Prevalence of five important blood transfusion-transmitted infectious diseases (HIV, HBV, HCV, Syphilis, and Malaria) were studied among the voluntary blood donors in Dhaka. Out of 1500 donors, positive infections was identified in 99 of cases and rest of the donors were screened negative. Male voluntary blood donor were 82% and only 18% were female. About 53.53% male infectious blood donor had HBV infection whereas, 26.26% female had HBV. The difference was significant (P < 0.05). In age group of 18-24 years, 36% of the donor had HBV infection and HCV was found positive in 04.04% of student. Among the students, HBV was positive in 44%. Only 01.01% of teacher was HIV positive. Malaria infection was positive only among the business man (01.01%). The positive cases (01.01%) with TPHA found among the students, teacher and worker and the difference was significant (P<0.05). 40.40% of the volunteer blood donors were illiterate and 24.24% donor had Master degree and 8% HSC passed.Bangladesh J.

Blood transfusion service is a health care effort that utilizes human blood as a basic ingredient with humanitarian purposes and not for commercial purposes. Blood transfusion services as one of the health efforts in order to cure disease and health recovery desperately require the availability of blood or adequate blood components, safe, accessible and affordable by the community. Each blood transfusion unit has a responsibility to meet the availability of blood in its working area. Blood availability is highly dependent on the willingness and awareness of people to donate their blood voluntarily and regularly. To achieve this, blood transfusion units need to conduct donor recruitment activities which include socialization efforts and campaign of voluntary blood donor, donor deployment and donor preservation. The need for blood is increasing in this world where 1 patient from 7 patients who are hospitalized requires a blood transfusion. Imbalance between blood supply and blood needs is increasing in the world. Currently only in 62 countries, blood supplies of 100% are derived from voluntary blood donors and 40 other countries still depend on family darai donors and paid blood donors. From the results of location analysis and info from blood transfusion Unit RS, Dr. Setomo, Surabaya PMI about the problems of lack of blood stocks at a certain moment, then make us perform a lack of public awareness about the blood Donor This, thereby giving our infiration to give intervention, counseling, convey that being a blood Donor can increase the stamina and occurrence of new erythrocytes, which can facilitate blood circulation and make the body healthier. Plan, create a community Web Site that is interested in becoming a voluntary blood Donor, so that the community is moved to become a voluntary blood Donor, of course not be separated must fulfill the requirements that the blood donation is worthy as Blood and healthy Donor, appropriate Perturan.  Install Bener on a specific place, make a bag, T-shirt, key toy, a zipper box, and other knacks that can be used as the community Logo voluntary blood donor, in hopes of increasing the necessary blood stocks society.  From the new results we perform to attract voluntary blood donors. Through the appeal to come to the counseling and to share Leaflet only at this early stage, there have been obtained result of increased blood stock from the results of voluntary blood donation after Community service.  Obtained significant results, where there is an increase in the amount of blood in PMI, after the implementation of blood donation. There is an increase in blood stocks at that time as much as 40-50%, from the results of community devotion.

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of bovine mastitis, with an action comparable to that of antibiotics. Autologous treatment is feasible in experimental conditions but is difficult to apply in field conditions, particularly in acute mastitis. The ideal scenario would be to have heterologous PRP stored on every farm so that it is readily available when needed. In this paper, we analysed data collected during bovine mastitis treatment with heterologous PRP produced by casual donor cows on several farms. We tried to identify parameters which might be useful to identify the most suitable cows to be used as blood donors, to obtain the highest yield of PRP. Variables considered for each animal were the age, the parity, the date of the last parturition, the season of blood collection, the site of blood collection (jugular or mammary vein) and the reproductive status e.g., pregnant or not pregnant. There were statistically significant differences for all the variables considered from the 135 blood cows, except for the blood collection season. The highest yield of PRP was associated with nonpregnancy blood collection within three months of parturition, parity 3 or 4, and blood collection from the mammary vein.

OBJECTIVE: In preterm newborn infants transfused with erythrocytes stored up to 28 days, to compare the reduction of blood donor exposure in two groups of infants classified according to birth weight. METHODS: A prospective study was conducted with preterm infants with birth weight <1000g (Group 1) and 1000-1499g (Group 2), born between April, 2008 and December, 2009. Neonates submitted to exchange transfusions, emergency erythrocyte transfusion, or those who died in the first 24 hours of life were excluded. Transfusions were indicated according to the local guideline using pediatric transfusion satellite bags. Demographic and clinical data, besides number of transfusions and donors were assessed. . Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine factors associated with multiple transfusions. RESULTS: 30 and 48 neonates were included in Groups 1 and 2, respectively. The percentage of newborns with more than one erythrocyte transfusion (90 versus 11%), the median number of transfusions (3 versus 1) and the median of blood donors (2 versus 1) were higher in Group 1 (p<0.001), compared to Group 2. Among those with multiple transfusions, 14 (82%) and one (50%) presented 50% reduction in the number of blood donors, respectively in Groups 1 and 2. Factors associated with multiple transfusions were: birth weight <1000g (OR 11.91; 95%CI 2.14-66.27) and presence of arterial umbilical catheter (OR 8.59; 95%CI 1.94-38.13), adjusted for confounders. CONCLUSIONS: The efficacy of pediatrics satellites bags on blood donor reduction was higher in preterm infants with birth weight <1000g.

Abstract Background and Objectives: Chronic hepatitis B and C infections are capable of progressing to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Globally, it has been estimated that over 2 billion and 170 million people are living with hepatitis B and C infections, respectively. Ghana remains one of the highly endemic countries challenged by continues spread of these viral agents in Africa. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence and trend of Hepatitis B and C coinfections among blood donors in Saboba District of the Northern Region of Ghana. Methods: A five-year hospital based retrospective study was carried out among 8,605 blood donors comprising 8517 males and 88 females using data on blood donors from Saboba Assemblies of God Hospital located in the Saboba District in the Northern Region of Ghana from 2013 to 2017. Blood bank records on HBV and HCV potential blood donors who visited the hospital to donate blood was retrieved. Donor demographic details, i.e. age and gender were also recovered. Donors who were registered to the hospital but were not residents of the Northern Region were excluded from the study. Donors with incomplete records were also excluded from the study. The data was managed using Microsoft Excel spreadsheet 2016 and analysed using GraphPad Prism statistical software. Results: The overall prevalence of asymptomatic viral hepatitis B and C infection in the general adult population was 9.59% and 12.71%, respectively, with an HBV/HCV coinfection rate of 2.23%. The number of donors generally declined with advancement in years from 2038 (23.68%) since 2013 to as low as 1169 (13.59%) in 2016, except for 2017 where a sharp increase of 1926 (22.38%) was observed. The first and second highest proportions of donors fell within the age categories of 20-29 [51.53% (4434)] and 30-39 [32.90% (2831)]. Seroprevalence rate of HBV, HCV and HBV/HCV coinfection rates were generally higher among the female group than observed among the male category. The year-to-year variation in HBV, HCV and HBV/HCV infection was statistically significant. The highest year-to-year HBV seropositivity rate was 11.48% in the year 2013, while that for HCV and HBV/HCV coinfection was 16.24% and 5.85% respectively both documented in the year 2014. HBV and HBV/HCV coinfection rate was highest among donors aged <20 years old, while HCV seroprevalence was highest among donors aged 50-59 years old. Conclusion: Seroprevalence of HBV and HCV among donors in the Saboba District of the Northern Region of Ghana is endemic. The HBV/HCV coinfections rate also raises serious concern owing to its high prevalence rate among the younger age. Intensive public health education coupled with mobile screening and mass vaccination of seronegative individuals is advised so as to help curb further spread of the infection and in effect help safeguard the health status of potential donors in the district.
