* Hemovigilance is a "quality process" which aims to improve quality and increase safety of blood transfusion, by surveying all activities of the blood transfusion chain, from donors to recipients. Hemovigilance programmes have now been in existence for over 15 years, but many countries and centers are still at the development stage. This valuable resource brings together the main elements of such programmes and shows the different types of models available. A general introduction includes Chapters on hemovigilance as a quality tool for transfusion as well as concepts of and models for hemovigilance. The core of the book describes how Hemovigilance systems have been set up and how they work in hospitals, blood establishments, and at a national level. These Chapters are written according to a structured template: products and processes, documentation of jobs, monitoring and assessment, implementation and evaluation of measures for improvement, education and training. Chapters on Hemovigilance at the International level, Achievements and new developments complete the picture. Hemovigilance is above all a practical guide to setting up and improving hemovigilance systems, whilst raising awareness for reporting adverse events and reactions. This is the first international book on hemovigilance, assembling all the vital issues in one definitive reference source - essential reading for all staff involved in the transfusion process.

In a future Los Angeles, vampires are forced to protect themselves from roving gangs intent on ridding the city of the undead. In the year 2038, vampires might have civil rights, but that doesn't mean the population treats them with civility. Master Vampire Marcus Verano wants to put an end to the violence, but the charter they signed states that no human must be harmed in any confrontation. To that end, the Vigilance group is formed to patrol the streets of downtown Los Angeles and take care of trouble from roving street gangs before it escalates. Ross Delaney, owner of popular downtown bar The Bitter Brew, comes to the aid of vampire Tristan Munro when he is attacked. Ross is intrigued by the vampire and asks him to return the following night—which he does...and many nights thereafter. As a Vigilance member, Tristan is partnered with Leah, a fiery red-haired female who resents being subjugated by humans—and male vampires. It isn't long before she rebels against the Vigilance and seeks vengeance on humans, holding Ross hostage and defying Marcus and Tristan. Can she be stopped, or will her actions destroy the Vigilance...and the growing relationship between Ross and Tristan? Reader advisory: This book contains scenes of violence and death.

Three major features set French transfusion medicine apart from other international models: in France, blood donation is underpinning by four founding principles : it is anonymous, voluntary, non-remunerated and not-for-profit. “Ethical blood donation” is the foundation of the French model; - this model is led by a single government agnecy, the EFS, which has a monopoly over the distribution of labile blood products to ensure constant availability across the country; - delivery is inseparable from immunohaematology (the EFS is the largest medical testing laboratory in France) and transfusion support, which is also provided by the EFS, to guide the prescriber towards the “right prescription” (the right product for the right patient). Through the EFS, the French State is therefore responsible for selfsufficiency, health safety and the efficient management of the rare and precious commodity that is human blood. The French model is one of the few to provide both “ethical blood donation” and internationally recognized efficiency.

When Tynan Llywelyn awoke after a century of Sleep he found himself tethered to a war between a global technological dictatorship and the rebel uprising it sought to crush. Tynan realized quickly that his path in this new world was to be nothing less than extraordinary, embroiled in a web of tragedy, betrayal, and blood. In the wake of the death of Lord Cardone III and the system failure of the Chronous matrix, both humanity and vampire alike now struggle to redefine themselves in societal darkness and twisted co-dependency of one another to survive their common enemy, the Tyst Empire. Tynan himself is caught in a new political war of his own. Emerging victorious from his final battle, the Immortals have appointed him to a place of power amongst their ranks. However, Tynan's desire to return to his previous path as the philosophical leader of the vampire race creates a moral and ethical divide within him, as well as a deep concern for the women he loves. Amidst a seething, unstable world where conspiracy and violence thrives in every shadow, Tynan must walk a perilous new path lest he watch the world he just saved burn to ashes around him.

Vigilance or sustained attention is a critical aspect of many jobs including air-traffic control, airport security, industrial quality control, and medical screening/monitoring. Traditional approaches to personnel selection for tasks requiring sustained attention have focused on sensory acuity, aptitude, sex, age, and personality measures. However these approaches have been ineffective. The present study attacked the selection issue in an innovative manner by using responses to a brief 10-min screening battery involving high workload tracking, verbal working memory, and line discrimination tasks to predict performance on a subsequent vigilance task. The latter simulated an air-traffic control task and was composed of four consecutive 9-min periods of watch. Two predictors of interest were cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV), measured via transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (Warm & Parasuraman, 2007), and subjective state, as indexed by the Dundee Stress State Questionnaire (DSSQ; Matthews, et al; 2002). The results testify to the importance of assessing task-induced responses for predicting vigilance performance. They also indicate that forecasting vigilance performance is a complex endeavor requiring a set of multidimensional predictors. Specifically, multiple regression (R = .358) indicated that higher levels of CBFV in the left and right hemispheres and higher post-battery task engagement scores on the DSSQ during performance of the screening battery predicted perceptual sensitivity (A') during the final period of watch when performance deficiencies are most likely to occur. Predictions from a correlation of this magnitude, which accounts for 9.7 percent of the variance when adjusted for shrinkage, can lead to an increase in job success rate of 40 to 60 percent (Koelega, 1992; Rosenthal & Rubin, 1982). These findings were interpreted theoretically in light of a resource model of vigilance proposed by Davies & Parasuraman (1982).

Although neuroimaging research has been successful in identifying brain regions involved in vigilance, such research has not related changes in the regions so identified to the efficiency with which observers perform the task. Thus, Parasuraman, Warm, and See (1998) have argued that the functional role of these brain systems in vigilance remains generally unknown. Mayleben et al. (1999) and Hitchcock et al. (in press) attempted to overcome the limitations of previous studies through the use of the Transcranial Doppler Sonography (TCD), a noninvasive neuroimaging technique that permits continuous monitoring of blood flow velocity in the mainstem intracranial arteries. Their research indicated that the vigilance decrement is accompanied by parallel declines in blood flow over time in the right hemisphere. These studies required observers to make sensory discriminations to detect critical signals. However, vigilance tasks can also require discriminations that are more symbolic than sensory in character. Such tasks are termed cognitive vigilance tasks (Davies & Tune, 1969). Nothing is known about blood flow changes with these types of vigilance tasks. Accordingly, this study measured TCD-determined blood flow during the performance of two cognitive tasks (simple and complex), as well as a sensory task. Blood flow in the right middle cerebral artery paralleled performance, indexed in terms of the accuracy of signal detections, for all three tasks, but not the speed of signal detections. Results are consistent with prior neuroimaging findings of right hemisphere dominance in vigilance, but not with arguments that signal detections and response time are equivalent measures of the same underlying process (Buck, 1966). In addition to blood flow measurements, this study also examined stress reactions to the cognitive as compared to the sensory vigilance tasks by means of the Dundee Stress State Questionnaire (DSSQ, Matthews et al., 1999). The results indicated that the cognitive tasks and the sensory task elicited the same pattern of stress reactions found in several other studies employing the DSSQ to assess the stress of sustained attention (Matthews et al., in press). Specifically, Distress increased and Task Engagement decreased from pre- to post-vigil.

Vigilance or sustained attention is a critical aspect of many jobs including air-traffic control, medical screening/monitoring, and detection of illicit radioactive material at seaports and border crossings. An extensive review by Reinerman (2006) concluded that traditional approaches to personnel selection encompassing sensory acuity, aptitude, sex, age, and personality measures for tasks requiring sustained attention have been ineffective. The present study utilized the methodology from Reinerman et al. (2006), which attacked the selection issue using responses to a brief 10-min screening battery involving high workload tracking, verbal working-memory, and line discrimination tasks to predict performance on a subsequent sensory vigilance task. Two predictors of interest were cerebral blood flow velocity, measured via transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (Warm and Parasuraman, 2007) and subjective state, as indexed by the Dundee Stress State Questionnaire (Matthews et al; 2002). The present vigilance task was a letter transformation working-memory task and was composed of four consecutive 9-min periods. Such cognitive vigilance tasks require different information-processing components and responses than those of sensory tasks. The aim for the present study was to generalize the findings of Reinerman et al. (2006) to that of cognitive vigilance. Multiple regression (R = .577) indicated that higher levels of CBFV in the left and right hemispheres and higher post-battery task engagement scores on the DSSQ during performance of the screening battery predicted perceptual sensitivity (A') during the final period of watch when performance deficiencies are most likely to occur. Predictions from a correlation of this magnitude, which accounts for 28.1 percent of the variance when adjusted for shrinkage, can lead to an increase in job success rate of 40 to 60 percent (Rosenthal and Rubin, 1982). These findings were interpreted theoretically in light of a resource-workload model of vigilance (Davies and Parasuraman, 1982).
