Summary: This study provides practical steps on how to translate the European Physiotherapy Guideline for Parkinson's Disease, using the Portuguese version as an example. Ten recommended translation steps were defined, including expert review, backward translation, review, final draft, etc. The need for detailed and multifaceted translation process was demonstrated by the additional adjustments required for the Portuguese version.

Summary: This retrospective study examined ultramassive transfusion cases at a trauma center over an 11-year period and found that the proportion of blood products transfused was associated with mortality. Early identification of coagulopathy and transfusing blood components in appropriate ratios were associated with reduced mortality.

Summary: This study aimed to describe the factors associated with blood transfusion in polytraumatized patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The results showed that transfused patients had higher severity scores and a higher incidence of kidney failure. Therefore, clinical practice guidelines regarding blood transfusion and its practices need to be considered.

Summary: The research on Chinese-English public sign translation in China has gone through different stages of development, with fruitful results achieved. However, there are still some deficiencies, such as repetition of research content and limited scope of investigation. Future research should be more diversified and in-depth, and the coverage of areas of research should be expanded.

Summary: The COVID-19 outbreak led to a decreased utilization of blood products in hospitals due to social distancing measures and reduced blood donors. A retrospective study conducted in Korea found that there was a significant decrease in blood component transfusions and postoperative usage in 2020 compared to 2019. However, patient prognosis in terms of hospital stay and mortality did not show significant differences between the two years.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the impact of introducing an intraoperative blood conservation bundle (BCB) checklist on perioperative blood transfusion rates during myomectomy. The results showed that the introduction of BCB helped reduce intraoperative blood loss and was in line with best practice care.

Summary: This review examines the pathophysiology, geographic variation, and historical developments of fixed ratio versus whole blood resuscitation for hemorrhaging trauma patients. It introduces a physiologically driven and goal-directed alternative to guide blood component and factor concentrate administration to severely bleeding trauma patients, with a focus on major studies and upcoming comparative trials.

Summary: This study reveals the translator's voice in six English versions of the Chinese classic Daxue by analyzing language and non-language choices made by each translator. The findings suggest that the translator's cultural identity, historical background, and motives are evident in the translations. The study highlights the correlation between the translator's voice and the cultural and ideological constructs of translation.

Summary: Granulocyte transfusions are commonly used in the treatment of severe neutropenia with refractory infection, but there is still uncertainty regarding the optimal use of these transfusions. The short shelf life of current products limits timely access and poses challenges for practice and clinical studies. Future methods should focus on optimizing donor-derived granulocyte products, such as manufactured neutrophils or improved functionality and longevity of existing ones.
