In this report we use the kell-m process algebra to develop three models for Distributed Event-Based Systems (DEBSs). The first model is of the DEBS API standard proposed by Pietzuch et al. The second model is for the hierarchical structuring mechanism for components in the REBECA DEBS. The third model is for the internal structure of administrative components in the NaradaBrokering DEBS. These...

Background: Recurrent blood transfusion is a common treatment in patients with thalassemia. The development of antibodies against red blood cell (RBC) antigens complicates RBC cross-matching, enhances the in vivo destruction of transfused cells, accelerates tissue iron overloading, delays the provision of safe transfusion, and reduces health-related quality of life. Materials and Methods: In t...

conclusions there is not any significant association between mode of delivery and occurrence of ecc, despite the positive association between occurrence of ecc and gender. results analysis of the data demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between gender and occurrence of ecc, but no statistically significant relationship between mode of delivery and occurrence of ecc, as well as...

background several factors may cause infertility and fetal loss. blood groups antigens seem to be implied in the mechanisms of infertility and fetal loss. maternal natural antibody can react against father’s blood group antigens on spermatozoa. the effects of parental blood group system on infertility and fetal surveillance perceived by its manifestation in prezygotic (caused infertility) and p...

Kell blood group system (KBGS) plays a vital role in transfusion medicine and bears multidimensional character. antigens are very reactive responses can be observed case of mismatched blood. This research is aimed to check the frequency prevalence different antibodies (KELL1, KELL2, KELL3, KELL4) KEL gene local population four cities Punjab, Pakistan. To this end, two hundred volunteers (from e...

Blood transfusion in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) is limited by the development of alloantibodies to erythrocytes. In the present study, the frequency and risk factors for alloimmunization were determined. Transfusion records and medical charts of 828 SCD patients who had been transfused and followed at the Belo Horizonte Blood Center, Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil, were retrospectively...

The aim of this study was to evaluate mixed red cells population and red blood cell chimerism after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Red blood cell chimerism after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was analyzed using a series of fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated monoclonal antibodies (BioAtlantic, France) directed against ABH, Rh (D, C, E, c, e), Kell, Duffy, Kidd, and Ss anti...

introduction: the history of studies on blood groups dates back to early 20th century. studies have demonstrated that certain blood groups dictate tendencies toward physical or psychiatric illnesses. the present study aimed to find out the frequency of abo and rh blood groups in obsessive-compulsive disorder. methods: in this survey, descriptive study with convenient samples, male/female patien...
