The main purpose of testing prior to transfusion is to provide the most compatible blood to the patient in order to minimize the risk of hemolytic transfusion reactions. The type and screen are the first two tests required as pre-transfusion testing. As the name suggests, these are two tests: “type”- to detect the ABO and Rh type of the patient’s red blood cells and “screen” – to detect the presence of antibody(ies) against RBC antigen(s). Antibody/antigen complex formation is thermal range dependent. Antibodies against RBC antigens are optimally reactive at either warm (at or above body temperature) or cold (below body temperature) thermal amplitudes. Warm antibodies are usually acquired and of IgG type. They react at or above 37C. Cold antibodies are usually naturally occurring and of IgM type. They react below 37C.

What is red cell phenotype?

The phenotype of RBCs (RBC phenotyping) refers to determining the type of antigens present on the RBC. The ABO/Rh type in the 'type and screen' is performed on all patients requiring transfusions. However, an extended antigen phenotype may also be performed.

What is phenotype in blood type?

The “phenotype” of any blood group refers to which antigens are detectable on the RBC, and it usually (though not always) corresponds to the genes that the patient carries. Phenotyping is used in blood banking in four main settings: For blood donors, to determine compatibility for a patient with an alloantibody.

What are the two most common blood phenotypes?

Group B (37.39%) was the most common, followed by group O (31.85%). R1R1 and rr were the most common phenotypes amongst Rh positive and Rh negative groups, respectively. A rare phenotype R2Rz was found in one donor.

Answer:

Phenotyping the patient’s red blood cell antigens corresponding with common antibodies that are cold-reactive is typically performed when the patient has made a cold-reacting antibody. Common scenarios include anti-M a naturally occurring antibody common in children or anti-Lewis a naturally occurring antibody common in pregnancy.

A client is experiencing a sudden fluid shift as a result of diffusion. What variable most affects the rate of substance movemen
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Concentration, Temperature, Mass of Particle, Solvent /medium, surface area and permeability properties of membrane.

Explanation:

The random movement of particles causes the phenomenon called diffusion. The concentration gradients of particles pushes molecules in a direction such that molecules move from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration.

Diffusion is a passive process (not requiring the input of energy).

The following variables are factors that affects diffusion;

Concentration - down concentration gradient favours diffusion.

Temperature - temperature increases diffusion , the kinetic energy associated with each particle also increases. 

Mass/size of Particle - Smaller particles on the other hand will diffuse faster because they can move faster.

Solvent /medium Properties - Viscosity and density of the medium greatly affect diffusion. Highly viscous and dense medium slows down diffusion.

Diffusion can occur through a membrane. The two factors that are particular to diffusion through a membrane are surface area and permeability.

The study found that of the children who slept with a room light on before the age of 2, 55% were myopic. Of the children who sl
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The statement is totally supported in accordance with the data.

Explanation:

As we can see a pattern in the given data where exposure to ambient lightning conditions of Room light, Night light and totally dark environment, the rate of myopia is decreasing gradually according to the above order.

For more accurate results, the study can be made broader by taking in more and more candidates because the more number of data sets we have the more statistically accurate results we'll get.

The sodium/potassium exchange pump uses what method of cellular transpont?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Primary active transport

Explanation:

Active transport may be defined as the movement of particles against their concentration gradient with the help of an energy source like ATP. Two main types of active transport are  secondary active transport and  primary active transport.

Primary active transport includes the sodium potassium pump because it directly uses the stored chemical energy in the form of ATP. Three sodium moves out of the cell and two potassium moves inside the cell with the help of ATP.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

Why do bones become osteoporotic in some people? (What, specifically, is happening in
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Explanation:

The bone is being destroyed by osteoclasts faster than it can be rebuilt by osteoblasts. A lot of factors can contribute but osteoporosis affects mostly post-menopausal women due to their hormone levels
