  1. 1. Platelet function after storage in leukocyte : reduced whole blood and preheating to 37°C

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Alma Bolmsvik; Sofia Bjelkvik; [2023]
    Keywords : Blood platelets; blood transfusion; flow cytometry; blood cell count; platelet membrane glycoproteins; platelet activation.;

    Abstract : Introduction: Whole blood transfusions are indicated for the resuscitation of patients with hemorrhagic trauma. In Sweden, whole blood is stored for 14 days at 4°C. If possible, refrigerated blood is rewarmed to 37°C before transfusion to avoid hypothermia. Platelets contribute to hemostasis and can be activated with several pathways. READ MORE

  3. 2. Buffer modification: A case study with polystyrene beads, DU145-, and MCF7 cell lines

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Olivia Hansson Rengbrandt; [2023]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Separation of cancer cells gives advantages in understanding the disease, guiding treatment decisions, and facilitating drug development. Overall, separation plays an important role in biological research. Acoustophoresis is a technique that utilizes acoustic waves to separate particles and cells suspended in a buffer medium.

  4. 3. Evaluation of the platelet yield index on interim platelet units from Reveos by comparison with platelet count from Sysmex

    University essay from

    Author : Jennifer Ahlin; [2023]
    Keywords : fluorescent flow cytometry; transfusion; blood component; automation; blood processing system;

    Abstract : Background: Platelets are the smallest cells in the blood and are involved in the wound healing process. Platelet transfusion is an important part of treating illnesses such as thrombocytopenia and to prevent and stop major bleedings. READ MORE

  5. 4. Detecting red blood cells and platelets in blood smears using a single multi-class object detector

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Timothy Burfield; Sophia Carlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Blood analysis is an integral part of diagnostic medicine and used in most medical fields. The concentrations of red blood cells and platelets, and ratio between these, are used for diagnosing several diseases. CellaVision develops machines and software for automatically capturing images of blood sample smears and detecting its cellular contents. READ MORE

  6. 5. An investigation of the interactions between clay nanoplatelets in the presence of monovalent and divalent salts, as well as cationic peptides utilising atomistic molecular dynamics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Mona Koder Hamid; [2020]
    Keywords : clay; molecular dynamics simulations; physical chemistry; fysikalisk kemi; theoretical chemistry; teoretisk kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Clays are negatively charged nanoplatelets with a layered silicate structure. It has been observed from small angle X-ray scattering measurements, and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations (CG-MD) that clay nanoplatelets are able to form stacks, known as tactoids, in the presence of divalent or multivalent counterions [8, 5].
