Background: The aim of donor selection should protect donors from any potential harm which may occur as a direct result of the donation process; secondly, shall protect recipients of blood transfusions from adverse effects, such as transmission of infectious diseases or other medical conditions and unwanted effects caused by any medications taken by the donor. Any reason for deferral, whether temporary or permanent, have been explained to the donor and recorded as per National Guideline and Blood Safety Law. Literature search showed there is dearth information on replacement blood donors in Bangladesh. So this study has been done to evaluate replacement family blood donors, exploring their demographic status, occupation, blood groups and why they were rejected during donor selection.Methods: This study was done to assess the demographic profile and blood group among family blood donors during donor selection. Age, weight, occupation, blood group and blood pressure have been explored among randomly selected two hundred ninety one blood donors attending Transfusion Medicine Department of BIRDEM as per Guideline.Results: Among them 261 (89.69%) were male and 30 (10.31%) were female with M±SD age 29±6 and 29±7 (yrs), respectively. Blood group of replacement family donors were, ‘A’ positive (39.7%), ‘B’ positive 90(32%), ‘O’ positive 18 (6%), ‘AB’ positive 39 (13%) majority (57.04%) were unmarried , 52.58% were doing business, while students were 29.90% and job holders were only 17.53%. Among nine deferred donors females were mainly rejected (89.28%) and the contributing factor was low blood pressure according to guideline. Finally 96.91% successful family blood donors donated blood for the patient party.Conclusion: Our study showed proper selection and following of blood donation guideline help to determine the eligibility to donate blood. Moreover, this pilot study may contribute in evaluation of Bangladeshi family blood donors those had positive blood group and negative serological markers as per WHO (World Health Organization) guideline for Bangladesh.Birdem Med J 2016; 6(2): 112-117

Abstrak Berdasarkan standar organisasi kesehatan dunia WHO, jumlah kebutuhan minimal darah di Indonesia sekitar 5,1 juta kantong darah per tahun (2% jumlah penduduk Indonesia). Ketersediaan darah tergantung pada donor darah sukarela. Kepuasan pendonor dapat meningkatkan keinginan untuk mendonor kembali. Hal ini dapat didukung oleh adanya komunikasi efektif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan komunikasi efektif dilihat dari aspek REACH (respect, emphaty, audible, clarify, humble) dengan kepuasan pendonor darah dalam pelayanan seleksi donor di UTD PMI Kota Yogyakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross sectional dengan metode accidental sampling. Kuesioner dibagikan kepada 30 responden terpilih yang melakukan donor darah di UTD PMI Kota Yogyakarta. Uji statistik yang digunakan adalah Somers dan Gamma dengan aplikasi SPSS IBM 23. Hampir seluruh aspek REACH dilaksanakan dengan frekuensi ’kadang-kadang’ atau ’selalu’. Sebagian besar responden merasa cukup puas (50%) dan puas (30%). Ada hubungan antara komunikasi efektif dengan kepuasan pendonor darah yang signifikan secara statistik (p<0,05). Kata kunci: Komunikasi efektif, kepuasan, donor darah, seleksi donor Abstract Based on World Health Organization (WHO) standards, the minimum blood requirement in Indonesia is around 5.1 million blood bags per year (2% of the population of Indonesia). The availability of blood depends on voluntary blood donation. Donor satisfaction can increase the desire to donate again. It could be related to effective communication. This study aimed to determine the correlation of effective communication measured by REACH (respect, empathy, audible, clarify, humble) aspects and the satisfaction of blood donors in donor selection services at UTD PMI Yogyakarta City. This study used a cross-sectional design with accidental sampling method. Questionnaires were distributed to 30 respondents selected who did blood donation at UTD PMI Yogyakarta City. Data collected were analyzed with Somers and Gamma test using the IBM SPSS 23 application. Most of the REACH aspects were conducted frequently. Half of the respondents were quite satisfied and about 30% were fully satisfied. There was significantly correlation between effective communication and blood donors satisfaction (p<0.05).

Background/Aim. Given that in each country students represent the most progressive population group, as of 2001, the Blood Transfusion Institute of Serbia (BTIS) has been carrying the program of voluntary blood donation promotion and education of volunteers at the University of Belgrade (UB). In 2011, the BTIS intensified all activities at the UB. The aim of this study was to present activities performed from 2001 at the Blood Donors` Motivation Department (DMD) of the BTIS related with increasing the level of awareness on voluntary blood donation in the Belgrade students` population, enhancing their motivation to become voluntary blood donors (VBDs), increasing the number of blood donations at faculties of the UB, and increasing the number of blood donations in the UB students population compared with the total number of blood units collected by BTIS in Belgrade, with the emphasis on the year 2013. Methods. Initially, the applied methodology was based on encouraging students to donate blood through discussions and preparatory lectures, followed by organized blood drives. Appropriate selection of volunteers at each faculty was crucial. Besides their recognisable identity, they had to have remarkable communication skills and ability to positivly affect persons in their environment. The applied principle was based on retention of volunteers all through the final academic year, with the inclusion of new volunteers each year and 1,000 preparatory lectures on the annual basis. The activities were realized using two Facebook profiles, SMS messages and continuous notification of the public through the media. Results. There was an increase in the average number of students in blood drives at the faculties from 2011, when the average number of the students per blood drive was 39, followed by 43 in 2012 and 46 in 2013. The number of students who donated blood in 2013 increased by 21.3% compared with 2012 data. Conclusion. The applied concept highly contributed to generation and retention of future VBDs willing to regularly donate blood in the coming years, with a minimum risk of transmission of transfusion transmissible diseases markers.

Background: The low population-prevalence of trachomatous trichiasis and high prevalence of trachomatous inflammation–follicular (TF) provide contradictory estimates of the magnitude of the public health threat from trachoma in the Solomon Islands. Improved characterisation of the biology of trachoma in the region may support policy makers as they decide what interventions are required. Here, age-specific profiles of anti-Pgp3 antibodies and conjunctival scarring were examined to determine whether there is evidence of ongoing transmission and pathology from ocular Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) infection. Methods: A total of 1511 individuals aged ≥1 year were enrolled from randomly selected households in 13 villages in which >10% of children aged 1–9 years had TF prior to a single round of azithromycin mass drug administration undertaken six months previously. Blood was collected to be screened for antibodies to the Ct antigen Pgp3. Tarsal conjunctival photographs were collected for analysis of scarring severity. Results: Anti-Pgp3 seropositivity was 18% in 1–9 year olds, sharply increasing around the age of sexual debut to reach 69% in those over 25 years. Anti-Pgp3 seropositivity did not increase significantly between the ages of 1–9 years and was not associated with TF (p=0.581) or scarring in children (p=0.472). Conjunctival scars were visible in 13.1% of photographs. Mild (p<0.0001) but not severe (p=0.149) scars increased in prevalence with age. Conclusions: Neither conjunctival scars nor lymphoid follicles were associated with antibodies to Ct, suggesting that they are unlikely to be a direct result of ocular Ct infection. Clinical signs of trachoma were prevalent in this population but were not indicative of the underlying rates of Ct infection. The current World Health Organization guidelines for trachoma elimination indicated that this population should receive intervention with mass distribution of antibiotics, but the data presented here suggest that this may not have been appropriate.

Salt consumption is now much greater than needed for survival. High salt intake increases blood pressure in both animals and humans. Conversely, a reduction in salt intake causes a dose-dependent reduction in blood pressure in men and women of all ages and ethnic groups, and in patients already on medication. The risk of strokes and heart attacks rises with increasing blood pressure, but can be decreased by antihypertensive drugs. However, most cardiovascular disease events occur in individuals with ‘normal’ blood pressure levels. Non-pharmacological prevention is therefore the only option to reduce such events. Reduction in population salt intake reduces the number of vascular events. It is one of the most important public health measures to reduce the global cardiovascular burden. Salt reduction policies are powerful, rapid, equitable, and cost saving. The World Health Organization recommends reducing salt consumption below 5 g per day aiming at a global 30% reduction by 2025. A high potassium intake lowers blood pressure in people with and without hypertension. Its beneficial effects extend beyond blood pressure, and may include a reduction in the risk of stroke (independent of blood pressure changes). Potassium intake in the Western world is relatively low, and a lower potassium intake is associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, especially stroke. A moderate increase in potassium intake, either as supplement or with diet, reduces blood pressure, and the World Health Organization has issued global recommendations for a target dietary potassium intake of at least 90 mmol/day (≥3510 mg/day) for adults.

Objective: The principal aim of the study is to identify the effect of physical exercise and yoga on blood pressure (BP) among children, a common cardiovascular risk factor among children in recent years. Methods: A true experimental design was adopted to find the effect of physical exercise and yoga on selected children with increased BP and weight. The weight was inferred based on the World Health Organization (WHO) chart on body mass index for age. BP and height were measured and interpreted using the WHO height percentile chart for boys/girls and BP references of National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, to identify hypertensive children. Hypertensive children were given physical exercise and yoga, 5 days a week, for 6 months and control group led a normal lives. Results: In the pretest, 100% of the study and control group were prehypertensive. After 3 months of physical exercise and yoga, 21% of study group became normotensive which was significant at p=0.000 and it increased to 93% after 6 months with the significance of p=0.000. The weight and systolic BP (SBP) had a significant positive correlation. The age (p=0.001), number of family members, type of family (p=0.01), mother’s occupation, family history of obesity, and chronic illness among fathers (p=0.05) had a significant association with SBP of the children. Conclusion: The study concluded that physical exercise and yoga reduced childhood hypertension as well as is a cost effective and easily practicable intervention for children to minimize cardiovascular risk during their adulthood.

Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that helps machines learn from observational data without being explicitly programmed and its methods have been found to be very useful in the modern age for medical diagnosis and for early detection of diseases. According to the World Health Organization, 12 million deaths occur annually due to heart-related diseases. Thus, its early detection and treatment are of interest. This research introduces a better way of improving the timely prediction of cardiovascular diseases in suspected patients by comparing the efficiency of two boosting algorithms with four (4) other single based classifiers on cardiovascular official data. The best model was selected based on performances of 5 different evaluation metrics. From the results, Adaptive boosting is seen to outperform all other algorithms with a classification accuracy of 74.2%, closely followed by gradient boosting. However, gradient boosting was chosen as an acceptable technique because it trains faster than Adaboost with a better precision of 74.9% compared to 74.7% exhibited by Adaboost. Thus boosting algorithms are better predictors compared to single based classifiers with factors of age, systolic blood pressure, weight, cholesterol, height, and diastolic blood pressure as the major contributors to the model building.
