Zmiany w badaniach kontroli jako ści składników krwi w Polsce
Conclusions The implementation of modern techniques/methods of blood component preparation as well as staff training at regular intervals contributed to higher percentage of blood components that meet quality control criteria. The periodical reduction in the number of PCs meeting minimum quality control criteria was most likely due to higher demand for this type of blood component and thus higher frequency of using split apheresis PCs.

Zastosowanie cytometrii przep ływowej w badaniach immunohematologicznych krwinek czerwonych
Publication date: Available online 27 July 2017 Source:Acta Haematologica Polonica Author(s): Jadwiga Fabijańska-Mitek, Anna Stachurska Flow cytometry (FC) has been primarily applied to the diagnosis of hematological malignancies, and thereafter, to detection and quantification of CD34+ cells in bone marrow transplants, and granulocytes in neutropenias and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). In PNH and hereditary spherocytosis, changes in some of the erythrocyte membrane proteins are tested (CD59, CD55, and band 3). The purpose of this paper is to focus on the use of FC in RBC testing. With anti-D, -HbF, and -C...

Publication date: Available online 27 July 2017 Source:Acta Haematologica Polonica Author(s): Artur Jurczyszyn, Magdalena Olszewska-Szopa Multiple myeloma accounting for 10% of malignancies of haematopoietic system is a heterogenous disease. In the era of individual approach to the patient, we are more and more interested in distinct features and forms of this malignancy. In the article, we described rare MM manifestations with reference to location (central nervous system and skin), M-protein produced by the tumor cells (biclonal and immunoglobulin M), early onset of the disease (young versus old) and pregnancy in MM ...

Jak rozpoznawa ć i leczyć chorobę Gauchera: zarys patofizjologii, objawów klinicznych, metod diagnostycznych i leczenia
Publication date: Available online 24 July 2017 Source:Acta Haematologica Polonica Author(s): Egle Sumskiene, Maciej Machaczka Rare diseases are a diagnostic challenge for modern medicine. Gaucher disease is a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disorder caused by the deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase. In the absence of known affected family member, frequent symptoms of Gaucher disease, such as thrombocytopenia or splenomegaly, often lead to hematological diagnostic workup. This review highlights pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, diagnostic and therapeutic principles of Gaucher disease...

Elevated serum concentrations of β-2-microglobulin are often found at the time of diagnosis of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in adults with lymphoid and myeloid malignancies
Conclusions: Elevated serum B2M level is a frequent finding at the time of hM-HLH diagnosis in adults. It seems to be a useful indicator of HLH for its early detection and evaluation afterward, as well as for immediate therapeutic intervention. Further prospective investigations answering the question whether serum B2M can be used as a prognostic factor in hM-HLH would be of interest. (Source: Acta Haematologica Polonica)
