This cross sectional study was done at department of Transfusion Medicine in Community Based Medical College (CBMCB) to know the Prevalence of ABO blood group and Rh group systems among the students selected for admission into CBMCB. Sample size was 555. Male female ratio was 67:33 with mean age was ±19 years. Maintaining aseptic precaution blood samples were collected by venepuncture with disposable syringe without anticoagulant. Antigen-antibody agglutination test was done in slide method for ABO and Rh(D) blood grouping by mixing individual blood sample with Anti A, Anti -B, Anti-D human antisera. Results were taken by visually and under microscope in low power. Blood group differs person to person due to genetically determined antigen. This study showed highest frequency of blood group B (33.5%) followed by O (32.5 %), A (23.37%) and AB (10.63%) in ABO system and In Rhesus system, frequency of Rh-positive was 97.12% and Rh-negative was 2.88%. Results were comparable with different foreign studies. Fair blood grouping assist the safe blood transfusion and reduce the morbidity and mortality considerably.

Introduction: The development of anti-RBC antibodies (alloantibodies and/or autoantibodies) can significantly complicate transfusion therapy, particularly in patients needed repeated transfusion. Objectives: To find out the prevalence of alloantibodies and autoantibodies in repeatedly transfused patients so that serious hazards due to immune reaction may be avoided. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in Department of Immunology, BIRDEM and Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) during the period of July 2015 to June 2016. Total 370 patients who had received at least five units of transfusions were enrolled in this study but known patients of auto immune haemolytic anaemia, patients in whom antibody was previously detected and pregnant women were excluded from the study. Blood grouping and Direct Anti-globulin Test (DAT) were performed with cell suspension using a poly-specific Coombs reagent. In cases of a positive DAT, further investigation using specific monoclonal reagents to detect IgG or a complement (C3d) was carried out. Serum was used to detect red cell alloantibodies using standard blood bank methods. Antibody identification was performed in antibody screening positive samples using red cell Identicells. Results: Maximum 132 (35.7%) patients were in the age group 1-10 years. The male-female ratio was 1.2:1. Among 370 total patients 290 were HHA and 80 were non-HHA. Antibody was detected in only 17(4.59%) patients. Among the Hereditary Haemolytic Anaemia (HHA) patients it was 11 (3.79%) but among the non-HHA patients it was 6(7.5%). Out of 8 auto-antibodies, 5 were anti IgG followed by 3 were anti C3d. Out of 14 alloantibodies, 4(28.6%) were anti E, 3(21.4%) were anti K and in 3(21.4%) cases specificity of alloantibody was not detected. Conclusion: Prevalence of anti-RBC antibodies was not so uncommon in multiple transfused patients. Journal of Armed Forces Medical College Bangladesh Vol.14(1) 2018: 73-77

This is an observational cross-sectional study aiming to identify the distribution patterns of ABO and Rh-D blood group in a rural population of Bagerhat District, Bangladesh in order to promote social awareness and safe blood transfusion among the population. After proper ethical consideration, a total of 164 people of a village in Bagerhat District were included in this study. They were selected irrespective of age and sex by systematic random sampling. ABO and Rh-D blood groups were determined by the antigen antibody agglutination test of slide method. The ABO group distribution, O (34.1%), A (26.2%), B (25.6% and AB (14.0%). Of the respondents, 105 (64.0%) were male and 59 (36.0%). The frequency of group O+ve comprised the highest (32.9%) of the samples followed by group A+ve, B+ve and AB+ve. The majority of the subjects were Rh-D positive (94.5%). It is observed that Rh-D positive group is more common in subjects with O group whereas Rh-D negative group is more common in B group. Most common blood group among this village population was O+ve which can safely be transfused to any other group. The study of blood grouping can generate database and create social awareness about self-blood grouping and safe blood transfusion among the population.Mediscope Vol. 2, No. 1: 2015, Pages 22-26

Introduction: Dermatoglyphic study is undoubtedly the most reliable, convenient and acceptable method of individual identification since the fingerprint pattern persist same throughout the life and no two individ­ual has similar pattern. Both blood group and dermatoglyphic pattern have genetic inheritance so an attempt has been made to analyze their correlation with gender and blood group of an individual. Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out in 200 students (105 male and 95 female), aged 17to 27 years, with prior knowledge of their blood group, of Gandaki Medical College, Pokhara, Nepal. The finger­print patterns of both hands were recorded and patterns were observed. Results: Loop was the most common pattern registering 51.8% followed by whorls, arches and composite in both genders. Frequency of loop was higher in both male and female. Frequency of whorl was comparative­ly higher in male (41.3%) compared to female (38.8%). Similarly arch was more common in female (9.89%) than in male (5.05%).Frequency of loop was highest in all blood groups in both male and female; followed by whorls, arches and composite. Both loops and whorls were highest in individual with O+ blood group. Arch was found to be highest in B+ subjects. Conclusion: There was no significant association between distribution of fingerprint patterns, blood group and gender and thus prediction of gender and blood group of a person is not possible based on his finger­print pattern.

This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to explore the status of professionalism regarding knowledge, attitude and practice among intern doctors of different medical college Hospitals in Bangladesh. Study period was July 2015 June 2016.Sample size was 300 and convenient sampling technique was adopted. Study was carried out among all Bangladeshi intern doctors of 4 governments and 2 non-governments selected medical college Hospitals of Dhaka and outside Dhaka. Total 300 intern doctors responded to a self-administered questionnaire. Male female ratio was almost 1:1. Concept of professionalism and level of knowledge regarding its various aspects are not satisfactory in large extends. But attitude towards most of the major principles of professionalism are as much as positive like USA and UK physicians. However, regarding honesty with patients, one statement like physicians should disclose all significant medical errors to affected patients and/or guardians, only 36.9% agreed with this. Similarly, only 43% agreed the statement of re-certification examination to maintain professional competence. Regarding attitude and practice of major attributes & responsibilities of professionalism there is no significant difference (p>0.05) between male and female intern doctors working in different medical college hospitals; but regarding practice there is a significant difference (p<0.05) among intern doctors working in government and non-government hospitals. This study recommended that institutional agreement should be on a definition, setting expectations & curriculum framework regarding professionalism to increase scope of teaching & learning in our undergraduate & post-graduate students.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Education Vol.7(2) 2016: 17-22

Abstract Background Road traffic accident (RTA) is the eighth leading cause of death worldwide. Motorcycle-associated head injury is the leading cause of road traffic associated morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Even though the incidence and mortality of head injury from motor cycle crash is on the increase in developing countries, especially in the African continent, most of the studies published in the literature on this subject matter took place in the developed Western countries. Methods This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of data from patients managed in our institution between December 2014 and November 2016. Results One hundred and eighty-four patients were analyzed. None of the patients used safety helmet for protection. The mean age was 27.6 ± 17.2 years with male female ratio of 6.7:1. Lone crash by cyclists and collisions accounted for 66.8% and 33.1% of the cases, respectively. Passengers and riders comprised 75% of the patients, while 25% were vulnerable pedestrians. The most frequently abused substance by the patients was tramadol (65.52%). Severe head injury and pupillary abnormality were found in 23.9% and 45.5% of the patients, respectively. Cranial CT scan showed abnormalities in 40.2% of the patients. Surgery was done in 28.3% of the patients with mortality rate of 20.7%. Conclusions The use of motorcycle as a mean of transportation has caused significant negative impact on the society. Young people, who constitute the workforce, are majorly affected, and this invariably leads to a serious economic burden on the concerned families and communities.

Introduction: Primary Central Nervous System (CNS) tumours constitute less than 2% of overall cancers in adults and are the second most frequently encountered tumours in children. Meningiomas form 24-30% of primary intracranial tumours. Most intrinsic brain tumours are soft and gelatinous in consistency, smear preparation can readily made which gives excellent cytological details when compared to frozen section as the latter produces ice crystal artifacts. Aim: To assess the diagnostic utility of squash cytological evaluation of meningiomas and its comparison with final histopathological diagnosis. Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional study was done at Thanjavur Medical College, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, India for period of three years from January 2015 to December 2017. Total of 54 clinically diagnosed and radiologically suspected case of meningiomas were selected. Smears were prepared from the biopsy samples sent in normal saline and stained by Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) method. The cytological features were noted and matched with biopsy findings. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the results. Results: Total of 54 squash smears with male to female ratio was 1:1.5. Maximum number of cases were seen between 41- 50 years followed by 51-60 years. Complete concordance was obtained in 51 cases (94.44%) and partial concordance was noted in a case due to underestimation of malignancy grade in squash cytology. Out of 54 cases, two cases were found to be discordant with final histopathological diagnosis. Conclusion: Intraoperative squash cytology is easy, rapid, reliable and cost-effective technique for neurosurgical consultation with fairly high accuracy in diagnosing meningiomas.
