If the patient has antibody to low incidence antigen providing compatible blood for transfusion is not a problem. It is however necessary to identify such antibodies to assess their potential to cause hemolytic transfusion reaction and hemolytic disease of newborn. We identified anti C(w) in patient's serum while investigating the cause of incompatible cross match in a female thalassemia patient. Anti C(w) is an antibody against C(w) (Rh8) antigen, which is a low incidence antigen of Rh system. This case also prompted us to study frequency of C(w) antigen in our donor population as the frequency of C(w) antigens in our population is not reported. Frequency of C(w) antigens in north Indian donors was found to be 1.2 %.

The Healthy Supermarket Coach: effects of a nutrition peer-education intervention in Dutch supermarkets on adolescents' food purchases.
BMC Med
January 2025
Amsterdam Public Health, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Background: Dutch adolescents predominantly purchase unhealthy snacks in supermarkets, which negatively influence their health. The aim of this study was to investigate the short- and longer-term effects of a nutrition peer-education intervention in supermarkets on food purchases and determinants of food purchase behaviour among adolescents of different education levels.
Methods: We performed a quasi-experimental study in three supermarkets (two intervention and one comparison school) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Late-life physical activity, midlife-to-late-life activity patterns, APOE ε4 genotype, and cognitive impairment among Chinese older adults: a population-based observational study.

Background: Although physical activity (PA) has been linked to cognitive health, the nuanced relationships between different dimensions of PA and cognitive impairment remain inconclusive. This study investigated associations between late-life PA levels, midlife-to-late-life activity patterns, and cognitive impairment in Chinese older adults, considering potential moderation by apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 genotype.
Methods: We analyzed baseline data from 6,899 participants (median age 68 years, 55.
The role of a "volume sparing" strategy in kidney replacement therapy of AKI: a retrospective single-center study.

Nephrology Unit, V. Fazzi Hospital, Lecce, Italy.
Background: The KDIGO recommendation in acute kidney injury (AKI) patients requiring kidney replacement therapy is to deliver a Urea Kt/V of 1.3 for intermittent thrice weekly hemodialysis, and an effluent volume of 20-25 ml/kg/hour when using continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Considering that prior studies have suggested equivalent outcomes when using CRRT-prolonged intermittent renal replacement therapy (PIRRT) effluent doses below 20 mL/kg/h, our group investigated the possible benefits of low effluent volume CRRT-PIRRT (12.

Goats are the one of the most susceptible domestic species to toxoplasmosis affecting animal health and production. The present study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection in dairy goats from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as well as to evaluate associated risk factors, parasitic DNA detection in raw goat milk samples, and attempts to isolate the parasite from raw goat milk samples.

The effects of short-term ambient ozone (O) exposure on health outcomes have received growing concerns, but its effects on psoriasis is still unclear. The purpose of our study was to investigate the effects of short-term exposure to O on psoriasis, and to find out potential modifiers. A hospital-based time-series study with outpatient visit data of psoriasis was performed in Chongqing, the largest metropolitan in Southeast China.
