Guide to Rho(D) Immune Globulin in Women With Molecularly Defined Asian-type DEL (c.1227G & gt;A)
We report that mothers with molecularly defined Asian-type DEL, similar to those with weak D types 1, 2, 3, 4.0, and 4.1, do not require RhIG before and after delivery. Collectively, this review could pave the way for the revision of international guidelines to include the selective use of RhIG based on specific genotypes, particularly in women with the Asian-type DEL.PMID:38384203 | DOI:10.3343/alm.2023.0356 (Source: Annals of Laboratory Medicine)

Evaluating the TaqMan Jr < sup > a < /sup > -Genotyping Method for Rapidly Predicting the Presence of Anti-Jr < sup > a < /sup > Antibodies
CONCLUSIONS: We validated a rapid, simple, accurate, and cost-effective method for predicting the presence of anti-Jra using a TaqMan-based SNP-genotyping assay. Implementing this method in routine practice in clinical laboratories will assist in solving difficult problems regarding alloantibodies to high-prevalence RBC antigens and ultimately aid in providing safe and timely transfusions and proper patient care.PMID:38373791 | DOI:10.3343/alm.2023.0325 (Source: Annals of Laboratory Medicine)

Educational Outcomes and Perception Changes in Medical Students After Visiting a Blood Donation Center
Ann Lab Med. 2024 Feb 20. doi: 10.3343/alm.2023.0355. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEducating primary care physicians about blood donation and transfusion is critical. The Division of Hematology and Oncology at Soonchunhyang University Seoul Hospital in Korea introduced an on-site educational program termed the Blood Donation Center Visiting Program in the clerkship education for final-year medical students. We evaluated the educational outcomes and changes in perception among medical students after the Blood Donation Center Visiting Program based on a survey. The program was implemented from 2021 to 2023. As part of the p...
