Transfusion medicine is a branch of medicine that involves transferring blood or blood components from one person to another. It is used to treat various conditions like injuries, surgeries, or diseases where the patient might need additional blood to recover.

OTTAWA, ON — Ms. Elizabeth J. Knight has been awarded with Honourary Membership to the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) for elevating the practice
of transfusion medicine in Canada.
Blais came to the University of Montreal after conducting a postdoctoral fellowship
in Transfusion Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia in 2006.
He remained in Essen as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute
for Transfusion Medicine to pursue research into exosomes / extracellular vesicles (EVs) and currently is working to unravel the role of EVs in normal hematopoiesis and hematological malignancies.
The Animal Blood Bank /
Transfusion Medicine Service operates under the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences within the Clinical Hematology / Oncology Service and the Veterinary Medical Center.
«It's a promising approach,» says Harvey Klein, chief of the Department of
Transfusion Medicine at the National Institutes of Health.
Her special interests
include transfusion medicine, multimodal analgesia, and the diagnosis and treatment of nonsurgical diseases, especially of internal organ systems such as the respiratory, digestive and urinary tract.
A new review in
Transfusion Medicine Reviews looks at the latest methods available for detecting ABT and suggests that combining several different methods may offer a comprehensive solution for identifying cheating athletes.
His basic research interests include inflammation and innate immunity, receptor - mediated signaling in neutrophils and vascular endothelium, lipid biochemistry, and
Transfusion Medicine with emphasis on transfusion - related acute lung injury (TRALI) and resuscitation following injury.
Established in 1959, BSRI is the leading program in the U.S., and perhaps the world, with respect to transfusion - transmitted infectious diseases, and is at the forefront of several other areas of
transfusion medicine research.
«It will be a major new direction for China,» says Pei Xuetao, a stem - cell scientist at the Beijing Institute of
Transfusion Medicine who is on the central - government committee that approved the trials.
BSRI has a dual mission in education and research, and offers training programs in basic science, epidemiology and
clinical transfusion medicine.
He conducts research on the epidemiology and health economics of the blood supply and
transfusion medicine policy throughout the world, primarily focused on infectious diseases, donor health, and recipient outcomes.
The
Molecular Transfusion Medicine Core research interests center around the design and optimization of real - time PCR assays for the detection and quantification of viral and parasitic infectious diseases that are of concern to the blood transfusion community.
In addition, Boston Children's
Transfusion Medicine group, where Luo's lab is based, is interested in pursuing IP6K inhibition in cancer patients, who often have severely reduced neutrophil counts that put them at high risk for infection.

Center Transfusion Medicine (fellowship) Cedars - Sinai Medical Center Anatomic and clinical pathology (residency) Temple University Hospital Obstetrics and gynecology (internship) Thomas Jefferson University Hospital
«I have always loved working in emergency and critical care and while I also
enjoy transfusion medicine, critical nutrition and pain management, my interests are mainly focused on the care of very sick animals.»
Successful transfusion medicine in the veterinary industry relies heavily on blood typing and crossmatching — and recognizing the difference between the two.
In the cat, it is apparent that we need to blood - type and crossmatch every donor recipient pair to provide our feline patients with safe and
effective transfusion medicine.»
Transfusion medicine consists of determining when a blood transfusion is appropriate, providing the specific type of blood products that are needed, and closely monitoring patient response to transfusion.
Services include: Gastrointestinal panels Endocrine testing Blood pressure monitoring Ultrasound Lower airway washes Infectious disease testing Autoimmune disease
testing Transfusion medicine Kidney and liver specific panels Pancreatic blood panels In - house and reference laboratory services Culture and sensitivity tests Animal Radiology Clinic Heights Urban Animal offers ultrasound and digital x-ray to better visualize structures that aren't always apparent.
As our charity partner, we are excited to be helping Pet Blood Bank UK celebrate its 10th birthday this year and as part of our shared celebrations will be working together to support a negative blood donor drive, and to raise awareness of
canine transfusion medicine.
Her special interests are in physical therapy, pain management, diagnosis and treatment of canine hip dysplasia, surgical oncology, reconstructive surgery, and canine and
feline transfusion medicine.
Appropriate,
timely transfusion medicine is a necessity for many dogs and cats to help them recover from, life threatening infections, autoimmune disease, cancers, toxicities and major traumas.
IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele Immunohematology and
Transfusion Medicine Service (ITMS) provides clinical services to support patients in need of blood component therapy, cellular therapy, therapeutic apheresis and specialized laboratory diagnostics.
Driven by her passion
for transfusion medicine, she also oversees our blood donor program, ensuring a supply of canine and feline blood products for our patients.
Lo asked a friend and sometime collaborator, Harvey Alter, chief of the infectious disease section in the department of
transfusion medicine at the NIH, for some healthy blood samples to use as controls.
He has led many studies
in transfusion medicine and is a member of the Blood XMRV Scientific Research Working Group, a government - funded panel investigating whether XMRV is a risk to the blood supply.
BSRI has since inception, been firmly committed to the advanced training of young scientists in the areas
of transfusion medicine, infectious disease, immunology and epidemiology.
Her findings provide «an exciting and welcome addition to the current body of knowledge in veterinary
transfusion medicine and will hopefully prompt further research in this area,» it said.
«It has required expertise from across the agency, including subject matter experts in pregnancy and birth defects, sexually transmitted infections, mosquito control, laboratory science, travelers» health, virology,
transfusion medicine, and communication science,» he added.
Join us for a live chat on this page at 3 p.m. EDT on Thursday, 22 September, to discuss these and other questions with Michael Busch,
a transfusion medicine scientist involved in XMRV research, and retrovirologist Jay Levy.
The findings have major clinical significance, according to Professor Martin L. Olsson, a consultant in
transfusion medicine.
«The blood buddy system was created to gap an unmet need in our community,» said Ellen Klapper, MD, director of
the Transfusion Medicine Division and a clinical professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.
Working in tandem with ITMS, the Immune - hematology and
transfusion medicine Unit carries out research projects addressing the improvement of clinics and diagnostic tools in the area of transfusion medicine.

He serves as a reviewer for ~ 20 journals, is a past member of the Editorial Board of Blood, sits on the Scientific Committee for
Transfusion Medicine for the American Society of Hematology National Meeting, and is the Transfusion Medicine Editor for HemOnc Today.
Transfusion medicine is linked to multiple viral infections, including persistent viruses like HIV and hepatitis B and C, as well as emerging arboviral infections like West Nile virus, Zika virus, and others.
He currently co-edits
the transfusion medicine section of Up To Date.
