Indications for Blood Transfusions Goal of transfusing: Preserve oxygen delivery to tissues and avoid myocardial ischemia. One can do this by increasing the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood by raising the Hgb concentration of patients with acute/chronic anemia. Each unit will raise the Hct by 3 to 4 percent unless there is continued bleeding. Background: Transfusion trigger based on the 10/30 rule‚ give 2 units. However‚ with the discovery of transfusion-related HIV and other viral diseases‚ the safety

Celiac disease: an often missed diagnosis Commonly referred to as wheat allergy‚ celiac disease is not an allergic disorder; rather it is actually intolerance to gluten‚ a protein in wheat. It is also known as celiac sprue‚ nontropical sprue and gluten-sensitive enteropathy. Celiac disease occurs in people who have a genetic susceptibility. It was considered a north European disease initially but now it has a high prevalence in all the continents. In north- India it affects 1 in 200-300 individuals

The Shiga toxin comprises a family of related protein toxins produced by bacteria Shigella dysenteriae. The bacteria S. dysenteriae was discovered by Japanese bacteriologist Kiyoshi Shiga in 1898. Shiga studied 36 patients at the Institute for Infectious Diseases (Tokyo‚ Japan) and isolated a bacterium from the intestinal tissue of dysentery patient. Bacterial isolates were cultured and fed to dogs; that resulted in dysenteric disease (Shiga‚ 1898). Shigella belongs to enterobacteriaceae bacterial
