Does the level of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 predict myocardial injury before cardiac markers increase?
Measuring the plasma concentration of sICAM-1 before the concentrations of cardiac markers increase in patients with MI may provide clinicians with faster and reliable data for deciding on and administering the most appropriate procedures and/or therapies.
Time of storage of PCs before pathogen inactivation has no significant impact on PCs quality. Pathogen inactivation procedure performed just after having received request for PCs is more cost effective than the routine pathogen inactivation in all PCs before storage.
