statement of the problem recent studies have shown a relation between some abo blood types and increased susceptibility to fungal infections. purpose the aim of this study was to determine the frequency of blood groups in patients with denture stomatitis. materials and methods in this descriptive cross-sectional study, diagnosis of denture stomatitis in 100 patients with complete denture, was m...

Objective: To detect the frequency of ABO and Rh D blood groups among Sudanese donors attending Gezira center for Trauma Orthopedic Blood Bank in Wad Madani. Material Methods: One thousand male were enrolled study, typing performed using classical slide method. Results: The study revealed that percentage phenotypes total samples as follows: O (51%), A (30%), B (14%) AB (5%), Majority (97.4%) su...

more susceptible to pulmonary tuberculosis; but in the same year Campbell and in 1961 Lewis could not find any significant difference in the distribution of Rh blood groups in pulmonary tuberculosis from that of the control group. With this background, the present work was undertaken in the three different ethnic group patients of the tuberculosis hospital of the Anti-Tuberculosis Association o...

Blood groups (ABO, Rh-including sub-types M-N, Duffy), secretor status and ability to taste Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) were investigated in 102 medical students of Delhi University, and the distribution was found similar to that observed in the north Indians. Both faster and secretors had highest percentage in AB, O and in rr, while the lowest values were obtained in B and R1r.

a total of 2519 blood samples were collected from five distinct populations of larestan, in fars province, in iran (lar, gerash, khour, latifi and berake) were examined for abo and rh blood groups. the gene frequencies obtained from these samples were compared with the hitherto reported corresponding data from other populations of fars province to determine the genetic structure of the larestan...

BACKGROUND Neonatal jaundice that occurs in ABO or Rhesus issoimunisation has been recognized as one of the major risk factors for development of severe hyperbilirubinemia and bilirubin neurotoxicity. AIM Aim of our study was to investigate clinical and laboratory parameters associated with hemolytic jaundice due to Rh and ABO incompatibility and compare results with the group of unspecific j...

Over the last decade, we have witnessed an incredible growth in the amount of available genotype data due to high throughput sequencing (HTS) techniques. This information may be used to predict phenotypes of medical relevance, and pave the way towards personalized medicine. Blood phenotypes (e.g. ABO and Rh) are a purely genetic trait that has been extensively studied for decades, with currentl...

Background & Objective: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the most recent emerging viral disease. Defining the epidemiological aspects and factors influencing the susceptibility of the patients to COVID-19 has been an ongoing struggle. In the present study, we have investigated the connection between ABO histo-blood group phenotypes and the COVID-19. Methods:...

SUMMARY: TWO PREPARATIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR PLATELET TRANSFUSION: single-donor apheresis platelet concentrates (APC) and pooled platelet concentrates (PPC) prepared from 4-6 whole blood units. Clear advantages of APC over PPC are a markedly reduced donor exposure of recipients, and easier logistics when attempting a complete supply with ABO-identical and Rh-compatible platelet concentrates.
