Overview

Blood is the circulating connective tissue that transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste, comprising cellular elements, red cells, white cells, and platelets, suspended in plasma. Its study spans haematology, transfusion medicine, and clinical chemistry, addressing the safe collection, screening, processing, and transfusion of blood and blood products, the measurement of analytes such as glucose and the assessment of parameters including blood pressure, and the diagnosis of disorders of coagulation and the blood cells. Research relevant to this area examines blood donation knowledge and misconceptions, blood-ordering practice for packed red blood cells, and collaborative blood-transfusion and management systems. Allied work addresses the seroprevalence of transfusion-transmissible infections among blood donors, non-invasive continuous blood-glucose measurement, standards for blood-pressure assessment in research, inherited bleeding disorders arising from mutations in coagulation factors, peripheral blood stem-cell mobilisation, and confirmation testing in the diagnosis of viral hepatitis among donors. These studies integrate transfusion medicine, haematology, infectious-disease screening, and clinical measurement to ensure blood safety and to characterise blood-related health states. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on blood, transfusion and donation practice, and the analysis of Body Fluids and their constituents.
