Article Abstract
Neonates and children are physically as well as physiologically different from adults. They are immunologically vulnerable, and the effects of transfusion can be longstanding, including with respect to their development. The transfusion reactions in children differ from those in adults in the type of reactions, incidence, and severity. The incidence is more than that in adults for the common type of reactions noted in children. Transfusion reactions are most commonly associated with platelets, followed by plasma and red blood cell transfusions in children. Febrile, allergic, and hypotensive reactions or volume overload are the common types in children. Standardizing pediatric adverse transfusion reaction definitions and criteria are necessary to improve studies and reports. Several modifications are needed to be adapted for transfusing blood products in neonates and children to evade the reactions as much as possible and make transfusion safer in this vulnerable population. This article provides a brief articulation of the transfusion reactions in neonatal and pediatric populations describing how they are different from adults.

Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries associated with blood transfusion in a young woman: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)

Rationale: Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) has diverse ischemic etiologies and has been defined by the absence of angiographically significant obstructive coronary artery disease. Blood transfusion has seldom been reported as a precipitating factor for MINOCA. Here, we present a rare case of transfusion-associated MINOCA in a young woman without underlying chronic conditions, aiming to raise clinical awareness of this uncommon yet important phenomenon and to explore its potential pathophysiological mechanisms.

Background: Lon protease 1 (LONP1), an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent protease encoded by nuclear DNA that is highly conserved, maintains the mitochondrial protein balance and regulates adaptive responses to cellular stress. LONP1 dysfunction ultimately results in various forms of cellular and tissue damage. The function of LONP1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and how it affects HCC growth were investigated in this work.

Background: Thalassemias are inherited red blood cell disorders characterized by defective globin production, resulting in microcytic hypochromic anemia. Severe variants lead to transfusion dependence and consequent iron overload, often despite chelation therapy. The role of automated red blood cell exchange (RBCX) for transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) is unclear and previously there was no specific apheresis parameters specific for thalassemia defined.

Introduction: Several approved iron chelators exist, but they may cause significant adverse reactions in some patients. It is essential to explore complementary treatments that enhance compliance and minimize side effects.
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of chicory in reducing serum ferritin levels in transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia patients.
