Does universal leukodepletion of blood components result in a significant reduction of febrile non-hemolytic but not allergic transfusion reactions?
In conclusion, acute NHTRs rarely occur after the use of leukodepleted blood components. Prestorage appears to be more effective than post-storage leukodepletion in preventing febrile reactions following a blood transfusion.
Veterinary students had favorable attitudes toward xenotransplantation, assuming that the animal organs functioned as well as human organs. Therefore, these students could play important roles in the future promotion of this technique.
