Background: ABO-incompatible human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched platelets are used to manage thrombocytopenic patients with anti-HLA-A and/or anti-HLA-B (HLA-A/B) antibodies when ABO-identical donors are not available. This study assessed the effectiveness of ABO-incompatible HLA-matched platelets in an unselected group of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) undergoing cytotoxic chem...

BACKGROUND A new formulation of a botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNTA-ABO; Dysport [abobotulinumtoxinA]; Medicis Aesthetics, Scottsdale, AZ) was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines. OBJECTIVE This article summarizes the safety data from five phase III clinical trials investigating the use of BoNTA-ABO in the treatment...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to determine blood groups and Rhesus factor from dentin and pulp using absorption-elution (AE) technique in different time periods at 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, respectively. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 150 cases, 30 patients each at 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months were included in the study. The samples consisted of males and females with age ranging 13-60 yea...

The influence of blood group types on development of brain tumors is unclear since there are conflicting reports from surveys regarding the distribution of ABO blood groups and primary intracranial neoplasms. The present descriptive, retrospective study was therefore made of 907 patients with reliable records for ABO blood groups and proven histological diagnosis who were hospitalized with brai...

Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been mostly reported in situations involving major ABO incompatibility between donor and recipient. Conventional treatments such as plasma exchange, erythropoietin, and steroid are often unsatisfactory. Rituximab has been reported to be highly effective for PRCA following major ABO-incompatible ...

There are three common alleles (A, B, and O) at the human ABO blood group locus. We compared nucleotide sequences of these alleles, and relatively large numbers of nucleotide differences were found among them. These differences correspond to the divergence time of at least a few million years, which is unusually large for a human allelic divergence under neutral evolution. We constructed phylog...

ABO genotyping is commonly used in several situations, including blood transfusion, personal identification and disease detection. The present study developed a novel method for ABO genotyping, using loop‑mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). This method allows the simultaneous determination of six ABO genotypes under 40 min at a constant temperature of 62˚C. The genotypes of 101 blood samp...

In this paper, an attempt is made to apply the African Buffalo Optimization (ABO) to tune the parameters of a PID controller for an effective Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR). Existing metaheuristic tuning methods have been proven to be quite successful but there were observable areas that need improvements especially in terms of the system's gain overshoot and steady steady state errors. Usin...

The ABO histo-blood group, first discovered over a century ago, is found not only in humans but also in many other primate species, with the same genetic variants maintained for at least 20 million years. Polymorphisms in ABO have been associated with susceptibility to a large number of human diseases, from gastric cancers to immune or artery diseases, but the adaptive phenotypes to which the p...
