Awareness on blood donation among the nursing staff

Introduction Nurses, who primarily deal with transfusion of blood components must have a thorough training on the protocols to be followed in transfusion, which is an elaborate process and thus is amenable to errors leading to serious transfusion related injury. In centers lacking adequate manpower, donor recruitment and screening also becomes a part of the nurses’ duty. Methods 132 nurses in KMC hospital, Mangalore, India a tertiary care hospital were assessed primarily for knowledge and awareness regarding blood donation. Questionnaire regarding blood donation criteria, transfusion reaction and steps taken to manage such emergency were distributed and the data collected was analyzed descriptively as well as inferentially. Result 120 responders faltered in the awareness of at least one of the parameters. A majority, that is 56.82% were unaware of the age group permitted to donate blood. 29.54% of nursing staff were not aware of blood donation interval of 3 months. 38.63% of nurses were not informed about the minimum weight required for blood donation. 43.93% of the nurses had incomplete knowledge of the donor deferral criteria in the blood bank with respect to certain diseases. Discussion An interventional strategy in the form of repeated short courses with respect to blood banking has to be contemplated because a significant number of nurses faltered in the basic aspects of blood donation (p < 0.0001, in three parameters, p = 0.0007 in one).
An Experimental Study on the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Calcium Handling in Myocardium Intoxicated by Doxorubicin

Doxorubicin is a highly effective cancer chemotherapeutic agent, but its clinical usefulness is limited due to the development of a dose-dependent cardiomyopathy [1]. Cancer chemotherapy with Doxorubicin (DOX) can cause severe cardiomyopathy thus leading to fatal congestive heart failure [2]. The total dose is usually limited to 450-500 mg/m2 body surface area, since the incidence of the cardiomyopathy is "low" below this dose. However, more than half of the patients could tolerate higher total dose without development of cardiomyopathy, whereas a small percent of patients will develop the cardiomyopathy at even these low doses [3,4]. Endo-myocardial biopsy has been used to monitor the doxorubicin cardiomyopathy. Billingham [5] described the morphological changes seen on biopsy specimens from patients receiving doxorubicin. The earliest changes are distended sarcoplasmic reticulum and early myofibrillar loss. Later changes suggest diffuse cell damage with degeneration of multiple cellular organelles. These early morphologic abnormalities of the sarcoplasmic reticulum have been described in animal models as Well [6]. The DOX-induced cardiomyopathy is characterized by abnormal cytosolic concentration of Ca2+ [7-9]. In cardiomyocytes, Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR) determines cytosolic levels of Ca2+ via the ATPdependent Ca2+-pump mechanism [10]. The sarcoplasmic reticulum regulates the intracellular calcium stores on which adult mammalian cardiac muscle is dependent for contraction [11]. A number of studies have focused on the in vitro effects of anthracyclines on function of the pump and channel of this subcellular membrane system. Doxorubicin induces calcium release from isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles and in skinned cardiac fibers [12]. Doxorubicin binds to the calcium release channel in fractions enriched in terminal cisternae. Doxorubicin also increases opening probability of calcium release channels in reconstituted lipid bilayers [9]. Doxorubicinol, a metabolite of doxorubicin, is a potent inhibitor of multiple intracellular pumps, including the calcium pump protein of the cardiac SR in isolated SR *Corresponding author: Ya-chen Zhang, M.D, Division of Cardiology, Xinhua Hospital School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiaotong University, 1665 Kong Jiang Road, Shanghai, 200092 China, Tel: +86-21-25078999; Fax: +86-21-6515398; E-mail: zhangyachen65@yahoo.com. cn
THE ERYTHROCYTE IN SICKLE CELL ANEMIA: MORPHOLOGY, SIZE, HEMOGLOBIN CONTENT, FRAGILITY AND SEDIMENTATION RATE

In the rapidly expanding literature relating to sickle cell anemia, which now includes more than 140 articles, there are numerous descriptions of erythrocytes, the most important of which are in the articles by Emmel, 1 Sydenstricker, Mulherin and Houseal, 2 Huck, 3 Hahn and Gillespie, 4 Hein, McCalla and Thorne, 5 Graham and McCarty, 6 Sharp and Schleicher 7 and Vaubel. 8 In this paper we shall attempt to combine the observations of others with observations which we have made while studying forty-seven patients with active sickle cell anemia at the John Gaston Hospital in Memphis. MORPHOLOGY When whole blood from a patient with sickle cell anemia is sealed under a cover slip and examined immediately, it is noted that most of the cells are round or oval and that there is a variable number of irregularly shaped cells and elongated and narrow cells with round or pointed ends.

Brainstem auditory evoked potentials features in thalassemia major

Patients with thalassemia major are at high risk for hearing impairment. The objective of the study is to determine the prevalence, grade and type of hearing impairment according to brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) investigation in thalassemia major. A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted between December 1999 until August 2000 in 72 thalassemic patients between 3 and 18 years of age. Only 65 patients were evaluated, because of time limitation. The results showed the prevalence of hearing impairment in thalassemia major was 29.2%. Most of them were moderate to severe unilateral sensorineural hearing impairments. Mild sensorienural hearing impairment occured in only 12.3%. Conductive hearing impairment was only found in 1 patient. Hearing impairment was frequently found between 7 to 12 years of age (41.5%). Conclusion: the prevalence of hearing impairment in thalassemia major according to BAEP investigation is high and BAEP examination should be done regularly in all of thalassemic patients to investigate early detection and treatment of hearing impairment.

Near-Infrared Reflectivity of Superconducting FeSe Thin Films

We present an investigation on the intrinsic optical properties of superconducting FeSe thin films deposited on CaF2 substrates. It is found that the samples respond strongly to the near-infrared (NIR) irradiation in different temperature regimes. Thus, we are able to measure the optical reflectivity of the in-plane (ab-plane) thin films from room temperature to 5 K. A critical behavior near the superconducting transition temperature (Tc∼10 K) can be observed optically in the temperature-dependent reflectivity spectrum. We carry out the Kramers–Kronig analysis of the experimental data and discuss the basic optical properties of superconducting FeSe thin films in different structural phases above and below the transition temperature Ts∼100 K. By fitting experimental data with the Drude–Smith and Drude–Lorentz formulas, we obtain the key sample parameters such as the electronic relaxation time and dc conductivity. The interesting and important findings obtained from this study not only shed new light on the pairing mechanism in FeSe but also demonstrate that the NIR reflection experiment is a powerful and convenient optical technique for contactless characterization and investigation of superconducting thin film materials.
Thinking, crafting, and commenting: an approach to improving paragraph structure writing

This small-scale action research study examined the impact of implementing the writing process approach along with peer-feedback to enhance paragraph structure writing. The study was conducted with beginner A2 English level young adult students at a private university in Bogotá, Colombia. Participants demonstrated difficulties coming up with ideas and organizing them in clear paragraphs. In Colombia, few studies investigate the impact of the process writing approach and peer-feedback on students’ paragraph enhancement at the university level, but most of them concentrate on English improvement as a consequence of error correction or teacher feedback. Data were collected from questionnaires (pre and post implementation), a teacher’s journal, and participants’ artifacts (diagnostic and final test, peer-feedback checklists, and written texts) and they were analyzed through the grounded theory method. The results revealed that the process writing approach and peer-feedback had a positive impact on the participants’ second language (L2) paragraph structure writing; they helped students raise awareness on paragraph writing, develop writing habits, facilitate their production and organization of ideas, and construct better-structured paragraphs. This study contributes to L2 writing research in two ways. First, it provides a feasible possibility to improve learners’ paragraph writing skills through the process writing approach. Second, it highlights the importance of training and assisting students in writing through the implementation of writing strategies, feedback tools, and authentic tasks that foster meaningful communication among learners.

Perceptual interpretation of complex line patterns.

Leeuwenberg's coding system for the representation of line pattern interpretations is tentatively applied to the interpretation of complex line patterns, that is, line patterns with intersecting lines. Perceptually preferred interpretations of complex line patterns can only be predicted correctly if two requirements are met: (a) The codes of line patterns should contain information about the objects represented by the line patterns, not about the line patterns as drawings; and (b) effects of the gestalt law of good continuation have to be taken into account.

Association of base deficit with mortality in pediatric trauma

Objective: To evaluate the association of base deficit (BD) with mortality in traumatized children, and to assess this association in a subgroup of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods: In this cross-sectional study performed prospectively on a convenience sample of patients under 16 years of age with trauma presenting to an academic level ІІ trauma center, we obtained venous BD values initially and followed the patients for in-hospital mortality. Initial vital signs were measured and injury severity score (ISS), randomized trauma score (RTS), and pediatric trauma score (PTS) were calculated. Results: A total of 102 patients were included, with 48 patients diagnosed with TBI. Nine patients (8.8%) died during admission, of which 6 were diagnosed with TBI. Based on the univariate analysis, BD was associated with mortality in the whole group (P = 0.01), but not in the TBI subgroup (P = 0.08). In multivariable analysis, RTS was the only variable independently associated with mortality (P = 0.001, odds ratio [OR] = 0.197). Linear regression model showed that BD was predictive of ISS, RTS, and PTS. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve showed a cutoff point of -7 mmol/L for BD, below which there is a 12 fold increased risk for mortality. Conclusion: BD is a useful parameter in mortality prediction in pediatric trauma like in adult age group, but this predictive role in TBI patients is not supported by our results.
