Abstract
Major traumatic hemorrhage is now frequently treated by early hemostatic resuscitation on hospital arrival. Prehospital hemostatic resuscitation could therefore improve outcomes for bleeding trauma patients, but there are logistical challenges. Freeze-dried plasma (FDP) offers indisputable logistical advantages over conventional blood products, such as long shelf life, stability at ambient temperature, and rapid reconstitution without specialized equipment. We sought high level, randomized, controlled evidence of FDP clinical efficacy in trauma. A structured systematic search of MEDLINE/PubMed was carried out and identified 52 relevant English language publications. Three studies involving 607 patients met our criteria: Resuscitation with Blood Products in Patients with Trauma-related Hemorrhagic Shock receiving Prehospital Care (RePHILL, n = 501); Prehospital Lyophilized Plasma Transfusion for Trauma-Induced Coagulopathy in Patients at Risk for Hemorrhagic Shock (PREHO-PLYO, n = 150); and a pilot Australian trial (n = 25). RePHILL found no effect of FDP plus packed red blood cells (PRBC) concentrate transfusion versus saline on mortality. PREHO-PLYO found no effect of FDP versus saline on International Normalized Ratio (INR) at hospital arrival. The pilot trial found that study of PRBC versus PRBC plus FDP was feasible during long air transport times to an Australian trauma centre. Further research is required to determine under what conditions FDP might provide prehospital benefit to trauma patients.

Abstract
Worldwide pandemic with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) was caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). As November 2, 2022, World Health Organization (WHO) received 628,035,553 reported incidents on COVID-19, with 6,572,800 mortalities and, with a total 12,850,970,971 vaccine doses have been delivered as of October 31, 2022. The infection can cause mild or self-limiting symptoms of pulmonary and severe infections or death may be caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Simultaneously, antivirals, corticosteroids, immunological treatments, antibiotics, and anticoagulants have been proposed as potential medicines to cure COVID-19 affected patients. Among these initial treatments, COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP), which was retrieved from COVID-19 recovered patients to be used as passive immune therapy, in which antibodies from cured patients were given to infected patients to prevent illness. Such treatment has yielded the best results in earlier with preventative or early stages of illness. Convalescent plasma (CP) is the first treatment available when infectious disease initially appears, although few randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were conducted to evaluate its effectiveness. The historical record suggests with potential benefit for other respiratory infections, as coronaviruses like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-CoV-I (SARS-CoV-I) and Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), though the analysis of such research is constrained by some non-randomized experiments (NREs). Rigorous studies on CP are made more demanding by the following with the immediacy of the epidemics, CP use may restrict the ability to utilize it for clinical testing, non-homogenous nature of product, highly decentralized manufacturing process; constraints with capacity to measure biologic function, ultimate availability of substitute therapies, as antivirals, purified immune globulins, or monoclonal antibodies. Though, it is still not clear how effectively CCP works among hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The current review tries to focus on its efficiency and usage in clinical scenarios and identifying existing benefits of implementation during pandemic or how it may assist with future pandemic preventions.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) inactivation is an important step toward enhanced biosafety in testing facilities and affords a reduction in the biocontainment level necessary for handling virus-positive biological specimens. Virus inactivation methods commonly employ heat, detergents, or combinations thereof. In this work, we address the dearth of information on the efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 inactivation procedures in plasma and their downstream impact on immunoassays. We evaluated the effects of heat (56 °C for 30 min), detergent (1-5% Triton X-100), and solvent-detergent (SD) combinations [0.3-1% tri-n-butyl phosphate (TNBP) and 1-2% Triton X-100] on 19 immunoassays across different assay formats. Treatments are deemed immunoassay-compatible when the average and range of percentage recovery (treated concentration relative to untreated concentration) lie between 90-110 and 80-120%, respectively. We show that SD treatment (0.3% TNBP/1% Triton-X100) is compatible with more than half of the downstream immunoassays tested and is effective in reducing SARS-CoV-2 infectivity in plasma to below detectable levels in plaque assays. This facile method offers enhanced safety for laboratory workers handling biological specimens in clinical and research settings.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic will be remembered as one of the worst catastrophic events in human history. Unfortunately, no universally recognized effective therapeutic agents are currently available for the treatment of severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this context, the use of convalescent plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients has gained increasing interest thanks to the initially positive clinical reports. A number of mechanisms of action have been proposed for convalescent plasma, including direct neutralization and suppression of viremia, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulation effects and mitigation of the COVID-19-associated hypercoagulable state. These immune and non-immune mechanisms will be critically discussed in this narrative review.

[PMID: 31846227 DOI: 10.1002/btpr.2953] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2019] [Revised: 11/27/2019] [Accepted: 12/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Triton X-100 has long been used either alone or in combination with solvent to inactivate enveloped viruses in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. However, European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) officially placed Triton X-100 on the Annex XIV authorization list in 2017 because 4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl) phenol, a degradation product of Triton X-100, is of harmful endocrine disrupting activities. As a result, any use of Triton X-100 in the European Economic Area would require an ECHA issued authorization after the sunset date of January 4, 2021. In search of possible replacements for Triton X-100, we discovered that polysorbate 80 (PS80) in absence of any solvents was able to effectively inactive enveloped viruses such as xenotropic murine leukemia virus and pseudorabies virus with comparable efficacy as measured by log reduction factors. Interestingly, PS80 did not show any virucidal activities in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) while achieving robust virus inactivation in cell-free Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) bioreactor harvests. This intriguing observation led us to speculate that virus inactivation by PS80 involved components in the cell-free CHO bioreactor harvests that were absent in PBS. Specifically, we hypothesized that esterase and/or lipases in the cell-free bioreactor harvests hydrolyzed PS80 to yield oleic acid, a known potent virucidal agent, which in turn inactivated viruses. This theory was confirmed using purified recombinant lysosomal phospholipase A2 isomer (rLPLA2) in PBS. Subsequent characterization work has indicated that virus inactivation by PS80 is effective and robust within temperature and concentration ranges comparable to those of Triton X-100. Similar to Triton X-100, virus inactivation by PS80 is dually dependent on treatment time and temperature. Unlike Triton X-100, PS80 inactivation does not correlate with concentrations in a simple manner. Additionally, we have demonstrated that PS20 exhibits similar virus inactivation activities as PS80. Based on the findings described in the current work, we believe that PS80 is potentially a viable replacement for Triton X-100 and can be used in manufacturing processes for wide spectrum of biopharmaceuticals to achieve desirable virus clearance. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of using PS80 for virus inactivation are discussed in the contexts of GMP manufacturing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a leading cause of transfusion-associated mortality for which multiple mitigation strategies have been implemented over the past decade. However, product-specific TRALI rates have not been reported longitudinally and may help refine additional mitigation strategies. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS This retrospective multicenter study included analysis of TRALI rates from 2007 through 2017. Numerators included definite or probable TRALI reports from five blood centers serving nine states in the United States. Denominators were components distributed from participating centers. Rates were calculated as per 100,000 components distributed (p < 0.05 significant). RESULTS One hundred four TRALI cases were reported from 10,012,707 components distributed (TRALI rate of 1.04 per 100,000 components). The TRALI rate was 2.25 for female versus 1.08 for male donated components (p < .001). The TRALI rate declined from 2.88 in 2007 to 0.60 in 2017. From 2007 to 2013, there was a significantly higher TRALI rate associated with female versus male plasma (33.85 vs. 1.59; p < 0.001) and RBCs (1.97 vs. 1.15; p = 0.03). From 2014 through 2017, after implementation of mitigation strategies, a significantly higher TRALI rate only from female-donated plateletpheresis continued to be observed (2.98 vs. 0.75; p = 0.04). CONCLUSION Although the TRALI rates have substantially decreased secondary to multiple strategies over the past decade, a residual risk remains, particularly with female-donated plateletpheresis products. Additional tools that may further mitigate TRALI incidence include the use of buffy coat pooled platelets suspended in male donor plasma or platelet additive solution due to the lower amounts of residual plasma.

Abstract
The rare congenital bleeding disorders are a heterogeneous group of diseases which include deficiencies of fibrinogen, prothrombin and factors V, V + VIII, VII, X, XI and XIII. They are usually transmitted as autosomal recessive disorders, and the prevalence of the severe forms ranges from one case in 500,000 for factor VII up to one in 2,000,000 for factor XIII in the general population. Patients with rare congenital bleeding disorders may have a broad spectrum of clinical symptoms, ranging from mucocutaneous bleeding to life-threatening haemorrhages, such as those occurring in the central nervous system. The treatment of these disorders is based principally on the replacement of the deficient factor using, when available, specific plasma-derived or recombinant products. The aim of this narrative review is to summarise current knowledge about these rare bleeding conditions.

Abstract
Transfusion-transmitted infection risk remains an enduring challenge to blood safety in Africa. A high background incidence and prevalence of the major transfusion-transmitted infections (TTIs), dependence on high-risk donors to meet demand, suboptimal testing and quality assurance collectively contribute to the increased risk. With few exceptions, donor testing is confined to serological evaluation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B and C (HBV and HCV) and syphilis. Barriers to implementation of broader molecular methods include cost, limited infrastructure and lack of technical expertise. Pathogen reduction (PR), a term used to describe a variety of methods (e.g. solvent detergent treatment or photochemical activation) that may be applied to blood following collection, offers the means to diminish the infectious potential of multiple pathogens simultaneously. This is effective against different classes of pathogen, including the major TTIs where laboratory screening is already implemented (e.g. HIV, HBV and HCV) as well pathogens that are widely endemic yet remain unaddressed (e.g. malaria, bacterial contamination). We sought to review the available and emerging PR techniques and their potential application to resource-constrained parts of Africa, focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of such technologies. PR has been slow to be adopted even in high-income countries, primarily given the high costs of use. Logistical considerations, particularly in low-resourced parts of Africa, also raise concerns about practicality. Nonetheless, PR offers a rational, innovative strategy to contend with TTIs; technologies in development may well present a viable complement or even alternative to targeted screening in the future.

Abstract
Increasing evidence supports the existence of a close relationship between immunotransfusion, hemostasis, and thrombosis. The best example of such linkage is given by the influence of the ABO blood group antigens on von Willebrand factor (VWF) plasma levels and activity. It is well known, for instance, that individuals with non-O blood type (i.e., A, B, and AB) have higher VWF and factor VIII plasma levels than O blood type subjects and are consequently exposed to an increased thrombotic risk. There is also a close relationship between immunotransfusion, hemostasis, and thrombosis testing. The first part of this narrative review is dedicated to the issue of the relationship between immunotransfusion, hemostasis, and thrombosis, while the second part is focused on the relationship between immunotransfusion and hemostasis and thrombosis testing, as well as the effects on hemostasis of the transfusion of blood components (i.e., red blood cells, platelet concentrates, and fresh frozen plasma) and plasma-derived products.

Abstract
Transfusion has been tainted with the risk of contracting an infection - often severe - and fears about this risk are still prevailing, in sharp contrast with the actual risk in Western countries. Those actual risks are rather immunological, technical (overload) or metabolic. Meanwhile, in developing countries and particularly in Africa, transfusion transmitted infections (TTIs) are still frequent, because of both the scarcity of volunteer blood donors and resources and the high incidence and prevalence of infections. Global safety of blood components has been declared as a goal to be attained everywhere by the World Heath Organization (WHO). However, this challenge is difficult to meet because of several intricate factors, of which the emergence of infectious agents, low income and breaches in sanitation and hygiene. This review aims at encompassing the situation of TTIs in different settings and means that can be deployed to improve the situation where this can possibly be.
