Autologous Blood Transfusion as a Life Saving Measure for a Trauma Patient with Fracture Femur and Drug Induced Hemolytic Anemia: A Case Report.

A positive direct antiglobulin test has been reported in 1:1000 to 1:14,000 blood donors and 1-15 % of hospital patients. Drugs may cause a positive direct antiglobulin test result and/or immune-mediated haemolysis with an incidence of approximately 1 in a 1 million population. Our aim is to highlight the importance of following strict transfusion protocols and management insight in a direct antiglobulin test positive patient showing incompatibility with multiple units possibly due to drug induced immune haemolytic anaemia (DIIHA).

The Study of MIB-1 LI and CD 34 As A Marker of Proliferative Activity and Angiogenesis in Different Grades of Meningioma.

Introduction: Meningiomas comprise 24-30% of all tumours occurring in the central nervous system. Conventional morphologic critera as studied in routine Haematoxylin and Eosin stained sections (H & E) may not be accurate in grading and assessing prognosis in small stereotactic biopsy specimens. Thus, arises the need for objective methods for assessing tumour biology.
