This document summarizes the ABO blood grouping system. It describes how Karl Landsteiner discovered the A, B, and O blood groups in 1901. The system is based on the presence or absence of antigens called agglutinogens on red blood cells. People have antibodies against the agglutinogens that are not present on their own red blood cells. The genes that determine the ABO blood groups are located on chromosome 9 and are inherited according to Mendelian genetics. Blood type is determined by mixing blood cells with antisera that cause agglutination based on the antigens present.
• A blood group also called a Blood Type.
• Classification of blood is based on the presence or absence
of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood
cells (RBCs).
• These antigens may be proteins, carbohydrates,
glycoproteins, or glycolipids, depending on the blood group
system.
ABO blood group system was decover by Karal landsteine
which contain A, B, and o antigen on the surface of BC, WBC,s platatelet and other body tissue cells except brain cell, and anti A, antiB and Anti Ab natural occuring antibodies in plasma of B,A, and O blood group individual respectively

A blood type (also called a blood group) is a classification of blood based on the presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). These antigens may be proteins, carbohydrates, glycoproteins, or glycolipids, depending on the blood group system.
The Compatibility can be determined by matching the different blood group systems, such as ABO and Rh system, and/or by directly testing for the presence of antibodies against a sample of donor tissues or blood.
The main purpose of this test is to distinguish the appearance of antibodies in the recipient against the red blood cells of the donor. These antibodies can be found on the surface of red blood cells of the donor after transfusion.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

3. Introduction
• In 1901 Karl Landsteiner published his
discovery of a blood group system and he
grouped red cells into three categories; A,B
and O
• A fourth blood group , AB was discovered later
by Decastello and Sturli.
• Based on the type of antigen present or
absent, various blood grouping systems are
known
4. Classification
• Major blood grouping systems:
- ABO blood grouping system
- Rh (CDE) blood grouping system
• Minor blood grouping systems:
- MNS blood group system
- P blood group system
• Familial blood group systems:
- Only in a few families. Ex: Kell, Duffy, Lutheran,
Lewis, Deigo, Kidd etc.
5. Agglutinogens and Agglutinins
• Agglutinogens refer to antigens present on the
cell membranes of RBCs
• Agglutinins: antibodies against the
agglutinogens, are present in plasma
• Approximately 300 red cell antigens have now
been identified
• 18 blood group systems have been recognized
7. Landsteiner law
• If an agglutinogen is present on the red cell
membrane of an individual the corresponding
agglutinin must be absent in the plasma
• If an agglutinogen is absent from the cell
membrane of RBCs of an individual, the
corresponding agglutinin must be present in
the plasma
8. ABO blood grouping system
• It was the first to be recognized and most
important
• Based on the presence of antigens called A and B
agglutinogens on the cell membrane of RBCs
• H antigen is also present usually in all individuals
but it is non- antigenic
• Almost everybody over the age of 6 months has
clinically significant anti-A and/or anti-B in their
serum
9. ABO antigens
• A,B and H antigens are glycoproteins and the differences in
terminal sugars determine the specificity of these antigens
L- fucose for H
L- fucose + N- acetyl-D- galactosamine for A
L- fucose + D- galactose for B
• 15 amino acids make up the protein backbone and four
sugars form side chains off this backbone
• A & B antigens are also present in many other tissues like
salivary glands, pancreas, kidneys, liver, lungs and testis and
in body fluids like saliva, semen and amniotic fluid
• H antigen- non antigenic
10. α- L – fucosyl transferase produced by H gene, attaches fucose and
yields H activity (group O)
α –N- acetyl- galactosaminyl transferase produced by A gene transfers
N-acetylgalactosamine and results in A activity
α- galactosyl transferase produced by B gene attaches galactose and
confers B activity
11. • Expression of ABH antigens on red cells is
controlled by genes that reside at two loci
• ABH antigens results from action of enzymes
(tranferases) on the appropriate precursor
substance
• The substrate is a product of H gene
(chromosome 19) and converted to A or B by
the action of A or B- transferases
(chromosome 9)
12. Variants of A and B antigens
• The principal sub groups of A are A1 and A2
• A1 constitute 80% of those in gp A
• A1 individuals agglutinated by Dolichos
biflorus lectin but not agglutinated by anti-H
lectin, Ulex europaeus
• A2 individuals are agglutinated by Ulex
europaeus
• Variants of B are less common, but are
recognized
13. ABO antibodies
• Individuals develop antibodies or agglutinins against A or B
antigen missing from their red blood cells
• Anti A /α agglutinin and Anti B/β agglutinins are present in
the plasma
• O people also possess an antibody referred to as anti-A,B
which reacts with either A or B red blood cells
• Bacteria with similar sugar moieties that confer A,B and H
reactivity provide antigenic stimulus
• Anti A and anti B are globulins of IgM type
• In individuals in O group, antibodies are of both IgM and
IgG classes
• α and β agglutinins act best at low temperature ( 5- 20
degrees Celsius) and are called as cold antibodies
14. • Two kinds of Anti-H also exist – Oh (Bombay)
group and other in group A1 and A1B
individuals
• ‘Bombay’ blood is very rare but the antibody
is active at 37 degree Celsius and only
‘Bombay’ blood can be transfused
15. Types of ABO blood groups
• Group A: A agglutinogen - B agglutinin
-A1 and A2 sub groups
• Group B: B agglutinogen- A agglutinin
• Group AB: A and B agglutinogen
- A1B and A2B sub groups
• Group O: both anti A and anti B in plasma
16.
17. ABO inheritance
• The inheritance pattern of ABO genes follows
Mendalian autosomal genetics
• Four major alleles are located at the ABO locus on
chromosome 9
• 6 common phenotypes described- A1, A2,B,
A1B,A2B and O
• Most blood group genes are co-dominant (A and
B)
• O gene is a silent allele or amorph, with no
obervable expression
18.
19. Co dominance: A state in which two diffrent alleles are
equally expressed
Silent genes or amorphs: those with no observable
expression
20. Determination of ABO blood grouping
• ABO blood group can be
determined by mixing one drop of
suspension of red cells with
a drop each of anti serum A
and antiserum B seperately on
a glass slide
• Anti serum A will cause agglutination of RBCs having
antigen A and anti serum B will cause agglutination
of RBCs having B antigen
