Abstract:

In today's society we unfortunately have and will continue to face the effects of issues such as war, poverty, trauma, and death; all of which have had an impact on the lives of people within these societies, be it religious, medical or social. An important, yet subtle common denominator present within these issues is blood. Blood and its transfusion have had an enormous impact on these issues and disappointingly, today doctors have been facing increasing difficulties with providing blood to those who need it; mainly shortages and donor complications. Today and in past decades researchers and

Inledning: Sjukvården är beroende av frivilliga bloddonatorer. Det behövs alltid fler bloddonatorer då vi med dagens sjukvård kan utföra alltmer avancerad kirurgi samt rädda och hjälpa allt fler sjuka samt skadade, med hjälp av blod från frivilliga donatorer. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka vilka skäl som anges till att inte donera blod, samt undersöka om viljan att ge blod skiljer sig beroende på kön, ålder och om man har yrkes- eller studieanknytning till sjukvård.

Abstract:

In recent years scientists have been attempting to develop synthetic blood substitutes in order to counter both the shortage in donor blood and the problems associated with infection and disease during allogeneic transfusion. Most attempts have been made at mimicking the oxygen carrying capabilities of red blood cells yet there is still a broad array of substances in use today that try to simulate the effects of whole blood, not just the red blood cell itself. This literature based thesis extensively discuses the importance of all blood components and reviews the recent developments and proble

Blood Brothers as a media project works as a diptych. There are two – seemingly identical – pieces of the project that must both be experienced to understand the project as a whole. The first piece of the project is the linear documentary. This part captures the experience as it exists in the past. It exists as a master copy of the original story of mine and my foster brother’s relationship. This version of the story will always exist in the past. The second part is the live-cinema documentary performance. In this version of the story, my foster brother and I are no longer only images on a scr

I am personally influenced by other poets such as Sylvia Plath, Walt Whitman, and James Wright in style and in content.

Abstract:

Blood Riveris an exploration of lineage and blood connection as families are made and remade over generations. The poems rise from the physical body, from birth, and again from death. The lyric is used as a mode of investigation as she writes to discover what it means to become a mother, what it means to be a daughter and wife, and finally what it means to remake the self in order to embody all that we are. The poems are born from the heart and explore the connections between us all.

Collecting blood from repeat blood donors is cost effective and safer compared to other donor types. At the end of 2012, 84% of the SANBS donor panel were inactive or lapsed.

Donors who donated blood in 2012 at fixed site donor centres in Port Elizabeth, and did not return in 2013, were studied.

The mechanics and elasticity of red blood cells (RBCs) determine the capability to deform of these cells when passing through the thinnest capillaries, where the delivery of oxygen takes place. The understanding of the elastic properties of RBCs is fundamental for improving our knowledge about microcirculation and it also has important biomedical applications, such as control of blood storage, or cell manipulation for pathology diagnosis. In this Thesis, we study the elasticity of RBCs under different conditions, understanding their mechanical response to different type of perturbations. In a

The ABO blood groups are vitally important in blood transfusion and organ transplantation. Transfusion with an incorrect blood type results in destruction of the incompatible blood cells, which can result in death. In my thesis, the catalytic mechanisms of three enzymes, two of which can directly be used on red blood cells (RBCs), were investigated in detail as follows. YesZ, a family GH 42 β-galactosidase (retaining), was used as a model system for the identification of catalytic residues.

Abstract:

Due to the high metabolic rate of brain tissue and nominal substrate storage, brain perfusion must be precisely regulated to ensure continuous delivery of oxygen and substrates. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is principally regulated by tissue metabolism, perfusion pressure, autonomic nervous activity, and the partial pressures of arterial oxygen (PaO₂)and carbon dioxide (PaCO₂) – an integrative process thus involving the marked influence of pulmonary gas exchange and cardiovascular function, in addition to intracranial mediators of cerebrovascular resistance.

Abstract:

Central aortic systolic blood pressure (cSBP) differs from peripheral systolic blood pressure (pSBP) measured in the arm. cSBP may be estimated non-invasively by application of a generalised transfer function (GIF) to a high fidelity peripheral arterial waveform or from the late systolic shoulder (SBP2) of such a waveform. The relative accuracy of these estimates and the degree to which they depend on the accuracy of peripheral blood pressure is unknown. The interest in estimates of central blood pressure is driven in large part by the fact that aortic pulse pressure (cPP) is thought to be a b

The collection of umbilical cord blood (UCB), a source of clinically-useful stem cells, has become a highly strategised process known as ‘banking’, with 160 banks globally. State-funded public banks rely on unremunerated donations of UCB from women. STS scholarship has explored the broader ethical and economic tensions of such banks and the private enterprises offering banking for a family’s exclusive future use of their own donated tissue. Less focus has been given to public banks’ institutional practices and strategic concerns. I address this gap by adopting an archival lens popularised by J

Abstract:

CAMPATH-1H is administered prior to haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to reduce risks of graft versus host disease (GvHD) by targeting CD52 antigens on T cells, resulting in their depletion.

Data regarding in vivo and in vitro effects of CAMPATH-1H on immune cells is limited to PB T and B cells.

Abstract:

Margination is the migration of particles in a channel towards the outer walls of the channel. In blood microcirculation, studying the margination of microparticles is important to understand platelet migration and the kinetics of drug delivery. Many new topics in drug delivery research examine the slow release of drugs through micro particles, such as micelles. The margination of such drug carriers is related to tissue absorption and, consequently, to the efficiency of drug delivery. We hypothesized that the intensity of red blood cell (RBC) aggregation will change the level of margination in

We also show how to use this extra data to aid with our estimation. We validate our method in several experiments involving blood splatters at varying velocities and angles.
