Background: Gynecological cancers (GCs) affect the reproductive system of females, and are of multiple types depending on the affected organ most common of which are cervical, endometrial, ovarian cancers. Among different risk factors for GCs, ABO blood group system is considered as one of the pivotal contributing factors for increased susceptibility of GCs. The aim of our study was to report on the demographics of GC patients and to investigate the relationship between the ABO blood group system and the risk of acquiring GC in our population.

Despite the advances in paleogenomics, red cell blood group systems in ancient human populations remain scarcely known. Pioneer attempts showed that Neandertal and Denisova, two archaic hominid populations inhabiting Eurasia, expressed blood groups currently found in sub-Saharans and a rare "rhesus", part of which is found in Oceanians. Herein we fully pictured the blood group genetic diversity of 22 Homo sapiens and 14 Neandertals from Eurasia living between 120,000 and 20,000 years before present (yBP).

Background: The ABO blood group system has shown an association with cardiovascular disease. The susceptibility to CVD is proposed to be partly mediated by dyslipidaemia in non-O individuals. Previous studies are scarce for the RhD blood group, but we recently showed that RhD - young individuals are associated with subclinical atherosclerosis.

Objectives: Autoantibodies mimicking alloantibodies (referred to as mimicking antibodies) are a type of specific antibody that reacts with all red blood cells, but exhibits a stronger reaction with red blood cells expressing the target antigens. This study aimed to explore immunohematologic methods for identifying mimicking antibodies, autoantibodies and alloantibodies, and to formulate safe transfusion strategies based on the results.
Methods: ABO, Rh blood types and direct antiglobulin test were determined using the tube saline method.

Background: A large, retrospective study was designed to interrogate current NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) HLA matching strategies for the provision of HLA selected platelets (HLA SP) and to determine whether additional factors such as ABO blood group matching, patient diagnosis, patient and/or donor age, sex, ethnicity, age of platelet unit at transfusion and possibly seasonal variation also play a role in transfusion efficacy.
Materials And Methods: Data for 56 640 HLA SP transfusions over a 3-year period were collected. Transfusions with missing data for any factor under consideration were excluded, resulting in a cohort of 13 044 transfusions for analysis.
