Blood Irradiator; Used To Prevent Rare But Serious Complication of Blood Transfusions

 

Blood Irradiator
Blood Irradiator 

Blood irradiator is a life-saving technology that prevents graft-versus-host disease associated with blood transfusions, a condition that can be fatal for blood transfusion recipients with compromised immune systems. Blood irradiation is a therapy in which blood components are irradiated prior to transfusion, to prevent proliferation of certain types of T lymphocytes. It is an alternative medical procedure in which the blood is exposed to low level light (often laser light) for therapeutic reasons.

These medical devices are extensively used in blood banks and hospitals for blood irradiation and for clinical and research purposes, such as in cancer research and for blood transfusion. Blood irradiation is necessary for those who are at risk for graft versus host disease, including individuals receiving platelets, patients undergoing hematopoietic transplantation, and fetuses receiving intrauterine transfusions. Blood irradiator is used to expose a wide range of samples to gamma radiation for a variety of purposes.

Irradiation of blood & blood products by gamma rays is a proven and safe method eliminate the risk of post transfusion graft versus host disease Gamma Irradiation Chambers are also used extensively in academic institutions for research and analysis. Irradiated blood is often used to prevent a very rare but serious complication of blood transfusions called 'transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease', in which lymphocytes from transfused blood component attack the recipient's tissues, especially the skin, bone marrow, and gastrointestinal tract.

Gamma irradiation of blood products has been the mainstay of TA-GVHD prevention. Japan uses universal irradiation of all labile blood components, as a higher rate of TA-GvHD has been reported due to common HLA tissue types. The Japan Society of Transfusion Medicine and Cell Therapy issued first guidelines on the irradiation of blood and blood components to prevent PT-GVHD in 1992, and issued the fifth version of the guidelines in 2010.

Bispecific Antibodies Are Used As Therapeutic Drugs While Treating Viral Infections, Oncology, And Auto-Immune Diseases

Image
  Bispecific Antibodies Bispecific antibodies are produced through cell fusion or recombinant DNA technologies. Bispecific antibodies are much more specific than monoclonal antibodies. Their applications in tumor immunotherapy are nearly limitless. As of today, seven bispecific antibodies have been approved by the FDA and EMA and over one hundred are in preclinical testing. Bispecific antibodies were initially developed using the quadroma technology. They contain two distinct antigen-binding arms, which enable them to bind to the target antigen while also activating an effector cell, which kills tumor cells. The primary antigen on the surface of the effector cell is called CD3, which is a popular target of immune cells. According to Coherent Market insights the Bispecific Antibodies Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028. Many of these multi specific antibody formats have been developed over the past 30 years. These categories ...

Organic Milk Has Much Higher Concentration Of Iron, Vitamin E, And Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Omega-3 And Omega-6 As Compared To Regular Milk

Image
  Organic Milk Organic Milk is milk made from livestock raised using organic farming practices. The use of the term "organic" is regulated by food authorities in most jurisdictions. Organic cows are not allowed to be given hormones, which stimulate milk production. Organic feed also must be grown without the use of synthetic pesticides. Organic cows must get a certain percentage of their diet from grazing, although most organic dairies supplement the grass with grain. However, organic grazing cows produce less milk than cows that eat a grain-based diet. Buying organic milk may be a better investment for your health. According to Coherent Market Insights the Organic Milk Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028. The standards for organic milk are stringent. To meet the organic standard, a dairy farm cannot use any form of animal growth hormones or antibiotics. Organic cows must spend at least 30% of their lives on pasture. C...
