Abstract Background Malaria continues to be a major health problem in developing sub-Saharan countries including Ethiopia. Malaria is a complex disease and its local characteristics are determined by a variety of geographical, environmental, insect vector, host, and parasite factors.Methods A hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of malaria and its possible association with hemoglobin level and ABO blood group among individuals attending Mekaneeyesus Primary Hospital, Estie District, northwestern Ethiopia. Socio-demographic variables and relevant data were collected from 390 randomly selected individuals through structured questionnaire. Then, thick and thin smears were prepared from finger pricked blood samples, stained, and examined microscopically for detection and identification of malaria parasites. ABO blood group and hemoglobin levels of the same subjects were also determined. The data generated were entered into a computer and analyzed for descriptive and logistic regression models using SPSS version 23.0. Variables with p-value < 0.05 in multivariable logistic regression were considered as explanatory variables.Results The overall prevalence of malaria was 8.5%; Plasmodium vivax (5.6%) was the most predominant, followed by P. falciparum (2.3%), and mixed infection of the two species (0.5%). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, being male (AOR = 3.48), under-five years of age (AOR = 72.84), rural residence (AOR = 2.64), and failing to use bed net (AOR =4.65) were significantly associated with the risk of malaria infection. Most (14.6%) of malaria positives cases were among individuals with blood group “A”, while the least number of cases were among subjects with blood group “O”. Individuals with blood group “A” were about four times more likelihood of getting malaria as compared to individuals with blood group “O” (AOR= 3.74). The prevalence of anemia was 23% and significantly associated with malaria (p<0.05).Conclusions Malaria in the study area is still higher than the average prevalence at country level. Therefore special attention should be given to the prevention and control strategies with the objective of increasing the awareness of local community towards malaria.

Objectives: To determine frequencies of ABO blood group in T2DM in tertiary Care, Pakistan. Study Design: Descriptive, Cross-sectional study. Place: Conducted in the department of medicine, Ghulam Muhammad Mahar Medical Teaching Hospital (GMMMC). Duration: From January 2016 to July 2016. Methods: With consent of patients having T2DM of both genders and 30-70 years of age. Non-probability, Consecutive sampling was used. Total of 196 patients were enrolled during this time period. After taking consent, blood samples taken from peripheral vein for blood grouping were sent to the Central Laboratory GMMMC. Laboratory technician determined blood group using standard techniques. All this information was collected through a self-structured Performa. Results: Participants in our study were from age range 30 to 70 years with mean age of 53.26 ± 7.28 years. Out of the 196 patients, 110 (56.1%) were female and 86 (43.9%) were male. The prevalence of blood group A, B, AB and O in patients with ischemic stroke was found to be as of following; 34 patients having blood group A (17.3%), 74 patients having blood group B (37.8%), 18 patients having blood group AB (9.2%) and 70 patients having blood group O (35.7%) respectively. Stratification was also done on gender basis. 75.5% (n=148) had positive family history. Conclusion: Blood group B +ve was the most prevalent blood group in T2DM in our study.

Objectives: Pakistan has highest mortality rate due to hypertension and its complications. Hypertension is a squealed of Pre- hypertension which is believed to start at adolescent and continue to adulthood. Association of blood group with hypertension is evident but still hypothesized. This study aims to find the frequency of prehypertension and its association with blood group. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting:  Aziz Fatimah Medical and Dental College, Faisalabad. Period: 15 March’18 to 15 Sep’18. Material and Methods:  It was comprised of in comprised of 100 MBBS students. Demographic data including age, weight, height, waist and hip circumference, and BMI was determined. Blood group was determined with help of conventional slide method. Blood pressure was measured by auscultatory method. Data was analyzed by using SPSS 21. Continuous variables are given in mean and standard deviation. Categorical data was given in frequency and percentages. P value≤ 0.05 is taken as significant. Results: Out of 100 participants most common blood group was group ‘O’ (43%) followed by B (35 %) and AB (13%) and A (9%).36% of total population was pre-hypertensive and 64% were normotensive. Prehypertension is most commonly found in blood group ‘A’ (77%) followed by blood group ‘O’ (46.5%). Significant difference was found in means of SBP (p value= 0.001*) and DBP (p value= 0.000*) among the various blood groups. Conclusion: Most common blood group in studied population was ‘O’ although hypertension was most commonly observed in blood group A followed by ‘O’.

The objective of this study was to determine the blood groups among the patients presenting with ischemic stroke either AB blood group or O blood group is more common (frequent) among these patients irrespective of other known factors responsible for stroke. Study Design: Descriptive, Cross-sectional study. Setting: Department of Medicine, Nishtar Hospital Multan. Period: January 2015 to August 2015. Materials & Methods: We included total 292 patients (40-70 years of age), with ischemic stroke documented on CT scan brain of both gender (male and female). Blood sample of these patients were sent to the central laboratory of Nishtar hospital for blood group determination using standard techniques. Results: Mean age was 56.26 ± 8.28 years. Out of the 292 patients, 163 (55.82%) were male and 129 (44.18%). Frequency of blood group A, B, AB and O in patients with ischemic stroke was found to be 114 patients having blood group A (39.04%), 53 patients having blood group B (18.15%), 26 patients having blood group AB (8.90%) and 99 patients having blood group O (33.90%) respectively. Conclusion: Our study results concluded that there is an association between ABO blood groups and ischemic stroke, irrespective of other risk factors. Our study results have observed that individuals belonging to non-O blood groups (A, B, or AB) are at an increased risk of ischemic stroke as compared to O blood group carriers however we did not control possible impact of confounders such as diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia etc. Many studies proved that persons with AB blood groups are at increased of atherosclerosis but no study showed that these persons have increased risk of ischemic stroke or not.
