Does a rabbit model for monitoring in vivo viability of human platelet concentrate using flow cytometry?
The rabbit model elaborated is sufficiently sensitive to reveal differences in human platelet viability in vivo between conventional and cold-damaged PCs. It may be useful for comparing viability of different platelet components that cannot be readily tested in human transfusions.
Odontoid lateral mass interspace asymmetry in the absence of cervical tenderness and with a normal atlantodental interval is likely in the normal range and need not be further investigated.
