VOX Sanguinis

(ISSN 1423-0410)

Overview

Vox Sanguinis is an international journal published on behalf of the International Society of Blood Transfusion, reporting on significant developments and advancements in transfusion medicine.

Aims and Scope

Vox Sanguinis reports on all issues related to transfusion medicine, from donor vein to recipient vein, including cellular therapies. Comments, reviews, original articles, short reports and international fora are published, grouped into eight main sections:

1) Donors and Donations:

• Donor recruitment and retention

• Donor selection

• Donor health (vigilance, side effects of donation)

2) Blood Component Collection and Production:

• Blood collection methods and devices (including apheresis)

• Blood component preparation

• Inventory management

• Collection and storage of tissues

• Quality management and good manufacturing practice

• Automation and information technology

• Plasma fractionation techniques and plasma derivatives

3) Transfusion-transmitted Disease and its Prevention:

• Identification and epidemiology of infectious pathogens transmissible by blood

• Donor testing for transfusion-transmissible infectious pathogens

• Bacterial contamination of blood components

• Pathogen inactivation

4) Transfusion Medicine and New Therapies

• Transfusion practice, thresholds and audits

• Transfusion efficacy assessment, clinical trials

• Non-infectious transfusion adverse events

• Therapeutic apheresis

5) Haemovigilance

• Near misses, incidents and side effects throughout the transfusion chain

• Monitoring, reporting and analysis of those incidents and side effects

• Activities aiming at increasing the safety of the whole transfusion chain

• Standardization of the definition of incidents and side effects

6) Patient Blood Management

• Caring for patients who might need a transfusion

• Transfusion indication decision-making process

• Search for the optimal patient outcomes

• Study of transfusion alternatives

7) Immunohaematology and Immunogenetics:

• Autoimmunity in haematology

• Alloimmunity of blood

• Pre-transfusion testing

• Complement in immunohaematology

• Blood phenotyping and genotyping

• Complement in immunohaematology;

• Blood typing reagents;

• Genetic markers of blood cells and serum proteins: polymorphisms and function

• Parentage testing and forensic immunohaematology

8) Cellular Therapy

• Cell-based therapies

• CAR T-cell therapies

• Genetically modified cell therapies

• Cellular therapy (sources; products; processing and storage)

• Stem cells

• Cell-based regenerative medicine

• Cellular immunotherapy

• Molecular therapy
