Red blood cell alloimmunisation in multi-transfused patients from an haemodialysis service in Burkina Faso
Koumpingnin Nebie, Salam Sawadogo, Salifo Sawadogo, Jerome Koulidiati, Habi Y.A Lengani, Abdoul G. Sawadogo, Jerôme Babinet, Mohammed Khalloufi, Saliou Diop, Eleonore Kafando.
Background: In Burkina Faso, red blood cell (RBC) transfusion remains the crucial anaemia treatment following chronic renal failure (CRF) as erythropoietin and its analogues are unavailable. However, blood group matching beyond the ABO and Rhesus is not common in Burkina Faso. Thus, alloimmunisation is a potential issue for transfused patients(...)

Sorption of Bisphenol A as Model for Sorption Ability of Organoclays
S. Issaka Garikoé, Boubié Guel and Ingmar Persson
he arrangement of bisphenol A molecules into organoclays and their interactions with the intercalated surfactant were studied. The organoclays were prepared via solid-state intercalation of four cationic surfactants, such as dodecyltrimethyl-, tetradecyltrimethyl-, hexadecyltrimethyl-, and didodecyldimethyl-ammonium, as bromide salts, at diffe(...)
