BACKGROUND Possible immunization to blood group or other antigens and subsequent inhibition of remodeling or incorporation after use of untreated human bone allograft was described previously. This study presents the immunological, clinical and radiological results of 30 patients with acetabular revisions using fresh frozen non-irradiated bone allograft. METHODS AB0-incompatible (donor-recipi...

The routine blood screening test carried out for pregnant women attending antenatal clinic in Tertiary Hospital Port Harcourt, Nigeria especially with regards to group system is limited ABO/Rh D antigen screening. This cross-sectional, hospital-based study was aimed at determining the prevalence of Rh C, c, E and e antigens multiparous Nigeria. A total one hundred twenty (120) females within ag...

the evolution of human blood groups, without doubt, has a history as old as man himself. there are at least three hypotheses about the emergence and mutation of human blood groups. global distribution pattern of blood groups depends on various environmental factors, such as disease, climate, altitude, humidity etc. in this survey, the collection of main blood groups abo and rh, along with some ...

INTRODUCTION ABO and Rh blood group systems are the most important blood grouping systems from clinical aspect. Determination of blood group is important for blood transfusion therapy, medico-legal purposes, organ transplantation, settlement of paternity disputes etc. METHODS A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out for a period of one year from 1st January 2011 to 31st December 20...

in this paper we carried out an exact statistics on the basis of total admission due to abortions, with following results: 1- abortion incidence is 14 of total admissions. 2- 46.8 of abortions were between the 8th and 12th weeks of gestation. 3- 42,038 of the patients with abortion were 24 years old or younger (younger than 25 years of age). 4- the abortion incidence is equal in different blood...

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by Virus (DENV), which concluding serotypes (1-4) through mosquito bites and transmitted into humans. DHF endemic has increasing cases every year in almost region Indonesia, such as Kabupaten Sleman. Currently, screening for Infectious Diseases Transmitted Blood Transfusion blood donor only requires Hepatitis B, C, HIV, Syphilis, despite any ot...

OBJECTIVE To compare surgical outcomes for robotic assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy (RH) to other minimally invasive hysterectomy (MIH) types, including total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH), and vaginal hysterectomy (VH). METHODS Retrospective cohort study of all patients who underwent RH or MIH for benign indications between January...

We aimed to determine the distribution of the ABO and Rh blood groups in 832 patients with a tendon rupture. Among these, the frequency of blood group O (52.8%) was significantly higher than in the general population of Hungary (31.1%) and the frequency of group A was significantly lower. Of the 83 cases of multiple ruptures or re-rupture, 57 patients (68.7%) had group O blood. The dominance of...

Background: Blood is considered to be the most common trace evidence obtained from the scene of crime. Blood grouping reveals vital information regarding identification, in relation to crime investigation. With this respect contaminat effect on blood grouping was studied. Material and methods: Randomly A, B, AB, Rh positive samples were taken in duplicates and were added with rusted pins, dust ...

Polymorphisms within the Rh blood group system have been defined by serologic agglutination methods, but have not yet been defined at the DNA level. Two closely related genes associated with the Rh D antigen and with the Rh C/c and E/e antigens have been cloned. We used a Southern analysis incorporating probes to the 5' and 3' regions of the Rh C, E gene and D gene to identify polymorphisms ass...
