Background: Rh-DEL type is not detected on routine serology and requires specialized adsorption elution methods which are laborious. Identifying the DEL phenotype in blood donors is important to prevent alloimmunization in transfusion recipients. The present study aimed to determine the frequency of DEL phenotype in RhD-negative North Indian blood donors and correlate the results with Rh Cc/Ee phenotype.

Background: There is increasing evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted adversely on the provision of essential health services globally. The Southeast Asia region (SEAR) has experienced extremely high rates of COVID-19 infection, with potential adverse impacts on provision of reproductive, maternal, neonatal, and child health (RMNCH) services.

Methods: We conducted a systematic literature review of quantitative evidence to characterise the impact of COVID-19 on the provision of essential RMNCH services across the SEAR.

Anemia in critically ill patients requires red cell transfusions to increase oxygen delivery and prevent deleterious outcomes. The primary objective of the present study was to determine the effect of storage age of transfused red cells on 30-day mortality in critically ill patients, with secondary objectives of determining the effect on length of stay, organ failure, and adverse transfusion reactions. This prospective study was conducted on patients admitted to the intensive care unit after obtaining approval from institutional ethics committee.
