The effect of specimen hemolysis on coagulation test results.
TL;DR: A policy of rejecting hemolyzed specimens for coagulation tests should be revisited because the observed difference, when present, is unlikely to be considered clinically meaningful.

Storage of platelet‐rich plasma–derived platelet concentrate pools in plasma and additive solution

TL;DR: P Prestorage pooling of platelet (PLT)‐rich plasma (PRP)‐derived PLT concentrates (PCs) and storage in either plasma (PS) or an additive solution (AS) is logistically feasible and would result in a product similar to buffy‐coat or apheresis PLTs.

Stability of coagulation factors in plasma prepared after a 24‐hour room temperature hold
TL;DR: This data indicates that manufacture of plasma after a room temperature hold for 24 hours, while convenient, could compromise clotting factor levels.

Prestorage pooled whole-blood-derived leukoreduced platelets stored for seven days, preserve acceptable quality and do not show evidence of a mixed lymphocyte reaction.

TL;DR: P Prestorage pooling of whole‐blood–derived PCs (WBD‐PCs) would be advantageous to transfusion services in that it would make the product available in a more timely manner, reduce wastage of untransfused pools, and simplify bacterial screening by allowing testing of the pool rather than each single PLT concentrate (PC).

L-carnitine decreases glycolysis in liquid-stored platelets.
TL;DR: The platelet storage lesion is characterized metabolically by a pH decrease associated with lactic acid generation, a change in platelet morphology from discoid to spherical, and increased surface P‐selectin expression.
