Donor Deferral

: Blood Transfusion Services is vital part of health care system which saves many lives annually across the globe. Shortage of blood donors is a problem faced by all the blood banks. Many donors are deferred either due to temporary or permanent causes which differ across the blood banks.: The study was carried out on 1646 donors which came to the blood bank.: Total 194 donors were deferred out of 1646 registered donors due to different reasons, anaemia followed by intake of medicines were found to be most common causes of deferral and males were deferred more as compared to the females.: The donor deferral rate in the present study was 11.78 with anaemia as the most common cause of deferral followed by intake of medicines. The temporarily deferred donors need to be closely followed up to ensure their contribution in the blood banks after the treatment of their causes.

Head Computed Tomography

ABSTRACT Introduction: Emergency head computed tomography (CT) is rising exponentially during off working hours due to evidence-based medicine, patient’s expectation and desires, easy availability and apprehension of medico-legal cases, thereby raising health-care cost. There is huge gap in demand and supply of radiologist, especially during off working hours. There is need to know the pattern of emergency head findings. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of all emergent noncontrast CT head during off working hours in the Department of Radiodiagnosis of a Tertiary Care Hospital, Mumbai, India, which were performed from June 2017 to May 2018. CT findings of 308 patients were analyzed. Results: About 63.6% of total head CT showed no significant abnormality. The most common abnormality was intracranial hemorrhage which was just 9.1% followed by acute infarct which was 6.2%. Extradural hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage was only 1% each of total head CT findings. No significant abnormality was detected in 74.65%, 70.21%, 89.13%, 31.37%, 100%, and 69.09% in cases of head injury, seizure, giddiness/dizziness/syncope, cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attack, and altered sensorium, respectively. Conclusion: Pattern analysis of emergent head CT reveals that most of the emergent CT head shows no significant abnormality. There is a need for stringent guidelines for emergent head CT, training of emergency physician as well as CT technician for common findings to bridge the radiologist demand-supply gap for providing effective health care in peripheral hospitals.

The 1960S

Since its debut in the 1960s, the broad use and availability of benzodiazepines has mirrored the increased incidence of overdose cases. Due to its non-specic presentation, there is often a delay in diagnosis. We report a case of Benzodiazepine toxicity in a 70-year-old man who presented to us in a comatose state. He was evaluated at another hospital initially and was intubated in view of his low Glasgow Coma scale. A CT brain plain study was done suspecting a basilar artery thrombus and he was referred to us for Neuro-Interventional procedures. As radiological, laboratory and electrophysiological investigations were unremarkable a provisional diagnosis of drug intoxication was made after patient medication review and a trial of Flumazenil was given, after which the patient had improved dramatically. Flumazenil is not routinely used due to fears of withdrawal seizures and its high cost. It also has no effect on reversing sedation caused by barbiturates, ethanol, or opioids. The antidote has a favorable risk-benet ratio when dosed appropriately and can be a helpful diagnostic tool after ruling out the more common causes of acute sensorium loss as demonstrated by this case report.
