Review
This article reviews the history, technique, effects, side effects, and detection of blood boosting. It also considers whether or not this particular performance enhancement technique is a thing of the past or a continuing form of abuse among athletes.

Observational Study
This study aimed to investigate blood transfusion rates and spectrum of diseases in hospitalized neonates treated with blood transfusion in China to provide supporting data for future studies on neonatal blood transfusion.Data on hospitalized neonates were obtained from more than 100 experts from the Department of Neonatology of 55 hospitals in China between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2016, using a standardized survey. A statistical analysis was conducted to evaluate the data collected, including the blood transfusion rates, blood component transfused, spectrum of diseases, and spectrum of major diseases.Between 2012 and 2016, 541,128 neonates were hospitalized in the 55 hospitals surveyed. There were 70,433 neonates who received blood transfusion, with an average transfusion rate of 13.02%. The rates of red blood cell transfusion, platelet transfusion, and plasma transfusion were 9.44%, 0.66%, and 4.77%, respectively. The neonatal blood transfusion rate was 17.99% in Northeast China, 9.74% in Northwest China, and between 10.60% and 16.22% in other regions. The neonatal blood transfusion rate was 12.3% in general hospitals and 13.8% in women and children's hospitals. The top 10 diseases identified in hospitalized neonates treated by blood transfusion were, in rank order, as follows:prematurity,pneumonia, hyperbilirubinemia, bacterial sepsis, respiratory distress syndrome, anemia, hemolytic disease, asphyxia, hemorrhage, and necrotizing enterocolitis.The neonatal blood transfusion rate in China is 13.03%.The rank order in the disease spectrum of the hospitalized neonates and that in hospitalized neonates treated with blood transfusion are different.

In veterinary medicine, blood transfusion is commonly performed on companion animals. The common marmoset is a small nonhuman primate with increasing popularity as an animal model in biomedical research. Because of its small whole blood volume, the marmoset is at high risk of exsanguination, and blood transfusion is required to care for life-threatening bleeding. However, few clinical evaluations exist on transfusions for marmosets. This study performed whole blood transfusion with cross-matching on nine marmosets and surveyed the therapeutic effects. Recipients included clinical cases with persistent bleeding, anemia, and coma, as well as animals subjected to postoperative bleeding prophylaxis. Donors were selected from healthy marmosets, including littermates. Cross-match assay before transfusion were all negative, and recipients showed no visible signs of transfusion-related adverse reactions. Whole blood transfusions caused hemostasis and successful recovery in bleeding marmosets, including long-term improvement of anemia cases. Our results indicated that blood transfusion is effective for marmosets with severe anemia and persistent hemorrhage from both non-experimental and surgical causes. Furthermore, DNA sequencing for blood-group classification revealed that all subject marmosets were type A, suggesting that the risk of blood type mismatch may be low in this species.

BACKGROUND Blood transfusion is common during liver resection (LR). The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of intraoperative transfusion of different blood components on post-LR morbidity. MATERIAL AND METHODS We included 610 patients undergoing LR and grouped them according to intraoperative transfusion of different blood components: packed red blood cells only (PRBC, n=81); frozen fresh plasma, platelets, and cryoprecipitate (FPC, n=38); transfusion only with PRBC + FPC transfusion (n=244); and no blood transfusion (n=247). Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was used to mitigate selection bias in comparisons. RESULTS The overall blood transfusion rate was 59.5%. In comparison with the no blood transfusion group, PRBC-only and PRBC + FPC transfusion were more common in patients with lower preoperative hemoglobin, worse liver function, larger tumor size, and undergoing a major LR, and thus were associated with increased postoperative morbidity. In contrast, FPC-only transfusion was more frequent in patients with a liver function of Child-Pugh B and lower preoperative albumin vs. the no blood transfusion group. In the propensity model, transfusion of PRBC (PRBC-only and PRBC+FPC) and FPC (FPC-only and FPC+PRBC) were significantly associated with increased postoperative complications vs. the no blood transfusion group (OR and 95% CI, 1.9 [1.2-2.7], p=0.002; OR and 95% CI, 1.6 [1.0-2.4], p=0.029). In contrast, intraoperative PRBC-only or FPC-only transfusion showed no significant adverse effects on postoperative morbidity. CONCLUSIONS Allogenic transfusion of PRBC and FPC blood components was associated with increased postoperative morbidity after liver surgery. Different blood components should be used only when absolutely necessary.

Blood transfusion in Mali is constantly confronted with the problem of the availability of blood products, even in life-threatening emergencies. Although the number of donations increases each year, so does the need for blood products; donations do not appear to meet demand. With an infrastructure that does not meet standards for security, confidentiality, or quality, the Mali national blood transfusion center has nonetheless seen an increase in donations - from 30,000 annually in 2007-2010 to about 50,000 donations in 2015. Immunohematological analyses for donors and patients are limited to ABOD antigens. In 2015, the prevalence of markers for HIV was 3%, for HBV 15.5 %, for HCV 1.7%, and for syphilis 0.1 %. This situation has been the subject of an analysis of the needed improvements and prospects for them at all stages of the transfusion chain.
