Neonatal testing leading to the identification of Bh (para-Bombay) phenotype in the mother: case report with review of the literature
Authors: Mohan G. , Vaidya A. , Shastry S. 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Para-Bombay is a rare phenotype with a homozygous nonfunctional FUT1 gene and a normal FUT2 gene leading to H-deficient red blood cells (RBCs) with or without ABH substances, depending on inheritance of the ABO gene. This case is about a 5-day-old male baby suffering from sepsis who required a 45-mL packed RBC transfusion. The baby’s sample tested as A1B, D+ and mother’s sample tested as group O, D+ with group 4 discrepancy due to ABO isoagglutinins. Further workup of the mother’s sample with anti-H lectin was negative, which suggested the mother to be group Oh, D+. Antibody screening was panreactive with negative autocontrol, suggestive of anti-H. The titer of immunoglobulin (Ig)M anti-H was 64, IgG titer using dithiothreitol was 8, and anti-IH was absent. A negative adsorption and elution test suggested that RBCs were devoid of A and B antigens. The father’s sample tested clearly as group A1, D+; hence, the cis-AB blood group was ruled out in the baby. The secretor study of the mother’s saliva revealed the presence of B and H substances that neutralized polyclonal B and H antisera. Therefore, we concluded that the mother was of the para-Bombay (Bh) phenotype. This case highlights the importance of reverse grouping and resolving blood grouping discrepancies between mother and child―in this case because of an incongruous ABO blood type of the baby and the mother who was previously tested as group O, D+.

Published: June 2021

Abstract
Maternal antibody-mediated fetal red blood cell destruction secondary to non-D Rh system antibodies is a significant cause of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn. Here, we report a rare case of severe perinatal hemolytic disease associated with maternal antibody to the e antigen. In addition to severe anemia, the infant developed hyperbilirubinemia. Resolution of the infant’s anemia and hyperbilirubinemia occurred after treatment with phototherapy, intravenous immunoglobulin, and transfusion.
Effect of cryopreservation on a rare McLeod donor red blood cell concentrate
Authors: Turner T.R. , Clarke G. , Denomme G.A. , Skeate R. , Acker J.P. 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Units of red blood cell (RBC) concentrates with rare phenotypes are typically not included in method validation studies for cryopreservation processes; rather, they are reserved for patients with rare blood needs. Some rare RBC phenotypes may demonstrate membrane abnormalities, like acanthocytosis as observed for RBCs with the McLeod phenotype, and are specifically banked for these rare attributes; however, the impact that rare RBC phenotypes have on post-thaw quality has not been well studied. To evaluate how a rare RBC phenotype is affected by the cryopreservation process, 4 RBC units, cryopreserved in 1993 using manual methods, were selected for evaluation. These RBCs included one with the McLeod phenotype and three with phenotypes not known to cause significant membrane changes. Post-thaw, an altered deglycerolization protocol, implemented to reduce supernatant glycerol after cryopreservation, was used before processing RBCs on an automated closed system (ACP 215; Haemonetics, Boston, MA) to accommodate the use of a closed system cell processor not available when the RBC units were previously cryopreserved. RBC quality was tested at 24 hours, 7 days, and 14 days post-deglycerolization. Before deglycerolization, an extracted sample from the thawed glycerolized RBC unit was used to obtain genetic material for phenotype confirmation. Genotyping confirmed the McLeod phenotype. When comparing McLeod with non-McLeod units, RBCs from the McLeod donor exhibited acanthocytosis, higher rigidity, and lower morphology scores than RBCs from the non-McLeod units post-deglycerolization. Hemolysis, however, was comparable across all 4 units, meeting regulatory standards. Therefore, McLeod RBCs can withstand cryopreservation, suggesting that units from these donors, glycerolized using older methods, can be deglycerolized using the ACP 215 and stored hypothermically for 14 days. It was also determined that genotyping can be performed on non-leukocyte–reduced cryopreserved RBCs, allowing for confirmation of genetic profiles of donor units banked before the implementation of molecular methods.
A case series highlighting a common approach to identifying anti-Jk3
Authors: Talabong D.J.A.M. , Kelley W.E. 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
The Kidd-null phenotype, Jk(a–b–), is rare, and a patient with this phenotype may develop anti-Jk3, a red blood cell (RBC) antibody reactive with a domain common to both Jka and Jkb. Like other antibodies to high-prevalence antigens, the presence of this antibody poses challenges in the immunohematologic evaluation of these patients. Thoughtful laboratory testing is necessary to resolve the antibody specificity and to reveal other underlying antibodies. Moreover, the rarity of the Kidd-null phenotype makes finding blood donors difficult for those who need transfusion and have developed anti-Jk3. This review describes methods used in identifying anti-Jk3 in four pregnant patients. Blood bank records were retrospectively reviewed to illustrate the common approach in anti-Jk3 identification. In all cases, pertinent blood bank history was gathered, and extended RBC phenotyping was performed, followed by adsorption studies and testing of selected RBCs. Underlying antibodies were found in two of the cases. This review also reiterates some common challenges encountered with Kidd antibody analysis and highlights the importance of patient ethnic ancestry and obtaining accurate patient transfusion history.
Prescription Patterns and Compliance with Antimicrobial Stewardship Team Recommendations Among Physicians in a Private Hospital in United Arab Emirates
Authors: Al Shirawi Nehad Nabeel , Fadel Alyaa 
Published: June 2021

Aim:
To describe the prescription patterns and the compliance to antimicrobial stewardship team recommendations among physicians practicing at Al
Zahra Private Hospital, Dubai.

Methods:
A point prevalence study of antimicrobial prescription between January 2020 to April 2020 in “Al-Zahra” private hospital, Dubai, United Arab
Emirates. All patients aged > 14 years who were prescribed at least one dose of antimicrobial agents were included with a total of 666 patients.

Exclusion Criteria:
Patients are seen in A/E and ambulatory care who did not stay overnight and those who received antimicrobials for perioperative or medical
prophylaxis were excluded.

Statistical Analysis:
Statistical Analysis was done using excel program descriptive statistics were used to describe the baseline demographic data and clinical
characteristics. Categorical variables are presented as counts and percentages, whereas continuous variables are presented as mean.

Results:
A total of 666 patients’ medical records were reviewed during January 2020 to April 2020. Respiratory tract infections were the most common
diagnosis encountered (456/666), representing 68.5% in total. A total of 994 courses of antimicrobials were prescribed during the study period.
Antimicrobial was considered 'appropriate' in 70.3% (979/1393), and ‘not indicated' in 19.7% (273/1393) of cases. In the remaining 10% of cases
(141/1393), antimicrobial was indicated but required antimicrobial stewardship team (A.M.S) intervention. The compliance to accept antimicrobial
stewardship team recommendations and change therapy accordingly in our study was only 32.6% (133/412)

Conclusion:
In this study, the prevalence of inappropriate antimicrobial prescribing is comparable to that found in other studies worldwide. However, the
compliance with AMS recommendations is much lower than described in the literature.
Safety Issues in Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scan with Retention of Olympus Long Clips in the Gastrointestinal Tract
Authors: Wang Cheng-Yi , Chang Wei-Chou , Huang Hsin-Hung , Chang Wei-Kuo , Shih Yu-Lueng , Hsieh Tsai-Yuan , Lin Hsuan-Hwai 
Published: June 2021

Objective:
Not all endoscopic clips are compatible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The aim of this study is to investigate the safety of MRI-incompatible endoscopic clips in patients
undergoing MRI scans.

Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who had received endoscopic
clip placement of Olympus Long Clip MRI-incompatible clips and then had undergone MRI
scans within two weeks in our hospital between 2014 and 2019.

Results:
A total of 44,292 patients had undergone an MRI examination at our hospital. Only 15 patients
had MRI scans within two weeks after the endoscopic clip placement. Their median age was
65.5 years, and 12 of the 15 patients were men. At the time of the clip placement and MRI scan,
four patients were taking anti-coagulation or anti-platelet agents. The indication for endoscopic
clip placement of the 15 patients was mucosal/submucosal defect or hemorrhage and colonic perforation.
Endoscopic clips were placed in the colon of 14 patients and in the stomach of only one patient
for gastric hemorrhage. One patient experienced clip migration and three displayed artifacts in
abdominal images. No patient complications of mortality, hemorrhage, or organ perforation occurred.

Conclusion:
No serious adverse event occurred during MRI scans of patients with MRI-incompatible
clips in this study, suggesting that MRI-incompatible clips may be safe to use in MRI scans.
However, this does not guarantee the safety of the Long Clip for MRI scans, as further tests are
needed to verify that this clip is safe for use during MRI.

Authors: Baysan Caner , Yavaş Seher Palanbek , Uğur Karabat Mehmet 
Published: June 2021

Background. Vaccination is an important health service that reduces the morbidity and mortality of infectious diseases. In our study, it was aimed to examine the knowledge, attitude, risk perception of parents about vaccine refusal, and the vaccination status of their children in a province of Turkey with a low socioeconomic level. Materials and methods. In the study designed in a cross-sectional type, 105 parents (participation rate: 80.2 %) who rejected the vaccine were reached. Results. The most refused vaccine by the parents is DaBT-İPA-Hib (90.5 %) and the least rejected vaccine is BCG (58.1 %). It was determined that who thought vaccines have no benefits (p = 0.003), those who were doubtful about the content of the vaccine (p = 0.001), those who did not want the vaccine due to their religious beliefs (p = 0.006), and those who believed in natural immunity (p = 0.002) were less convinced about vaccinating their children at a statistically significant level than the other group. The vaccine with the highest rate is HAV (35.0 %, n = 7), and the vaccine with the lowest rate is BCG (8.3 %, n = 1) in terms of the rate of vaccination that they declare to be convinced to have it. Conclusions. When evaluated on the causes of vaccine refusal and persuasion, the primary source of information is provided by health workers with scientific evidence through different communication methods (social media, etc.) should be reached.

La educación indígena en la Sierra Tarahumara como un asunto de muerte: Obstáculos y retos ante una sociedad discriminatoria y desigual
Authors: Pintado-Cortina Ana Paula 
Published: June 2021

This article endeavors to present the social context in which the schools of the indigenous educational system, among the Ralámuli of the Sierra Tarahumara ravines, find themselves. It seeks to reveal a series of problems faced by both teachers and students, located in a distant, difficult to access and insecure region. The main argument is that the educational system is built upon discrimination and racism. In light of this situation, there is no real interest in building a quality school, and the social context in which both teachers and students find themselves is not taken into account seriously. This causes a series of consequences that not only have to do with professors and pupils difficulty fulfilling their obligations, but also the system itself exposes them to situations where their physical and moral integrity are at risk which could lead to the death not only of a culture and their life project, but also to their own.

P-velocity of the upper mantle
Authors: Gordienko V.V. , Gordienko L.Ya. 
Published: June 2021

The authors have constructed models featuring seismic P-wave velocity distribution in the upper mantle beneath oceanic, continental and transition regions, such as mid-ocean ridges, basins, trenches, island arcs, and back-arc troughs, Atlantic transitional zones, flanking plateaus of mid-ocean ridges, platforms, geosynclines, rifts, recent activation zones. The models are in agreement with the deep-seated processes in the tectonosphere as predicted in terms of the advection-polymorphism hypothesis. The models for areas of island arcs and coastal ridges are similar to those for alpine geosynclines disturbed by recent activation. The models for areas of mid-ocean ridges and back-arc troughs are identical. They fit the pattern of recent heat-and-mass transfer in the case of rifting, which, given the basic crust with continental thickness, leads to oceanization. The model for the basin reflects the effect of thermal anomalies smoothing beneath mid-ocean ridges or back-arc troughs about 60 million years later. The model for the trench and flanking plateau reflects the result of lateral heating of the mantle’s upper layers beneath the quiescent block from the direction of the island arc and basin (trench) and mid-ocean ridge and basin (flanking plateau).
A detailed bibliography on regions covered by studies was presented in the authors’ earlier publications over past eight years. There are quite significant differences between models for regions of the same type that are described in publications of other authors. This is largely due to the fact that individual authors adopt a priori concepts on the velocity structure of the upper mantle.
High variability of seismic P-wave velocities within the subsurface depth interval has been detected as a result of all sufficiently detailed studies. This variability is responsible for the sharp increase in the scatter of arrival times of waves from earthquakes at small angular distances. The corresponding segments of travel-time graphs were simply ignored, and the graphs started from about 3° after which the scatter of arrival time acquired a stable character. Accordingly, velocity profiles were constructed, as a rule, starting from depths of about 50 km. The constructed velocity profiles vary little from region to region with the same type of endogenous regimes. This enables us to maintain that the models represent standard (typical) VP distributions in the mantle beneath the regions, just as presumed in terms of the theory.

Published: June 2021

Substantiate a program for correcting negative and other ineffective attitudes in the process of table tennis training. The research material was negative and ineffective attitudes, as well as positive attitudes, a list of which was obtained during the first stage of the study using the autobiographical method and the method of expert assessments. The experts were 19 tennis players participating in regional and local competitions. At the second stage of the study, an experiment was conducted to correct negative and form positive attitudes with members of the tennis sports section of Bunin Yelets State University, for people. After the implementation of the program for correcting negative attitudes, its effectiveness was proved. The share of negative attitudes was significantly reduced; the place of negative attitudes was replaced by positive, productive attitudes. The implementation of the program showed that psychological training in the form of a readiness to demonstrate an anti-victim style in relations with rivals also allows increasing overall performance during training games when time is not wasted on unnecessary experiences of failure.
LANGUAGE ENVIRONMENT AS A PROBLEM OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN THE CONTEXT OF TEACHING A FUTURE TEACHER TO PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY
Authors: Nakonechna Larysa 
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the essence of the concept of «language environment» as a social phenomenon, one of the components of human living space, educational space of an educational institution, as well as a factor in the formation of language personality. The urgency of the issue is due to several factors, including the need to study the role of language environment in the formation of communicative competence of the student, as well as the effective preparation of future teachers for professional activities. The purpose of the publication is to outline the conceptual apparatus of research of the language environment in the context of preparing future teachers for professional activity. The author conducted an analysis of research on the problem; considered the directions of studying the language environment as a social phenomenon; clarified the conceptual meaning of a number of terms that comprehensively describe the language environment; identified and analyzed some controversial issues on this question; revealed the author's understanding of the definitions of «language environment» and «speech environment»; described the types of language environment in Ukraine. The research methodology is based on general scientific research methodі such as comparison and generalization, analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction, methods of abstraction, classification, systematization. Thus, the language / speech environment as a multifaceted linguistic, cultural and educational phenomenon is an extremely important factor in the development of personality both in terms of the formation of its speech qualities and the formation of national consciousness and national identity.
