Aims: Blood Group Antigens (ABO) are present on the surface of all cells, including urinary tract cells. Besides, they are a predisposing factor for infection in various parts of the body. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of bacteriuria and its relationship with different blood groups. Methods & Materials: This descriptive-analytical (cross-sectional) study was performed in 2019 on 400 pregnant women who were selected by convenience sampling method. For each pregnant woman referring to Allameh Behlool Hospital in Gonabad City, Iran, a form including patients’ demographic characteristics, medical history, and blood type was completed. Data analysis was performed in SPSS using descriptive statistics and the Chi-squared test. The significance level of the tests was considered P<0.05. Findings: Of the explored 400 pregnant women with a Mean±SD age of 27.31±5.9 years, 58 were bacterially positive. There was a significant relationship between bacteriuria and ABO blood groups (P=0.001). The examined pregnant women with blood groups O (48.3) and B (29.3) were at higher risk of bacteriuria. There was a significant relationship between bacteriuria and gestational age (P=0.016); accordingly, 56.9% of the study subjects with bacteriuria were in the third trimester. There was no significant relationship between bacteriuria and educational level (P=0.944), and place of residence (P=0.494). Conclusion: The prevalence of bacteriuria among referred pregnant women was measured to be 14.5%. Moreover, pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy with blood types O and B were at higher risks for bacteriuria. Therefore, considerations, such as advising this group about the susceptibility to bacteriuria and urinary tract infections, personal hygiene, and faster referral for diagnostic and therapeutic measures if presenting symptoms, as well as informing doctors and obstetricians about this condition and help to make faster decisions are recommended in this respect.

A series of glycoproteins and glycolipids on red blood cell surface constitute blood group antigens. These are AB, A, B and O in ABO blood group system and Rh in rhesus blood group system. A total of 1065 unrelated Backward Caste (OBC) individuals from Uttar Pradesh were studied for the phenotype and allele frequency distribution of ABO and Rh (D) blood groups. Total 1065 samples analyzed, phenotype B blood type has the highest frequency 36.81% (n=392), followed by O (32.68%; n=348), A (23.66%; n=252) and AB (6.85%; n=73). The overall phenotypic frequencies of ABO blood groups were B>O>A>AB. The allelic frequencies of O, A, and B alleles were 0.5819, 0.1674 and 0.2506 respectively. Out of total 1065 samples, 1018 (95.59%) samples were Rh-positive and 47 (4.41%) were Rh-negative. Phenotypic frequency of Rh-negative in Koari, Yadav, Kurmi and Maurya samples were 0.99%, 4%, 1.4% and 7.6% respectively.

Objective To investigate correlations between ABO/rhesus (Rh) blood group antigens and anti- Helicobacter pylori and anti-cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) seropositivity in blood donors. Methods A total of 311 blood donors were enrolled. ABO and Rh blood groups were determined using hemagglutination tests. Specific anti- H. pylori IgG and anti-CagA IgG antibodies in sera were quantitated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Correlations between blood groups and anti- H. pylori and anti-CagA seropositivity were evaluated using the Chi-square test. Results O+ was the most frequent blood type (38%, n = 118). Anti- H. pylori IgG seropositivity was observed in 240 (77.2%) blood donors, while anti-CagA IgG seropositivity was observed in 132 (42.5%) blood donors. Although seropositivity rates for both anti- H. pylori and anti-CagA IgG were higher in individuals with blood type O, no statistically significant associations were observed between seropositivity and any ABO/Rh blood groups. Conclusion Individuals with blood type O may have higher rates of H. pylori seropositivity.

Abstract Background Transplacental or fetomaternal hemorrhage (FMH) may occur during pregnancy or at delivery and lead to immunization to the D antigen if the mother is Rh-negative and the baby is Rh-positive. This can result in hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) in subsequent D-positive pregnancies. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to estimate distribution of ABO and Rh (D) blood groups among pregnant women in Ethiopia. Method We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, HINARI, AFRO Library Databases, and African Online Journal databases for all available studies using the following keywords: “High rhesus (Rh(D)) negative frequency”, “ABO blood group distribution”, “haemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN)”, “rh isoimmunization”, “anti-RhD immunoglobulin”, “D-negative pregnancies”, “Frequency”, “ABO and Rh blood group distribution”, “feto-maternal hemorrhage”, “rhesus D negative pregnant mothers”, “kleihauer-betke test (KBT)”, “Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia”, “non-sensitized RhD-negative pregnant women”, “antenatal anti-D immunoglobulin prophylaxis”, “Hemolytic disease of the newborn (alloimmunization), Ethiopia. The search string was developed using “AND” and “OR” Boolean operators. All published and unpublished observational studies reporting the distribution of ABO and Rh (D) blood groups among pregnant women in Ethiopia were included. The study participants were all pregnant women in Ethiopia, and the main outcome measure of this systematic review and meta-analysis was Rhesus D-negative blood type and ABO blood group distribution among pregnant women in Ethiopia. The data was extracted by the author (AAA) by using a standardized JBI data extraction format. Microsoft Excel (2016), and Stata version 11.0 (Stata Corporation, College Station, Texas, USA) software were used for data entry and analysis, respectively. The random effect model was used for estimating the pooled effects, and the publication bias was assessed by visual inspection of the funnel plots and objectively by using the Egger’s test (i.e. p < 0.05). Results One hundred thirty-two articles were identified through electronic database searching. Of which, 34 were excluded due to duplication, 65 through review of titles and abstracts, and 22 full-text articles were excluded for not reporting the outcome variable and other reasons. Finally, 7 were included to estimate the distribution of ABO and Rh (D) blood groups among pregnant women in Ethiopia. The pooled distribution of Rh-negative blood group among pregnant women in Ethiopia was 10.8% (95%CI: 7.53–14.07, I2 = 85%, p < 0.001). In the ABO system, type O was the most prevalent 39.9% (37.51–42.38), followed by A (30.59% (26.00–35.18)), B (23.04% (20.03–26.05)), and AB the least (4.82%(3.17–6.47)), in the pattern O > A > B > AB. Conclusion The pooled distribution of Rh-negative blood group among pregnant women in Ethiopia was high. Rh alloimmunization remains a major factor responsible for perinatal morbidity in Ethiopia and may result in the compromise of the woman’s obstetric care due to the unaffordability of anti-D immunoglobulin. There is the urgent need for the implementation of universal access to anti-D immunoglobulin for the Rh-negative pregnant population in Ethiopia.

Background: Rh(D) alloimmunization prophylaxis should be administered to unsensitized Rh(D)-negative pregnant women. A routine antenatal dose and a postpartum dose for women that delivered an Rh(D)-positive neonate are recommended. Due to a very low prevalence of Rh(D)-negative blood type in Thai population, awareness of this specific management may be lacking. Objective: To determine the proportion of unsensitized Rh(D)-negative pregnant women that delivered at Siriraj Hospital who received a complete course of anti-D immunoglobulin and to determine the factors associated with the failure to achieve a complete administration as well as pregnancy and neonatal outcomes. Materials and Methods: Medical records of 133 unsensitized Rh(D)-negative pregnant women were reviewed to determine the proportion of cases receiving a complete anti-D prophylaxis. Possible reasons for missing anti-D administration were postulated. Comparison between cases receiving and not receiving antenatal anti-D prophylaxis was performed in terms of associated factors. Pregnancy and neonatal outcomes were compared between women who received complete prophylaxis and those who did not. Results: A complete anti-D prophylaxis was obtained in 71.4% of the women with antenatal dose given to 78.2%. Late antenatal care (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.4 to 4.9) and late or no antenatal care at Siriraj Hospital (OR 7.1, 95% CI 2.8 to 17.9) were associated with missing antenatal anti-D administration. Desire for tubal sterilization and positive maternal Rh(D)-antibody in the third trimester appeared to be the causes of postpartum dose omission. Pregnancy and neonatal outcomes were comparable between women receiving and not receiving a complete anti-D prophylaxis. Conclusion: The proportion of unsensitized Rh(D)-negative pregnant women delivering at Siriraj Hospital who received a complete anti-D prophylaxis was 71.4%. Late antenatal care, late or no antenatal care at Siriraj Hospital, desire for tubal sterilization, and positive maternal Rh(D)-antibody in the third trimester were associated with the incomplete Rh(D) alloimmunization prophylaxis.

SUMMARY AIM The aim of this study is to analyze the prognostic significance of ABO and Rh blood group antigens along with various parameters in patients followed-up with the diagnosis of COVID-19. METHODS We evaluated 397 patients who were follow-up and treated due to COVID-19 infections. The ages, genders, chronic diseases, ABO and Rh blood group antigens, admission rates to Intensive Care Units (ICU), and mortality rates of the patients were analyzed. FINDINGS The mean age of the 397 patients with COVID-19 was 47±17 years. In the blood group analysis of the patients, A Rh-positive (A +) was the most frequently seen blood type (176 patients, 44.3%) followed by O Rh-positive (0 +) (109 patients, 27,5%); 38 patients were Rh negative (Rh -) (9,6%). 53 of the patients (13,4%) were followed in ICU and 29 patients died (7,3%). Neither mortality nor admission to ICU was seen for Rh – group. The comparison of Rh groups concerning the need for ICU admission revealed a significantly high rate of ICU admission in the Rh + group (p=0,011), while no significant relationship was found between mortality and Rh antigen (p=0,069). CONCLUSION The most frequently seen blood type among COVID-19 patients was A +. The Rh + blood group was found in all cases who were admitted to ICU and had a death outcome. The Rh + blood group was found in a significantly high number of patients who were admitted to ICU, while no significant relationship was found between mortality and Rh blood group.

When pregnancy enters the third trimester, physical and psychological changes will occur. Physical changes in the third trimester of pregnancy such as increased frequency of urination, enlarged uterus, back pain and fetal movement and psychological changes that occur during pregnancy include anxiety, fear and depression. This condition causes sleep disorders in pregnant women. The preliminary study conducted by researchers at the midwifery clinic of Puskesmas Tiban Baru amounted to 30 people. After being interviewed, 17 of them were pregnant women in their third trimester who had trouble sleeping at night. Management to overcome this difficulty sleeping includes non-pharmacological pregnancy exercises. This study aims to determine the relationship between pregnancy exercise with. This research method used cross sectional. This research instrument used an instrument, a sample of 30 pregnant people. The results of this study were that more than 67% of routine pregnancy exercise was performed and 77% good sleep duration, in this case the results of the Chi-square test conducted had a significant relationship between exercise. pregnant with sleep duration. With a significant value of p <0.05, that is = 0.002. From the results of the study it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between pregnancy exercise and sleep duration, in this case research suggests that for further research the factors that cause sleep duration are reduced in pregnant women.
