Abstract
Social Security scams have become one of the most common forms of government imposter fraud. These scams cost innocent people in the USA millions of dollars each year and undercut the ability of the Social Security Administration to contact and interact with citizens about their benefits. This raises questions as to how individuals might improve their ability to discriminate between scams and real appeals from the Social Security Administration. The present study applies the techniques of inoculation theory to a nationally representative sample of over 4,000 US adults in a series of experiments. Participants are randomly assigned to one of four training programs: from general tips about scams to a targeted experiential learning program. There is strong evidence that the inoculation process successfully and significantly increases fraud detection without decreasing trust in real communications. It provides protection against both SSA and non-SSA scams, such as Amazon imposter scams. The impact, however, is specific to the mode of communication (email versus letter or SMS) and decays over time; training programs should be targeted accordingly.

Abstract
Background:Antisynthetase Syndrom (ASyS) is an autoimmune overlap disease characterized by antiaminoacyl-tRNA-synthetase (anti-ARS) antibodies and the classic triad of arthritis, myositis and interstitial lung disease (ILD) (1). Markers of cardiovascular (CV) or cerebrovascular (CVB) risk have never been examined in ASyS.Objectives:Aim of this study (RIsk of CARdiovascular Disease in ASyS: RI.CAR.D.A.) was to test the ability of an established traditional CV risk prediction score (Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation-SCORE) and its EULAR modified version (mSCORE) to identify ASyS patients at high CV risk. Moreover, we sought to examine for the first time associations of CV surrogate markers with clinical and immunological ASyS parameters.Methods:SCORE/mSCORE and the gold standard marker of aortic stiffness (carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity-cfPWV) were examined in patients with ASyS and healthy controls in a multicenter setting (6 Rheumatology Centers). Moreover, sonography of the common- (CCA), internal- (ICA) and external- (ECA) carotid arteries was performed in subsets of both groups, evaluating carotid intima-media-thickness (cIMT), plaques and duplex-sonographic indices of CBV risk such as the resistance- (RI) and pulsatility-index (PI).Figure 1.Carotid Doppler surrogate markers of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk in controls and ASyS (case).cIMTCarotid intima media thickness;CAA(common-),ICA(internal),ECA(external) carotid artery;RIresistance index;PIpulsatility index. (all;p< 0.05)Results:We recruited 66 ASyS patients with different anti-ARS and 88 controls. According to mSCORE5/50 (10%) of the patients had high CV risk. However, cfPWV and carotid sonography (CS) revealed an increased CV risk in21.2%and subclinical carotid arteriosclerosis (plaques and/or cIMT>0.9 mm) (SCA) in85.7%of the patients respectively. ROC analyses showed similarly poor diagnostic performances of SCORE/mSCORE in comparison to cfPWV(>10 m/s) and SAC by areas under the curve (AUC) of0.56 (95%CI=0.39-0.73) and0.63 (95%CI=0.3-0.96),respectively. cfPWV and SCA were higher in ASyS patients compared to controls (padj=0.021andp=0.003, respectively). cfPWV and cIMT correlated in the patient group significantly with age (r=0.679; p<0.001 and r=0.664; p<0.001,respectively).Moreover, cfPWV correlated with BMI (padj=0.001) and diabetes(padj=0.043). ACC-RI and ACC-PI showed significant associations with a marker of myositis activity [creatine phosphokinase (CPK):r=0.629;p=0.012andr=0.574;p=0.032, respectively]. Finally, ACI-RI and ACI-PI values were higher in patients with ILD (both;p=0.039).Conclusion:This is the first report of higher aortic stiffness and SCA in ASyS patients compared to controls. Active myositis and presence of ILD were associated with higher CVB risk parameters. Furthermore, SCORE/mSCORE performed poorly in identifying patients at high CV risk and carotid arteriosclerosis compared to cfPWV and CS respectively. Thus, cfPWV and CS could improve CV and CBV screening in ASyS patients.References:[1]Cavagna L, et al.

Abstract
Autologous bone marrow (BM) transplantation is being increasingly applied in hematological and oncological patients. However, because of the need to purify and preserve BM requiring high technology, such treatments are virtually concentrated in the “developed” countries. This paper examines methods of BM purification and freezing that could make the technique potentially applicable in developing countries. Hemapheresis is routinely applied for BM purification in our Dutch Centre, where the buffy coats obtained from routine blood donations were utilised in experimental settings. Using DMSO as cryoprotectant, semi-purified white cells were frozen in liquid N2 (LN2), by mechanical freezer or snap-frozen at -55° C. Different types of containers were compared including plastic tubes and ordinary blood bags. After thawing the results show that snap-freezing had a deleterious effect but the cell yields and viability were similar in LN2 or the mechanical freezer where the tubes and the bag were equally effective as containers (86% cell recovery with 90% viability). In the purification/concentration stage, reduction of the volume of the material by extra centrifugation, thus requiring less DMSO, produced better results — 96% cell yield and 90% viability after thawing. This simplified method was applied in a general hospital in Sao Paulo where four oncology patients underwent BM collection. BM was purified and concentrated within a blood bank facility. Hydroxyethyl starch sedimentation and centrifugation of the material in plastic blood bags gave 80% BM cell harvest. After thawing from the mechanical freezer 1 x 108 BM cells/kg were available for reinfusion to patients. There was no immediate untoward reaction. Three of the patients showed signs of bone marrow regeneration by three weeks, but one patient died 16 days after transplantation, of septicemia. We conclude that certain high-technology procedures for ABMT can be adapted for existing facilities in developing countries.

Abstract
The pathophysiological mechanisms associated with the effects of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion on cardiopulmonary function and inflammation are unclear. We developed an experimental model of homologous 14-days stored RBC transfusion in hypovolemic swine to evaluate the short-term effects of transfusion on cardiopulmonary system and inflammation. Sixteen healthy male anesthetized swine (68±3.3 kg) were submitted to controlled hemorrhage (25% of blood volume). Two units of non-filtered RBC from each animal were stored under blood bank conditions for 14 days. After 30 min of hypovolemia, the control group (n=8) received an infusion of lactated Ringer's solution (three times the removed volume). The transfusion group (n=8) received two units of homologous 14-days stored RBC and lactated Ringer's solution in a volume that was three times the difference between blood removed and blood transfusion infused. Both groups were followed up for 6 h after resuscitation with collection of hemodynamic and respiratory data. Cytokines and RNA expression were measured in plasma and lung tissue. Stored RBC transfusion significantly increased mixed oxygen venous saturation and arterial oxygen content. Transfusion was not associated with alterations on pulmonary function. Pulmonary concentrations of cytokines were not different between groups. Gene expression for lung cytokines demonstrated a 2-fold increase in mRNA level for inducible nitric oxide synthase and a 0.5-fold decrease in mRNA content for IL-21 in the transfused group. Thus, stored homologous RBC transfusion in a hypovolemia model improved cardiovascular parameters but did not induce significant effects on microcirculation, pulmonary inflammation and respiratory function up to 6 h after transfusion.

Abstract
The Working Party has met twice since the last report: in Seoul, South Korea 2014, and in London, UK 2015, both in association with the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) Congress. As in previous meetings, matters pertaining to blood group antigen nomenclature were discussed. Eleven new blood group antigens were added to seven blood group systems. This brings the current total of blood group antigens recognized by the ISBT to 346, of which 308 are clustered within 36 blood groups systems. The remaining 38 antigens are currently unassigned to a known blood group system.

Abstract
Background Group 5 allergens are small proteins that consist of two domains. They belong to the most potent respiratory allergens. Objective To determine the binding sites and to study allergic patients' IgE recognition of the group 5 allergen (Phl p 5) from timothy grass pollen using human monoclonal IgE antibodies that have been isolated from grass pollen allergic patients. Methods Using recombinant isoallergens, fragments, mutants and synthetic peptides of Phl p 5, as well as peptide-specific antibodies, the interaction of recombinant human monoclonal IgE and Phl p 5 was studied using direct binding and blocking assays. Cross-reactivity of monoclonal IgE with group 5 allergens in several grasses was studied and inhibition experiments with patients' polyclonal IgE were performed. Results Monoclonal human IgE showed extensive cross-reactivity with group 5 allergens in several grasses. Despite its small size of 29 kDa, four independent epitope clusters on isoallergen Phl p 5.0101, two in each domain, were recognized by human IgE. Isoallergen Phl p 5.0201 carried two of these epitopes. Inhibition studies with allergic patients' polyclonal IgE suggest the presence of additional IgE epitopes on Phl p 5. Conclusions & Clinical Relevance Our results reveal the presence of a large number of independent IgE epitopes on the Phl p 5 allergen explaining the high allergenic activity of this protein and its ability to induce severe allergic symptoms. High-density IgE recognition may be a general feature of many potent allergens and form a basis for the development of improved diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in allergic disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bacterial contamination of platelet concentrates (PCs) still remains a significant problem in transfusion with potential important clinical consequences, including death. The International Society of Blood Transfusion Working Party on Transfusion-Transmitted Infectious Diseases, Subgroup on Bacteria, organised an international study on Transfusion-Relevant Bacteria References to be used as a tool for development, validation and comparison of both bacterial screening and pathogen reduction methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four Bacteria References (Staphylococcus epidermidis PEI-B-06, Streptococcus pyogenes PEI-B-20, Klebsiella pneumoniae PEI-B-08 and Escherichia coli PEI-B-19) were selected regarding their ability to proliferate to high counts in PCs and distributed anonymised to 14 laboratories in 10 countries for identification, enumeration and bacterial proliferation in PCs after low spiking (0·3 and 0·03 CFU/ml), to simulate contamination occurring during blood donation. RESULTS Bacteria References were correctly identified in 98% of all 52 identifications. S. pyogenes and E. coli grew in PCs in 11 out of 12 laboratories, and K. pneumoniae and S. epidermidis replicated in all participating laboratories. The results of bacterial counts were very consistent between laboratories: the 95% confidence intervals were for S. epidermidis: 1·19-1·32 × 10(7) CFU/ml, S. pyogenes: 0·58-0·69 × 10(7) CFU/ml, K. pneumoniae: 18·71-20·26 × 10(7) CFU/ml and E. coli: 1·78-2·10 × 10(7) CFU/ml. CONCLUSION The study was undertaken as a proof of principle with the aim to demonstrate (i) the quality, stability and suitability of the bacterial strains for low-titre spiking of blood components, (ii) the property of donor-independent proliferation in PCs, and (iii) their suitability for worldwide shipping of deep frozen, blinded pathogenic bacteria. These aims were successfully fulfilled. The WHO Expert Committee Biological Standardisation has approved the adoption of these four bacteria strains as the first Repository for Transfusion-Relevant Bacteria Reference Strains and, additionally, endorsed as a project the addition of six further bacteria strain preparations suitable for control of platelet contamination as the next step of enlargement of the repository.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this work was to study the incidence of transfusion-induced platelet-reactive antibodies in a selective patient population and evaluate different methodologies for platelet antibody screening (PAS). MATERIALS AND METHODS The patients were retrospectively selected and divided into three separate groups: haematological malignancies (Group 1: n = 33); cardiac and orthopaedic patients (Group 2: n = 31) and a control group (Group 3: n = 23) selected with the same diagnoses of Group 2. PRE- and POST-transfusion samples were tested for PAS by the following tests: PIFT (platelet immunofluorescence test), MAIPA (monoclonal antibody immobilization of platelet antigen), Flow PRA(R) and LCT (lymphocytotoxicity test). RESULTS There was not a 100% concordance among the methodologies used. PIFT, MAIPA and Flow PRA presented very similar results whereas that of LCT differed from the other methods. A high rate of positive results (32%) was found in the PRE samples followed by an increase of almost 50% after blood transfusion (POST samples: 42.5% of positivity), but there was a statistical difference (P < 0.05) between the PRE and POST transfusion sample only for the Flow PRA(R) technique tested on Group 2. Human leucocyte antigen (HLA) class I antibodies were present on 97.4% of POST positive samples, 5.4% presented anti-human platelet antigen (HPA)-1b antibodies and 8.1% presented a mix of pan-reactive antibodies against glycoprotein IIbIIIa, IaIIa and IbIX. CONCLUSIONS Blood transfusion did not increase the rate of alloimmunization in our haematological patients (Group 1); however, the patients were already admitted with a high rate of alloimmunization (12%). Group 2 patients are being immunized and the impact of this procedure remains to be studied as these patients may eventually undergo further hospitalization and receive more blood transfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this article was to describe the experience of screening for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) p24 antigen (p24Ag) in blood donors, in four Brazilian Blood Banks, and to report the detection of the first window-period donation. MATERIALS AND METHODS During 61 months (May 96 to June 01), 103 470 consecutive donations were screened for HIV p24Ag using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. Testing was carried out in accordance with the instructions supplied with the kits. RESULTS Fifty-eight repeatedly reactive samples were identified [0.056% of the total; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.042-0.070]. Ten of the 58 were confirmed as p24Ag positive after neutralization (0.010%; 95% CI: 0.004-0.016), nine of the 10 (0.009%; 95% CI: 0.003-0.014) were also HIV antibody positive and only one (0.001%; 95% CI: 0-0.003) was HIV antibody negative. CONCLUSIONS In this setting the rate of sole p24Ag-positive donations was one in 103 740. This figure corresponds closely with the previously estimated yield of one in 87 796 donations. The yield of HIV p24Ag+ : Ab- has been previously estimated in our centres to be 1 : 87 796 donations, a value similar to that observed in actual practice.

Abstract
Fifty-seven IgG monoclonal anti-D antibodies were evaluated in the Rh flow cytometry section, in which 12 laboratories participated. Staining protocols and a fluorescein (FITC)-conjugated Fab fragment goat anti-human IgG (H + L) as a secondary antibody were recommended but not mandatory. A CcDEe red blood cell (RBC) sample that was shown to be homozygous for RHD by molecular methods was supplied and used as internal 'standard RBC' throughout all experiments. An RBC panel comprising two partial D and four weak D types was supplied as well. The use of standard RBC reduced the variability of the data among the laboratories and allowed the conversion of fluorescence data into epitope densities, which were compounded in an antigen density (antigen D per RBC). The highest antigen density was determined for DVI type III, followed by DVII and weak D type 3; the lowest antigen density were determined for weak D type 1 and type 2. Nine of the 12 participating laboratories discriminated three groups of aberrant RhD that had similar Rhesus indices (RI): D category VI with RI = 0; weak D type 2 and type 3 with an high RI; and D category VII and weak D type 1 with an intermediate RI. The antigen densities and the Rhesus indices obtained correlated well among the laboratories of this Workshop section despite different staining protocols, secondary antibodies and instrumentation.
