Purpose:

Comparative studies on the outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) procedures conducted using the da Vinci Xi and Si platforms remain sparse. We retrospectively reviewed and compared the Trifecta and Pentafecta rates of the two robotic surgical platforms.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 338 patients who had undergone RAPN using da Vinci Si platform or Xi platform were included. Pentafecta was defined herein as Trifecta (a warm ischemia time <25 min, a negative surgical margin, and the absence of significant perioperative complications) with the addition of estimated glomerular filtration rate preservation of over 90% and no chronic kidney disease stage progression by 12 months postsurgery. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the predictors of Trifecta and Pentafecta achievement.

Results:

The trifecta and pentafecta rates were higher in the Xi group than in the Si group (65% vs. 29%, P < 0.001 for trifecta; 31% vs. 14%, P = 0.001 for pentafecta). In addition, a significantly shorter average WIT (19 vs. 28 min, P < 0.001) and console time (141 vs. 163 min, P = 0.004) were identified in the Xi group than in the Si group. RAPN conducted using the Xi platform was independently associated with both higher achievement rates of trifecta and pentafecta. In addition, multivariate regression analyses revealed that no history of hypertension, low tumor complexity as measured using the RENAL nephrometry score, anterior orientation of the renal tumor were associated with higher Trifecta rates; while history of diabetes and anterior–posterior renal tumor orientation were the significant predictors of Pentafecta achievement, respectively.

Conclusion:

A significantly higher rates of trifecta and pentafecta achievement were observed in the Xi group than in the Si group. The use of the Xi platform was also significantly associated with low operative times and acceptable complication rates.

Na co choruje świat? O najnowszych powieściach Radki Denemarkovej i Olgi Tokarczuk
Authors: Brodacka-Dwojak Magdalena
Published: June 2023

Celem artykułu jest analiza porównawcza twórczości dwóch ważnych pisarek środkowoeuropejskich: Radki Denemarkovej oraz Olgi Tokarczuk, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem ich najnowszych powieści: Godzin z ołowiu (2018) i Empuzjonu. Horroru przyrodoleczniczego (2022). We wstępie zestawione zostają ich programy literackie, cele, które stawiają swoim powieściom, oraz pozaliterackie sposoby komunikowania się z czytelnikami. Następnie analizie poddane zostały formalne właściwości ich powieści, które wymykają się jednoznaczności gatunkowej. Konstrukcja fabuły dzieł koresponduje z tematyką, która ma charakter diagnozy otwierającej na dyskusję o kondycji współczesnych społeczeństw: czeskiego, polskiego, europejskiego, a nawet chińskiego. W Godzinach z ołowiu Denemarková zestawia ze sobą współczesny Pekin oraz Pragę, pytając o wartości i prawa człowieka w społeczeństwach (post)totalitarnych. Z kolei Tokarczuk, posługując się metaforą gruźlicy, pyta o inne dolegliwości człowieka związane z tożsamością i współobcowaniem ze światem natury. What Is the World Taken Ill with? On the Newest Novels of Radka Denemarková and Olga Tokarczuk The aim of this article is a comparative analysis of the works of two important Central European female writers: Radka Denemarková and Olga Tokarczuk; with a particular focus on their most recent novels: Hodiny z olova (2018) and Empuzjon. Horror przyrodoleczniczy (2022). The introduction juxtaposes literary agendas and goals that the both authors set for their novels as well as extra-literary ways of communicating with the readers. Introduction is followed by an analysis of the formal characteristics of their novels, which escape genre explicitness. The plot construction of the works corresponds with the subject matter, and has the character of a diagnosis that opens up a discussion on the condition of contemporary societies: Czech, Polish, European and even Chinese. In Hodiny z olova, Denemarková juxtaposes contemporary Beijing and Prague, asks about values and human rights in (post)totalitarian societies. Tokarczuk, on the other hand, uses the metaphor of tuberculosis to ask about other human ailments related to identity and co-existence with the natural world.

Ensuring the security of statutorily protected people is the scope of the tasks of the State Protection Service, which are carried out using forms of action and forms and methods of protection. Their selection is based on the results of conducted security threat analyses. The implementation of the safeguards carried out against the authorities residing in the museums requires the cooperation of the State Protection Service with internal security services in order to optimally ensure their safety.
Nowy energooszczędny magazyn Archiwum Narodowego w Krakowie
Authors: Kozłowski Roman
Published: June 2023

Oszczędzanie energii leży w żywotnym interesie ekonomicznym instytucji przechowujących zasoby dziedzictwa kultury. Ważną rolę odgrywają również wymogi zrównoważonego rozwoju kładące nacisk na ograniczanie emisji dwutlenku węgla. W 2020 roku oddano do użytku segment magazynowy w nowej siedzibie Archiwum Narodowego w Krakowie, łączący energooszczędność z wysoką jakością ochrony zbiorów. Obiekt ma osiem kondygnacji i pomieści docelowo 70 000 metrów bieżących akt. Jest wyodrębnioną strukturą, w której nie ma stałych stanowisk pracy, a w znacznym stopniu pasywną stabilizację optymalnego dla zbiorów mikroklimatu zapewniono przez przemyślane rozwiązania budowlane: dobrą izolację termiczną i wysoką szczelność przegród zewnętrznych oraz wykonanie powierzchni architektonicznych z porowatych materiałów budowlanych o dobrej zdolność do wymiany pary wodnej. Przeprowadzone pomiary pokazały, że temperatura we wnętrzu magazynu podążała za rocznym cyklem zmian temperatury na zewnątrz, osiągając w lutym 2021 roku wartość najniższą, między 11 a 14 oC w zależności od kondygnacji. Przez większość część roku – od października do czerwca – wilgotność względna utrzymywała się samoistnie na optymalnym poziomie około 50% z niewielkimi fluktuacjami krótkookresowymi. W porze letniej powietrze jest osuszane przez efektywne energetycznie urządzenia osuszające. Suche warunki i niska temperatura przez większą część roku ograniczają szybkość degradacji chemicznej obiektów archiwalnych.

New energy-efficient storage facility of the National Archives in Krakow

Energy saving is in the vital economic interest of institutions preserving cultural heritage resources. Sustainability requirements emphasizing the reduction of carbon emissions also play an important role. In 2020, the storage segment at the new seat of the National Archives in Krakow was put into operation, combining energy efficiency with high-quality collection care. The facility has eight floors and will ultimately accommodate 70,000 linear meters of records. It is a separate structure with no permanent workspace, and the largely passive stabilization of the optimal microclimate for the collections has been ensured by well-thought-out construction solutions: good thermal insulation and high tightness of the building shell, and use of porous building materials with good water vapour exchange capacity on architectural surfaces. The conducted measurements showed that the temperature inside the storage followed the annual cycle of temperature changes outside reaching its lowest value in February 2021, between 11 and 14oC, depending on the floor. For most parts of the year – from October to June – relative humidity remained spontaneously at an optimal level of around 50% with minor short-term fluctuations. During the summer season, the air is dehumidified by energy-efficient dehumidification equipment. Dry conditions and low temperatures for most of the year reduce the rate of chemical degradation of archival objects.
Muzea w internecie w odpowiedzi na „kulturowy szok” pandemii COVID-19
Authors: Bieczyński Mateusz Maria
Published: June 2023

Wpływ pandemii COVID-19 na sektor kultury na całym świecie był bardzo silny. Od samego początku stało się jasne, że zmiany wynikające z wprowadzonych ograniczeń nie pozostaną obojętne dla działalności muzeów i galerii. Według przewidywań UNESCO z maja 2020 roku 10% muzeów dotkniętych skutkami pandemii miało nie zostać ponownie otwartych. To dotyczyło ogromnej liczby 8 550 muzeów, które mogły nigdy się nie otworzyć. Zderzenie instytucji kultury z nową rzeczywistością określono jako „dramatyczne” i nazwano „szokiem kulturowym”. Muzea musiały szybko zareagować na niespodziewane wydarzenia. COVID-19 uwypuklił wiele słabości organizacyjnych i infrastrukturalnych całego sektora. Jedną z nich była nieobecność lub jedynie niewielka obecność muzeów w sieci internetowej. Tymczasem to właśnie internet, w obliczu „przymusowego zamknięcia” budynków użyteczności publicznej, stał się jedynym możliwym kanałem pozwalającym na zachowanie ciągłości działalności w zakresie upubliczniania zbiorów. W wyniku przekształcenia wielu zaplanowanych wcześniej wydarzeń kulturalnych w ich wersje wirtualne cyfrowa tranzycja muzeów wydaje się głównym skutkiem oddziaływania pandemii na instytucje muzealne na polu ich kulturotwórczej działalności.

Museums on the Internet in response to the „culture shock” of the COVID-19 pandemic

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the cultural sector worldwide has been severe. From the beginning, it became clear that the changes resulting from the restrictions would not be without an impact on the operations of museums and galleries. According to UNESCO’s May 2020 projections, 10% of the museums affected by the pandemic were not expected to reopen. This included a huge number of 8,550 museums that might never open. The collision of cultural institutions with the new reality was described as “dramatic” and called a “culture shock.” Museums had to react quickly to the unexpected. Covid-19 highlighted many organizational and infrastructural weaknesses throughout the sector. One of them was the absence or only a small presence of museums on the Internet. Meanwhile, it was the Internet that, in the face of the “forced closure” of public buildings, became the only possible channel to maintain the continuity of the business of making collections public. As a result of the transformation of many previously planned cultural events into their virtual versions, the digital transit of museums seems to be the main effect of the pandemic’s impact on museum institutions in the field of their cultural activities.

The subject of this paper is the safety and the role of medics of the health care system in Poland on the example of COVID-19 pandemic. In the context of the discussed safety, special attention was paid to the personal aspect, referring in this case to a specific professional group due to the impediments, which were: equipment shortages, unclear procedures, concealment of information, or social ostracism. The purpose of this article is to highlight the need to ensure the personal safety of medics, who during the pandemic were particularly vulnerable not only to potential infection, but also to the psychological and physical burden of the workload, or unfavorable public perception. The issues raised in this article are only an introduction to the broader issue of the safety of medical personnel during medical procedures. The observations made and experience gained have allowed this article to present the most important aspects of the work of medical personnel in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, with emphasis on the first weeks of the SARSCoV- 2 virus in Poland.
High Performance Liquid Chromatography with Size Exclusion Column (HPLC-SEC) Method for Identifying the Major Whey Proteins of Whey Protein Products
Authors: DİAMANTE Lemuel
Published: June 2023

This study was carried-out: a) to develop a high-performance liquid chromatography with size exclusion column (HPLC-SEC) method for the identification of the major whey proteins from selected whey protein products; and b) use the method to estimate the relative composition of the major whey proteins in different whey protein products.

An HPLC Shimadzu (LC-10AD VP liquid chromatograph) with system controller (SCL-10A VP) equipped with a pump and auto-injector (SIL-10AD VP) and UV-vis detector (SPD-10AV) was used in the identification of whey proteins in standards and whey protein products. The size exclusion column (SEC) was a Yarra 3 µm, SEC-3000 Column, 7.8 mm I.D. x 30 cm with a security guard.

The HPLC-SEC method was successful in identifying the major whey proteins of the different whey protein products.

The β-LG contents had the highest level among the whey proteins for all the whey protein products studied, followed by the α-LA and then IgG in both WPC products. However, the α-LA and IgG of the Procream product had almost the same level which was probably due to a different process used in WPC

All the major whey proteins with the highest pump flowrate had the shortest elution times while the whey proteins with the lowest pump flowrate had the longest elution times. The optimal pump flowrate was 0.75 mL/min since it gave a faster analysis but differentiate the peaks of the different major whey proteins.
DEFORMATION OF ODD NUCLEI 23Na, 25Mg, AND 25Al IN SINGLE-PARTICLE STATES
Authors: Korda V.Yu. , Korda L.P. , Klepikov V.F. , Timchenko I.S.
Published: June 2023

Using the evolutionary approach recently developed by us, the shapes of odd 2s1d-shell 23Na, 25Mg and 25Al nuclei in the ground and single-particle excited states have been extracted from the experimental data on the energies, spins, and parities of these states, as well as the measured probabilities of electromagnetic transitions between them.
We have found that the single-particle spectra of the nuclei studied contain the single states and the continuous sets of states with abnormally weak deformation. This indicates the existence of the shape phase transitions from the spherical state of the nucleus into a deformed state.

Authors: Oleynikov E.V. , Parlag O.O. , Pylypchynets I.V. , Maslyuk V.T. , Lengyel O.I.
Published: June 2023

The values of 29 relative yields of products belonging to 26 mass chains of photofission of 238U were obtained at a maximum bremsstrahlung energy of 17.5 MeV (near the second chance fission threshold). The stimulation of the 238U photofission reaction was performed at the electron accelerator of the Institute of Electron Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the M-30 microtron. The GEANT4 toolkit was used to model the components of the bremsstrahlung spectrum. The presence of a fine structure in the mass distribution of heavy product yields was found to be localized in the mass range 133-134, 138-139, and 143-144. A multi gaussian model (superposition of three Gaussians) was used to theoretically describe the structure. The calculated values of product yields using the GEF code describe in general terms and predict the fine structure of the mass distribution of photofission products of 238U.

IDENTICAL DECELERATING WAKEFIELDS FOR DRIVER-BUNCHES AND IDENTICAL ACCELERATING WAKEFIELDS FOR WITNESS-BUNCHES FOR THEIR PERIODIC SEQUENCE
Authors: Demydenko I.V. , Maslov V.I.
Published: June 2023

Acceleration by the wakefield in the plasma can provide compact sources of relativistic electron beams of high brightness. Free electron lasers and particle colliders, using plasma wakefield accelerators, require high efficiency and beams with low energy spread. Achieving both conditions can be ensured by the formation of identical fields for all accelerating bunches and identical fields for all decelerating bunches by controlled selection of bunch currents and their spatial distribution for a given plasma wave. We demonstrate such optimal bunch currents and their spatial distribution in the linear regime in a plasma accelerator with wakefield excited by electron bunches injected from the RF accelerator with high quality.

VERGİ GELİRLERİ VE VERGİ YAPISININ EKONOMİK BÜYÜMENİN SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİRLİĞİNE ETKİSİ: REFAH, VERİMLİLİK VE REKABET GÜCÜ PERSPEKTİFİNDE BİR İNCELEME
Authors: KARAGÖZ Hüseyin
Published: June 2023

Amaç: Devletin en temel gelir kaynağını oluşturan vergilerin ekonomide önemli etkiler yarattığı bilinmektedir. Bu nedenle, vergi sisteminin tasarımında devletlerin öncelikleri, ekonominin işleyişi ve gelişiminde minimum maliyetle maksimum gelirinin elde edilmesi şeklinde özetlenebilmektedir. Optimal vergi sistemi olarak tanımlanabilen bu gereklilik ise ülkelerdeki ekonomik koşullara göre farklılaşabilmektedir. Ayrıca, yine ekonomik ve politik koşullara göre devletlerin tercih ve öncelikleri de değişebilmekte, vergilerin düzey ve yapısından kaynaklanan maliyetler göz ardı edilebilmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada, vergi düzeyi ve vergi yapının büyümenin sürdürülebilirliğinde önemli rol oynayan verimlilik, rekabet gücü ve refah düzeyi üzerindeki etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlanmaktadır. Yöntem: Çalışmada, ortalama vergi oranı olarak ifade edilen toplam vergi gelirlerinin GSYH’ye oranı ile kişisel gelir, kurumlar ve mal ve hizmet vergilerinin toplam vergiler içerisindeki payları bağımsız değişkenler, satın alma gücü paritesine (SAGP) göre kişi başına gelir, toplam faktör verimliliği ve Küresel Rekabetçilik endeksi ise bağımlı değişkenler olarak belirlenmiştir. OECD üyesi 35 ülkenin 2008-2017 dönemini kapsayan çalışmada, panel veri analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Elde edilen bulgulara göre, mal ve hizmet vergilerinin toplam vergi gelirleri içerisindeki payı SAGP’ye göre kişi başına gelir düzeyini ve toplam faktör verimliliğini negatif yönde etkilemektedir. Ayrıca, kurumlar vergisinin toplam vergi gelirleri içerisindeki payı toplam faktör verimliliğini pozitif yönde etkilerken, toplam vergi gelirlerini GSYH’ye oranı Küresel Rekabetçilik Endeksini pozitif yönde etkilemektedir. Özgünlük: Vergilerin ekonomik etkilerini inceleyen çalışmalarda genel olarak büyüme oranları dikkate alınmakta ve büyümenin kaynakları genel olarak göz ardı edilmektedir. Büyümenin kaynakları sürdürülebilirlik açısından önemli bilgiler sağladığından, bu çalışmada niteliksel gelişim ve refah göstergeleri dikkate alınmakta ve vergi gelirleri ve vergi yapısının bu göstergeler üzerindeki etkileri araştırılmaktadır.

The corporate governance has been operationalized through eight indicators including the Board Size, Ownership Structure, CEO Duality, Independence of Audit Committee, Firm Size, Firm Age, Firm Leverage, and Firm Growth, while the Firm performance has been factored into Return on Assets, and Return on Equity. Pakistan stock exchange has been used as the unit of analysis, taking 100 public listed firms from the non-financial sector, as the sample. Data around the study variables have been collected and analyzed for a period of 10 years, i.e., 2013-2022, using suitable statistical tools. The findings reveal that lean board size, moderate leverage, CEOs serving on various boards, high independence on audit committees, large firm size, young firms, and sustainable growth positively impact the firm performance. High leverage has been found to have an adverse impact on firms’ profitability, especially in the wake of high interbank offered rates. These findings are important the practitioners, corporate regulators, and researchers. Future studies are recommended to take more indicators from the corporate governance index into account for understanding their impact on firm performance.

Snails in the mangrove ecosystem have an important role in the ecology of nutrient dynamics, especially in the West Munjang Kurau mangrove forest, Central Bangka. On the other hand, 60-70% of the forest has experienced significant damage and potential decline. Therefore, limited research has been carried out to provide information about the species composition of mangrove snails in four mangrove ecosystem zones with different conditions. Gastropod samples were taken based on purposive sampling method. The environmental data observed were air temperature (°C), air pH, DO (mg/l), salinity (%), canopy cover (%), maximum INP, tree density (trees/Ha), and substrate type. The study found 17 types of gastropods with the highest number of individuals being Sphaerassiminea miniata and the lowest being Littoraria pallescens, Lisachatina fulica, and Vittoida variegata. The results of the CCA analysis showed three groups of snails in association with environmental variables, namely groups that were not strongly associated with any variables. The second group is slightly associated with tree density and the group is related to INP max and substrate.

Salah satu risiko yang dapat mempengaruhi produktivitas nakes selama pandemi adalah kesehatan mental, termasuk risiko burnout syndrome, ini disebabkan Nakes berada di bawah tekanan tinggi, tetapi tidak ada aturan atau kebijakan untuk melindungi mereka dari perspektif kesehatan mental. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengidentifikasi burnout dan human error serta rekomendasi dengan mempertimbangkan aspek ergonomi. Metode identifikasi yang digunakan adalah Human error  Assessment and Reduction Technique (HEART), Sampel dalam penelitian ini melibatkan 10 petugas UGD di salah satu Rumah Sakit X Makassar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan HEP tertinggi terdapat pada aktivitas pemberian tindakan pertolongan pertama yaitu sebesar 0,068. Aktivitas ini merupakan tipe pekerjaan yang membutuhkan skill kerja yang lebih rumit dan kompleks sehingga menyebabkan human unreliability bernilai lebih besar dan berpotensi lebih tinggi untuk terjadi human error . Rekomendasi yang diberikan untuk membantu perawat dalam menghadapi beban kerja yang berat dan beragam sehingga keandalan perawat dalam bekerja dapat meningkat dan burnout dapat dikurangi antara lain dengan menekan faktor lingkungan sekecil mungkin untuk mengurangi beban kerja perawat, menghimbau perawat untuk mulai memonitor situasi dan mengambil langkah antisipasi agar burnout yang dialami tidak bertambah parah serta dengan mengadakan sharing rutin antar perawat, upgrading ilmu pengetahuan dan pengecekan alat kesehatan sebelum digunakan untuk menghindari human error.

 

One of the risks that can affect the productivity of health workers during the pandemic is mental health, including the risk of burnout syndrome, this is because health workers are under high pressure, but there are no rules or policies to protect them from a mental health perspective. The purpose of this study is to identify burnout and human error as well as recommendations by considering ergonomic aspects. The identification method used is the Human error   Assessment And Reduction Technique (HEART). The sample in this study involved 10 emergency room staff at one of the Makassar Hospitals. The results showed that the highest HEP was found in the activity of providing first aid measures, which was 0.068. This activity is a type of work that requires work skills that are more complicated and complex, causing human unreliability to be of greater value and having a higher potential for human error to occur. Recommendations are given to assist nurses in dealing with heavy and varied workloads so that the reliability of nurses at work can be increased and burnout can be reduced, among others, by suppressing environmental factors as small as possible to reduce the workload of nurses, urging nurses to start monitoring the situation and taking anticipatory steps so that the burnout experienced did not get worse and by holding regular sharing between nurses, upgrading knowledge and checking medical devices before use to avoid human error.

Women-Headed Households: Diversity and Dynamics in Post-Conflict Settings in South Asia
Authors: Jentrick Arun
Published: June 2023

Women-headed households have been reported to be emerging more than ever before in both developing and developed countries due to many reasons, from different factors affecting households in a country to regional and global determinants. This paper unpacks the diversity and dynamics of women-headed households in post-conflict contexts in South Asian countries, with a focus on Sri Lanka and Nepal using a feminist approach. Women-headed households have been reported to face higher levels of poverty than male-headed households in South Asia. There are compelling reasons to anticipate that a group of people who already experience social inequality because of their gender might also experience economic hardship. This paper discusses the challenges women face when heading households, their vulnerabilities, as well as their methods of overcoming the challenges as they take up household responsibilities in the absence of men. This paper also gives accounts of women heading households from their perspectives on how they manage the day-to-day running of the household and the challenges they face in a post-conflict setting. It concludes that the emergence of women-headed households are not only the result of conflict and that they are not a temporary aberration. The paper highlights the need to understand women-headed households in their unique settings, considering many factors that could influence their socioeconomic behaviour. Many of the household surveys fall short of analyzing the complexities associated with women-headed households and fail to identify uniqueness. Therefore, this paper argues the need for qualitative ethnographic data to understand the complexities of women-headed households. Ethnicity and cultural backgrounds need to be considered when analysing data on women-headed households as their dealings and experiences differ in the way these factors play in. This paper also emphasises the need for development practitioners to pay attention to the prevailing understandings of household headship and agency when devising policies to assist women-headed households.

With the rapid growth in foreign trade business and the continuous expansion of customs functions, the amount of data obtained by customs monitoring systems has drastically increased, and risk management techniques have been widely used in the customs field. Risk assessment, as an important part of risk management, can help departments of customs to understand the possibility and impact of risks in advance. Assessing the risks of import and export enterprises is an important task for customs. However, the assessment is challenging because of the large-scale of data, rapidly changing information, and inherent fuzziness. To address this issue, this survey summarizes the existing risk assessment methods, combines the preliminaries of fuzzy logic and neural networks, and applies the representative risk assessment models in the risk assessment of import and export enterprises. The risk assessment models based on fuzzy logic and neural networks can handle vague and uncertain data and improve the efficiency of risk assessment through adaptive and learning capabilities. The combination of theoretical and simple case suggests that the risk assessment method based on fuzzy logic and neural networks has good feasibility for import and export enterprises and provides valuable references for developing effective risk assessment models of import and export enterprises in the future.

Identification of high-risk groups of falciparum malaria in western region of Ghana: The predictive value of ABO Blood group typology
Authors: Ampomah Paulina , Buadii Erica , Aboagye Benjamin
Published: June 2023

Background: Several studies have linked malaria to ABO blood groups with still others reporting insignificant association between ABO blood group system and malaria. Blood group ‘O’ has been shown to confer protection against severe malaria by studies in various populations but indecisive reports have been given about non-O blood groups in relation to their protection or vulnerability to severe malaria.

Objective: The present study sought to investigate the ABO blood group typology and the risk of developing severe malaria.

Materials and Methods: A total of 280 participants (140) with P. Falciparum malaria patients and 140 healthy controls) screened for ABO blood groups by Tile method were enrolled into the study. Thick and thin blood films stained with 10 % Giemsa were prepared for falciparum – infected individuals and their full blood counts obtained from the haematology analyzer (Cell Dyn 1800, Abbot Diagnostic Division, USA). Parasite counts were categorized into severe and uncomplicated malaria and further grouped into varying degrees of parasitaemia. The effects of parasite densities on some haematological parameters were then studied. Severe malaria was defined as hyperparasitaemia, malarial anaemia and thrombocytopenia.

Results: The frequency of blood group ‘A’ was significantly higher in patients with severe malaria compared to other blood groups (p = 0.042). Blood groups ‘A’ and ‘B’ showed higher parasite densities while ‘A’ and ‘AB’ blood groups revealed low platelet counts. Anaemia was severe in blood groups ‘A’ and ‘O’ (p ≤ 0.05). Previous studies including this current one highlighted the protected nature of blood group ‘O’ to severe malaria (p ≤ 0.05).

Conclusion: The present study provides the evidences that, individuals of blood group ‘A’ are highly susceptible to malaria infection and inferably with an increased risk of developing severe malaria than the other blood groups.
