The accurate grouping of blood is very important when it comes to having a blood transfusion. If blood is given to a patient that has a blood type that is incompatible with the blood type of the blood that the patient receives, it can cause intravenous clumping in the patient's blood which can be fatal. The patient’s body can start producing antibodies that attack the antigens on the blood cells in the blood that was given to the patient, causing reaction and rejection.

For example, a patient who is blood group B has naturally occurring Anti-A antibodies in their blood plasma. If this (blood group B) patient receives blood group A red cells, the Anti-A antibodies in the plasma of the patient will cause the blood group A red cells to clump intravenously (within the veins), which is life threatening.

Yes, providing the same blood type in a blood transmission is very important because it can lead to severe reactions and causes you body to form antibodies to attack the new blood cells.

Answer:

The status of women in Nepal remains very poor in terms of health, education, income, decision-making, and access to policy making. Patriarchal practices, which control these women's lives, are reinforced by the legal system. Women face systematic discrimination, particularly in rural areas.

Any way of fixing loss of appetite without going to the doctors? Been dealing with it since I've gotten constipated.
katrin [286]
Like I’ve recommended before, try taking detoxifying drinks that usually include lemon or ginger, honey and sometimes apple cider vinegar but that should be taken in moderation. Also , if you need to use the restroom I suggest incorporating lots of fiber and protein in your diet . As well as drinking warm drinks to help with digestion.
Tea isn’t that hard to get , you can find it at the dollar store most likely.

Try eating smaller meals but more than 3 meals separated throughout the day with all the food groups and drink something in between meals . and like I said incorporate every part of wellness possible including exercising and taking care of your mental health. I’m not saying these just to say it , these are things scientifically proven to mess with your appetite if they’re not taken care of.

It’s annoying getting your health back together but you need to be open minded and aware of what your body is lacking , because unfortunately all those parts of wellness can affect each other. Mental health can affect physical health, or vice versa and exercising benefits both.

There’s also diet apps that might be helpful as well

Children will most likely gain 4-6 pounds each year until
balu736 [363]
The answer is letter A.

Children will most likely gain 4-6 pounds each year until the end of puberty. Both males and females experience puberty, because this is the turning point of a human body's growth which makes reproduction and the continuity of species possible. Males tend to have reached the peak of their puberty at the age of 25 while females reach the end of theirs between ages 21-24.
