The genus is distributed throughout the Old World and the Americas, with three distinct regions of diversity: Central and shake the limbs and topic in folk medicine. South America (approx. 500 species), Central Asia and Mediterranean (250 species), Eastern Asia (90 species)various species of the genus salvia are used as Disinfectants, Epileptics Autodigestion, Reduce blood sugar donor, Carminat...

There is a substantial literature suggesting that computer-assisted interviewing has advantages over face-to-face and written self-administration of interviews in venues eliciting sensitive information similar to that sought in blood donor history screening. We review some of the recent developments in blood donor history screening, the evidence suggesting that automated interviews should be us...

BACKGROUND Some blood donation-related adverse events (AEs) can negatively impact the blood donor return rate (BDRR) and decrease donor retention. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS One-thousand randomly selected whole-blood donors were interviewed 3 weeks after a 525-mL index whole-blood donation for seven AEs. The number of return visits and duration of follow-up were recorded for each of the 1000 do...

This is the first empirical investigation of blood donations in evolutionary perspective. We examine blood donor and non-donor attitudes about health and injury risks, donor characteristics, and the social value of donor participation. We propose that blood donations may communicate qualities about donors to third parties. Observers may benefit from information about the donor’s health, value a...

Shortages in organs for transplantation have resulted a renewed interest designing incentive policies to promote organ supply. The donor‐priority rule, which grants priority based on deceased donor registration status, has proven be effective both theory and practice. This study investigates the implications of rule optimal allocation policy design under general formulation blood‐type barriers....

Background: Pre-donation donor screening is a crucial step in ensuring the safety of both blood donors and recipients. Donors who do not meet predetermined criteria are temporarily or permanently deferred. Aim: To assess patterns prevalence deferrals at our institution. Study design: Prospective study Place duration study: Karachi Tertiary Care Hospital, from 1st January 2014 to 31st December 2...

The safety of any blood transfusion begins with the proper selection of donors. The physician must take care that removal of blood does not harm the donor and that the potential risk to the recipient due to disease conditions in donor must be kept to minimum. All blood donors should be in enough good health to be able to tolerate a short period of hypotension and bradycardia that occurs due to ...

The exclusion of high risk-donors by selection is one of the most crucial steps to improve the overall safety of the blood supply and the donor eligibility. This is currently achieved through the donor questionnaire, medical assessment, complete blood count, and the serological testing for the blood borne pathogens, namely: syphilis, hepatitis B & C, and HIV infection. This study was undertaken...
