroblasts, have been identified as potent immunoregulatory cells. The proportion of CD71+ RBCs in the peripheral blood is sufficient to play a potential immunomodulatory role. Differences in the quantity of CD71+ RBCs are dependent on blood donor sex...

PURPOSE: Caplacizumab was licensed for acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP) based on prospective controlled trials. Real-world evidence is crucial in rare diseases. We aim to describe a patient population with aTTP, receiving caplacizumab in a real-world setting, reporting their outcomes, including safety and tolerability, and contrasting them with a historical cohort from our center. METHODS: We describe data collected retrospectively from 2012 to 2022 for 16 patients with aTTP (8 received caplacizumab and 8 the historical standard-of-care)...

BACKGROUND: In children with acute myeloid leukemia, the incidence of hyperleukocytosis is 5-33%. Patients with AML and hyperleukocytosis have a higher early mortality rate than patients with nonhyperleukocytic AML because of the increased risk of severe pulmonary and neurologic complications. Leukapheresis provides rapid cytoreduction and reduces early mortality rates. CASE PRESENTATION: In this report, we present a case with microcirculatory failure of upper extremities as a rare symptom of hyperleukocytic AML M4 at initial presentation...

Intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) is a common treatment given after plasma exchange procedures to either prevent secondary hypogammaglobulinemia or as an adjunctive treatment for organ transplant rejection. However, side-effects are relatively common with this medication during and after infusion. This case-report describes our alternative to IVIG infusions post-plasma exchange. We hypothesize that in patients unable to tolerate IVIG, using thawed plasma as a replacement fluid provides a suitable increase in the patients post procedure immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels for patients with secondary hypogammaglobulinemia that are unable to tolerate IVIG infusions...

INTRODUCTION: Undiagnosed and untreated hyperbilirubinemia in infants may result in Kernicterus Spectrum Disorder and poor prognoses. Rhesus incompatibility and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency are among the known causes of infantile jaundice. This study was designed to define the severity and prognosis in jaundiced infants with Rh incompatibility or G6PD deficiency. METHODS: A total of 144 term, 2- 14 days old jaundiced infants (bilirubin > 20 mg/dl) with Rh incompatibility(85 infant) or G6PD deficiency(59 infant) were included in this cohort study with 24-month follow-up through available sampling at Ghaem hospital between 2015 and 2022...

There is limited data on the use of NAC in the literature. We would like to present the satisfactory results we obtained in our resistant and relapsed patients as a case series.Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a life-threatening thrombotic microangiopathy caused by ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin with thrombospondin type 1 motif and metalloprotease activity, member13) deficiency.

BACKGROUND: Hyperhemolysis syndrome (HHS) is an uncommon transfusion reaction described in several hematologic disorders, including sickle cell disease (SCD). HHS is characterized by a decline in hemoglobin (Hb) values below pre-transfusion levels following transfusion of red blood cells (RBCs), coupled with laboratory markers consistent with hemolysis. The proposed pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying HHS include increased phosphatidylserine expression, macrophage activation, and complement dysregulation...

Most of collected hematopoietic stem cell (HSCs) products need processing in order to isolate stem cells, squeeze out of plasma and erythrocytes. There are two main aims for bone marrow (BM) enrichment: reduction of immunogenicity of AB0 incompatible transplants and/or preventing toxicity of hemolysis during cryopreservation. In our center we have implemented two methods for BM enrichment: manual technic using 10 % HAES (hydroxyethyl starch) and automatic cell separator. In order to optimize the process, we examined retrospectively the parameters which could have a great impact on final efficiency of engraftment, such as reduction of hematocrit, CD34 + , WBC recovery and cell viability...
