Background. Relationship between blood groups and dermatologic diseases remains controversial and was not yet fully elucidated nor explained clearly. The aim of this study was to examine if any relation exists between different types of pemphigoid diseases and ABO blood group. Methods. In this case-control study, 159 pemphigoid patients and 152 healthy matched-controls were evaluated. All blood...

Heteroleptic complexes, formed selectively by using a 1 : 1 combination of a sigma-donor and a pi-acceptor ligand, are involved in Rh- and Pd-catalysed reactions.

The cognitive bias model of animal welfare assessment is informed by studies with humans demonstrating that the interaction between emotion and cognition can be detected using laboratory tasks. A limitation of cognitive bias tasks is the amount of training required by animals prior to testing. A potential solution is to use biologically relevant stimuli that trigger innate emotional responses. ...

The present study deals with the distribution of A1A2BO and Rh blood groups among Gonds (107) and Panikas (115) of Anuppur district and Dindori district of Madhya Pradesh. The phenotypic frequency of blood group B was found to be higher among Gonds, whereas blood group O in Panikas. The phenotypic frequency distribution of Rh (D) antigens is higher than that of Rh (d) among both of the populati...

Ramos de Almeida, J. M., and Rosado, L. (1972). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 47, 609. Rh blood group of grandmother and incidence of erythroblastosis. Maternal red cells may cross the placental barrier and enter the fetal circulation, and this transfer may cause primary sensitization in Rh-negative girls born to Rh-positive mothers. 60 families were studied. Each family consisted of the gr...

In 1818, Blundell, an English obstetrician, performed blood transfusion to 11 parturients in order to resolve the massive hemorrhage, in which 5 were successfully treated, which largely improved the development of blood transfusion. In 1901, Landsteiner found the first human blood-group system (ABO blood groups), after which the discovery of the importance of cross-matching of blood between don...

The Kell blood group system is complex, contains many antigens, highly immunogenic, and potent in triggering immune reactions. Antibodies to Kell blood group system are the most common immune red cell antibodies, following ABO and Rh. However, among the anti-Kell antibodies; anti-Kpa is extremely rare. We report an interesting case of Anti-Kpa in a 59-year-old female patient of Non-Hodgkin's Ly...

98 Mexican Indians were tested for the blood properties A-B-O, A(1)-A(2), M-N, P, Rh'-Rh''-Rh(0)-rh, and Hr. Of the 98 Indians, 90.8 per cent belonged to group 0, 6.1 per cent belonged to A(1), and 3.1 per cent to group B. There were 61.2 per cent of type M, 3.1 per cent of type N, and 35.7 per cent of type MN. Of the 95 Mexican Indians tested with anti-P serum, 21.1 per cent were found to lack...

Many different blood group systems, such as Rh, ABO, Kell, Kidd, Duffy, MNS, have been reported as causes of hemolytic disease of the newborn. Hemolysis due to minor blood group incompatibility in the fetus or newborn has been determined in isolated case reports. Here, we report a case of a patient who had received red cell transfusion due to severe Rh c and E incompatibility, leading to hemoly...
