Department of Clinical Laboratory Sciences, College of Applied Medical Sciences-Al-Qurayyat, Jouf University, Saudi Arabia.
Objective: Blood donation plays a critical role in healthcare systems by supplying blood and blood products for surgeries, emergency care, and chronic disease management. In Saudi Arabia, the prevalence of genetic disorders, like sickle cell disease and thalassemia, further increase the need for a stable blood supply. However, high rates of donor deferrals remain a significant barrier to maintaining a reliable blood supply.

Article Synopsis
- Blood donation is crucial for saving lives, especially in emergencies, but many patients, particularly in developing countries, face challenges accessing safe blood due to infrastructure issues and low donor rates driven by cultural beliefs and misconceptions.
- The study aims to evaluate the patterns and causes of blood donor deferrals at a tertiary care hospital over a 36-month period, focusing on identifying the incidence and reasons behind these deferrals.
- Using a cross-sectional retrospective approach, the research analyzes donor demographics, deferral rates among genders, and employs statistical methods to explore potential relationships between gender and deferral rates.

Objective: To assess long-term clinical outcomes and factors associated with target vessel revascularisation in patients with deferred revascularisation based on negative fractional flow reserve and negative instantaneous wave-free ratio.
Methods: The longitudinal, retrospective study was conducted from July 1, 2020, to January 1, 2022, at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, and comprised medical records from January 2012 to January 2020 of patients with deferred revascularisation having intermediate to severe coronary lesions on coronary angiogram and had negative fractional flow reserve >0.80 or instantaneous wave-free ratio >0.

Division of Emergency Medicine, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA.
Objectives: Research highlights racial disparities among those experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV), yet little is known about disparities in addressing IPV in the emergency department (ED). This study was designed to examine variability in offering IPV universal education to adult caregivers across patient race within an urban pediatric ED and to explore provider attitudes regarding the role of race in this process.
Methods: We conducted a mixed-methods study using quantitative data on rates of offering adult caregivers IPV universal education and rates of missing documentation for when IPV universal education was not offered to adult caregivers from January 2016 to December 2020.
