The Transfusion-Associated Graft-Versus-Host Disease (TA-GVHD) is a serious potential complication of blood transfusions that is essentially prevented by blood product irradiation. In this study, scattering profiles from lyophilised and irradiated samples of plasma (PL) and formed elements (MC) were compared with ...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Hyperthermia (HT) on the Frequency of Chromosomal Aberrations (FCA) induced by a low dose of neutron irradiation. Blood samples were exposed to HT, 6cGy neutrons, HT + neutrons and neutrons + HT, and the FCA was scored in metaphase. HT alone at 41.5°C had no effect on FCA; however, the FCA was ...
