Two Cases of Transfusion Related Acute Lung Injury

Abstract

Transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a serious, potentially life-threatening complication of transfusion therapy that is sometimes under diagnosed and under reported. Patients with TRALI present with dyspnea/respiratory distress and fever. The symptoms, signs and chest radiological findings in TRALI are similar to transfusion associated circulatory overload, which makes it is difficult to distinguish it from circulatory overload. Although the mortality rate in cases of TRALI is relatively low, TRALI is the third most common cause of fatal transfusion reactions next to ABO blood type incompatibility and hepatitis. Mild-to-moderate cases of TRALI may be misdiagnosed as volume overload. Recently, we encountered two cases where the patients suffered from dyspnea and fever after a transfusion. and review of the relevant literature. (Tuberc Respir Dis 2006; 61: 473-478)

Ethylene glycol assisted spray pyrolysis for the synthesis of hollow BaFe12O19 spheres

“…The solution was then transferred to an ultrasonic nebulizer (Intertek, 1.7 MHz) to generate fine and uniform liquid droplets. In room air pulled by building vacuum at the end of the system, the droplets flowed through a tube furnace (length: 1.0 m; inner diameter: 0.08 m) at 1000 1C to thermally decompose the precursors and produce BaFe 12 rate was controlled to 5 L/min. The product was then cooled down by a heat exchanger, and finally collected by a fiber filter.…”

“…Citric acid (CA), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), ethylene glycol (EG), polyethylene glycol (PEG) and ethanol alone or in combination have been used in organic-assisted spray pyrolysis to synthesize metal oxides, and different organics lead to different morphologies of the products [8,[11][12][13][14][15][16]. EG-assisted spray pyrolysis has never been applied to BaFe 12 O 19 synthesis, and previous research of organic-assisted spray pyrolysis mainly focuses on different reaction temperatures [8,[11][12][13][14][15][16]; the effects of organic concentration are rarely investigated. In this study, we applied EG-assisted spray pyrolysis to BaFe 12 O 19 particle synthesis and studied the effects of EG concentration in the precursor solution on product morphology, crystallization and magnetic properties.…”
