The first International Meeting on Apheresis was held in Dyon in 1984. At the congress it became clear that both the technical and therapeutic sides developed very rapidly and it appeared fruitful to bring together the investigators of the different countries working in the areas. At that time immunology had come to pervade many clinical specialities, and hemapheresis, especially plasmapheresis was considered a therapeutic tool in many immunological diseases which hitherto had proved to be fatal. New methods to identify certain antibodies and circulating immune complexes in the serum and the possibilities to remove them from the blood by several techniques (filtration, centrifugation, immuno...

MITR, Manual for Immunohematology and Transfusion Residents would be a handbook/manual for postgraduate students/residents in Transfusion Medicine and Immunohematology. This book would comprise simple notes and tips for the residents to carry out their routine work and planning in the department, guiding them through the residency. Transfusion medicine is a comparatively new branch of Medicine that is an amalgamation of both clinical and laboratory sciences. Currently, there are no books in the market describing how the transfusion medicine resident should align himself to this course to prepare himself to excel in this field. This book will describe the approach to acquiring practical training and knowledge to analyse immunohematological problems and tips for policies in managing a blood centre. It also describes how to carry on yourself concerning academics, thesis, and research. It will also help the junior-level faculty as a desk reference.
This book offers a concise yet comprehensive overview on critical issues in monitoring and responding to new microbial threats to blood safety. It provides information on the current concerns and mechanisms for monitoring potential new infectious threats to blood safety, evaluates the response to these new threats, and explores the complex issues related to blood safety, including health economics, the relationship between levels of public health threats (actual danger) versus public concerns (perceived danger), and the challenges in coordinating international collaborative efforts. The text also includes several case studies that illustrate the existing systems used for monitoring and responding to new threats to blood safety. Written by experts in the field, Blood Safety: A Guide to Monitoring and Responding to Potential New Threats is a valuable resource for health care professionals who are responsible for the medical management of blood services.
