TRANSFUSION THERAPY [4 records]

Record 1 2021-10-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Blood
DEF

The antibody-rich plasma of someone who is recovering from an infectious disease.

CONT

Convalescent plasma is collected through the plasma donation process.

OBS

The body of a person with an infectious disease produces antibodies. These antibodies remain in the plasma to shield the person from reinfection. In theory, the antibodies could be used to treat other people with the same disease.

PHR

convalescent plasma therapy, convalescent plasma transfusion

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sang
DEF

Plasma riche en anticorps d'une personne qui se rétablit d'une maladie infectieuse.

CONT

Le plasma de convalescent sera recueilli selon le processus du don de plasma.

OBS

Le corps d'une personne atteinte d'une maladie infectieuse produit des anticorps. Les anticorps restent dans le plasma pour protéger la personne contre une réinfection. En théorie, les anticorps pourraient être utilisés pour traiter d'autres personnes atteintes de la même maladie.

OBS

plasma convalescent; plasma sanguin convalescent : Les désignations «plasma convalescent» et «plasma sanguin convalescent» sont inexactes, car elles laissent entendre que c'est le plasma «qui se rétablit», alors qu'il s'agit en réalité du plasma d'une personne convalescente. Pour cette raison, leur emploi est déconseillé.

PHR

traitement par plasma de convalescent, transfusion de plasma de convalescent

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Sangre
OBS

plasma de convaleciente; plasma convaleciente: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que en la expresión "plasma de convaleciente" [...] no es adecuado omitir la preposición "de". [...] La expresión "plasma de convaleciente" no es más que una combinación descriptiva que alude a la parte líquida de la sangre (el plasma) de una persona que ha superado una enfermedad (el convaleciente). Por ello, resulta inapropiado aplicar esta última voz como adjetivo al propio plasma ["plasma convaleciente"], pues con ello se diría que es el líquido el que se ha recuperado.

Record 2 1996-08-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Surgery
OBS

Otherwise known as "transfusion-free", bloodless medicine and surgery is a state-of-the art approach to the proper management of a disease or condition. It employs both non-invasive medical care and invasive/surgical care as part of a strategy to avoid blood transfusion. Bloodless medicine incorporates the best, documented, rational approaches available, and should not be misunderstood as a less effective alternative therapy.
