INTRODUCTION: Coronovirus disease(COVID-19)rapidly spread worldwide after its first report in December 2019,in China.This spread drastically reduced the number of blood donations,thereby creating a shortage at blood banks in the whole world.Turkish Red Crescent(TRC) is the only legal authority that organizes collection,production,storage and distribution of blood and blood components in Turkey.Only in case of emergencyTRC gives permanent permission to hospitals;for collecting blood and producing its components through their own transfusion centers.This report describes how theCOVID-19 impacted blood supplies ofTRC and hospital demands in Turkey with an aim to improve the management of blood supply and demand during theCOVID-19 and future pandemics. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted for a period of nine months;from November 1,2019 to July 31,2020.Data were retrospectively obtained from donor attendance and blood inventory records ofTRC and included;1)the number of donated units of apheresis platelet concentrates(APC) and blood toTRC,2)the number of units ofAPC and erythrocyte suspensions(ES) supplied by the hospitals themselves,3)the number of units of APC andES supplied to hospitals by TRC(APCHandESH).The periods before(first period) and after(third period)arrival of COVID-19 to Turkey are compared. RESULTS: An increase of 52%in the number of APCdonations,but a decrease of 22% in the number of blood donations(NBD) were detected in the third period compared to the first one.Mean APCH were 7081±550 and5121±255 units in the first and third periods,respectively.The mean ESH in the first period was 873±326 units,while it was3694±3143 units in the third period. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: It is obvious that we have learnt many lessons from theCOVID-19 pandemic,like how to face challenges in maintaining the balance between blood demandandblood supply.Utilizing media to encourage donors and implementation of PatientBloodManagement on national and institutional levels may be some some of the key components of a comprehensive strategy.The collaboration ofMinistry of Health,TRC and hospitalswassuccessful in securing a balance between blood supply and demand in Turkey,which COVID-19 pandemic impacted significantly.

Background. The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic caused a major impact on blood donation process and supply globally. A lockdown management procedure was launched nationally in Saudi Arabia to manage this global health crisis. The main aim of this study was to determine the effect of COVID-19 lockdown on blood donation services and supply in different regions of Saudi Arabia. Study Design and Methods. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the blood bank centers of 5 major cities including Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Hail, and Jizan in Saudi Arabia. Demographic and blood characteristics were retrieved from the first 6 months of 2019 (January–June) and compared to the same period of 2020. Results. Our findings showed variation in the characteristics of blood donation and supply among the centers surveyed, as some of these centers were adversely affected, while others showed an increase in the availability of blood products during the pandemic. For example, Jeddah’s center was significantly affected by COVID-19 lockdown whereas Hail’s center showed a significant increase in the analyzed characteristics of blood donation services in 2020 compared to 2019. Overall, there was no major difference among the surveyed centers between 2020 and 2019, and this might be due to the effective management of blood supply and transfusion. Discussion. Although blood supply and transfusion practice was slightly affected at various degree among the surveyed centers, the whole process did not show a significant effect on the overall outcome. This is in fact due to the proper preparedness, management of blood requirements and supplies, and efficient response of the surveyed centers in Saudi Arabia.

Systematic Data Collection

Aim: Quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic altered the supply and demand of health services. This, together with the “infodemic” and generalized panic, could alter the patterns of self-medication in the population. The objective was tocharacterize the patterns of self-medication in four municipalities of Colombia during mandatory preventive isolation in 2020. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study done in the municipality of Pereira and its metropolitan area during mandatory national preventive isolation between June and September 2020. A sample of 397 adults who responded to an online survey, based on the Instrument for Systematic Data Collection for Self-medication (Instrumento de Recolección Sistemática de Datos para la Automedicación - IRIS-AM), was obtained. The use of social networks (including WhatsApp) as the source of information about medications was explored. Results: The 397 people surveyed had a median age of 31.0 years, and 58.2% were women. The prevalence of self-medication during lockdown was 34.3% (n=136). Medications targeting the nervous system (n=117; 86.0% of those participants with self-medication) and the musculoskeletal system (n=68; 50.0%) were the most commonly used. Ten (7.4%) of the self-medicated patients reported doing so to prevent COVID-19, and 15 (11.0%) named social networks as the source of information. Conclusions: More than one-third of the participants reported self-medication during COVID-19 lockdown, mainly with analgesic-type nervous system medications. People who reported self-medication to prevent COVID-19 often got their information from social networks, the internet, and WhatsApp.

Abstract A study by Yaruss and Quesal (2002), based on responses from 134 of 239 ASHA accredited graduate programs, indicated that approximately 25% of graduate programs in the United States allow students to earn their degree without having coursework in fluency disorders and 66% of programs allow students to graduate without clinical experience treating people who stutter (PWS). It is not surprising that many clinicians report discomfort in treating PWS. This cross-sectional study compares differences in beliefs about the cause of stuttering between freshman undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory course in communicative disorders and graduate students enrolled and in the final weeks of a graduate course in fluency disorders.
