| Abstract | Transfusion of RBCs is often clinically necessary--and life-saving--for anemic patients. RBCs can be stored for up to 42 days between the time of donation and the time of transfusion. For many years, investigators have studied the biochemical changes that occur in RBCs stored before transfusion (the RBC 'storage lesion'). More recently, clinical studies have suggested that RBC units stored for long periods (often described as > 14-21 days) may mediate adverse effects in the recipient, leading to morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, these effects are difficult to identify and study because there are no agreed-upon mechanisms for these adverse events and few good assays to study them in individual transfusion recipients. We have proposed the hypothesis of insufficient NO bioavailability (INOBA) to explain the adverse events associated with transfusion of older RBC units. INOBA postulates that the combination of impaired NO production and increased NO scavenging by stored RBCs, together with reduced NO synthesis by dysfunctional endothelial cells, collectively reduce NO levels below a critical threshold in vascular beds. In this situation, inappropriate vasoconstriction occurs, leading to reduced blood flow and insufficient O(2) delivery to end organs. If confirmed, the INOBA hypothesis may lead to improved methods for blood storage and collection, as well as new screening and matching tools for blood donors and transfusion recipients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
