Blood groups are determined by the presence or absence of antigens on red blood cells. The two major blood group systems are ABO and Rh. In the ABO system, people are type O, A, B, or AB depending on whether they have the A and/or B antigens. Agglutinins against antigens not present develop in the plasma. Mismatched blood transfusions can cause immediate or delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions. The Rh system involves D antigens; an Rh negative person can form antibodies against Rh positive blood. This can cause erythroblastosis fetalis if the mother is sensitized during pregnancy with an Rh positive baby. Proper blood typing and matching is essential before transfusion to prevent dangerous transfusion reactions.
ABO blood group system was decover by Karal landsteine

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.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

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

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

2. Learning objectives
Classify blood groups
Define Landsteiner's law
Describe Rh incompatibility
Erythroblastosis fetalis,
List indications of blood transfusion
Describe the different transfusion reactions
Describe the method of collection of blood,
storage, changes occurs in blood during storage
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 2
3. Introduction
Antigens are present on the surface of red blood
cells
30 commonly occurring antigens
Hundreds of rare antigens were identified
Two particular type of antigens are important
1. O-A-B system
2. Rh system
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 3
4. O-A-B Blood Types
Two important antigens- type A and type B
They are also called agglutinogens
They cause blood cell agglutination –
transfusion reactions
Major blood groups
1. O – 47%
2. A – 41%
3. B – 9%
4. AB – 3% DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 4
5. O-A-B Blood Types
Classification based on the presence or absence
of the antigens A & B
Neither A nor B present – O group
Only type A present – A group
Only type B present – B group
Both A & B present – type AB
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 5
8. Karl landsteiner- 1930 Nobel Prize for Physiology or
Medicine for his discovery of the major blood groups
and the development of the ABO system
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 8
9. Landsteiner’s laws
The relationship between the agglutionogens on
RBC cells and agglutinins in the plasma is
reciprocal
1. First law: if an agglutinogen is present on the
RBC, corresponding agglutinin must be absent
in the plasma
2. Second law: if an agglutinogen is absent on the
RBC, corresponding agglutinin must be present
in the plasma DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 9
10. Genetic determination of agglutinogens
An allele is a variant form of a gene
ABO blood group genetic locus has three alleles
It means three different forms of same gene
We typically call these alleles as A, B, O
Type O allele is function less – does not cause
significant agglutination
Type A & B – cause strong agglutination
Type O is recessive to both type A & B
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 10
11. Genetic determination of agglutinogens
Each person has two sets of chromosomes
Only one of these alleles is present on each of
the chromosomes
It means three different forms of same gene
Six possible combinations
OO, OA, OB, AA, BB, AB
These combination of alleles is called genotypes
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 11
13. Genetic determination of agglutinogens
Genotype OO produce no agglutinogens – blood
type is O
Genotype OA or AA produce “A” agglutinogens
– Blood group is A
Genotype OB or BB produce “B” agglutinogens
– Blood group is B
Genotype AB produce both “A” and “B”
agglutinogens – Blood group is AB
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 13
14. Agglutinins
When type A agglutinogen is not present in
person’s RBC, antibodies known as anti A
agglutinogens develop in the plasma
When type B agglutinogen is not present in
person’s RBC, antibodies known as anti B
agglutinogens develop in the plasma
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 14
15. Agglutinins
Immediately after birth – quantity of agglutinins
in plasma is almost zero
2-8 months after birth, an infant begins to
produce antibodies
At 8-10 years of age, maximum antibody titer
develops
Gradually decline through out the remaining
years of life
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 15
16. Origin of Agglutinins
Agglutinins are gamma globulins
Produced in bone marrow and lymphoid tissues
Most of them are IgG and IgM molecules
Why these antibodies produces in the person
who do not have respected agglutinogens?
Small amounts of agglutinogens A and B enters
the body via food, some bacteria and initiate
development of agglutinins
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 16
17. Agglutination
When there is mismatched transfusion
Anti A plasma mixed with red cells that contain A
agglutinogen
Agglutinins attach to the RBC
Agglutinins has 2 binding sites (IgG) and 10 biding
sites (IgM) respectively
Single agglutinin can attach more than one RBC at a
time
Clumping of the cells
Agglutination DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 17
18. Agglutination
Agglutinated cells undergoes hemolysis
Agglutinins activates the complement system
Release of lytic enzymes
Rupture RBC cell membrane
Hemolysis of RBC
Release of hemoglobin
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 18
19. Blood typing
Before blood transfusion it is must to determine
1. Blood type of recipient blood
2. Blood type of the donor
3. Matching of the blood
This is called blood typing/ matching
Red cells are separated from plasma
Diluted with saline solution
Mixed with agglutinins anti A and anti B
Observe agglutination occurs or not
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 19
20. Blood typing
Type O has no agllutinogens so they do not form
agglutination with both A and B
Type A has “A” agglutinogen so it form
agglutination with anti-A agglutinin
Type B has “B” agglutinogen so it form
agglutination with anti-B agglutinin
Type AB has “A & B” agglutinogens so it form
agglutination with anti-A and anti-B agglutinins
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 20
22. Rh blood types
Rh blood type system also important when
transfusing the blood
In O-A-B system, the plasma agglutinins
responsible for causing transfusion reactions
develop spontaneously
In Rh system, spontaneous agglutinins almost
never occur
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 22
23. Rh positive & negative people
Six common types of Rh antigens
These types are C,D,E, c,d,e
A person who has “C” antigen, does not have the
“c” antigen
A person missing “C” antigen have “c” antigen
The same is true for D-d and E-e antigens
Each person has one of three pairs of antigens
Type D antigen is most prevalent
Person with D antigen- Rh positive
Person with out type D antigen – Rh negative
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 23
24. Rh immune response
When Rh positive blood infused to Rh negative
person
Anti Rh- agglutinins develops slowly
Maximum concentration reached 2-4 months
later
Multiple exposure to Rh antigens, an negative
person eventually become strongly sensitized to
Rh antigen
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 24
25. Rh transfusion reactions
When Rh positive blood infused to Rh negative person
for the first time
No immediate reaction occurs
Anti Rh-antibodies develops in 2-4 weeks
Agglutination of transfused cells
Hemolysis of cells by tissue macrophages
Delayed transfusion reactions – mild
Second time if Rh negative person is transfused with Rh
positive blood
Immediate and severe transfusion reaction occurs as he
is already immunized against Rh positive antigen
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 25
26. Erythroblastosis fetalis
Hemolytic disease of new born
Rh negative pregnant women
Rh positive father
Rh positive baby in her womb
Rh incompatibility occurs
Disease of fetus and new born child
Characterized by agglutination and hemolysis of fetus RBC
Mother develops anti-Rh antibodies after exposure to fetus Rh
antigens
These agglutinins cross the placenta and enters fetus –
agglutination of RBC
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 26
27. Erythroblastosis fetalis
First child usually not affected
Sensitization to Rh antigen occurs during
parturition of first child
If mother underwent Rh positive blood
transfusion earlier
First child also affected
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 27
28. Incidence of the disease
First child usually not affected
3% of second Rh positive babies exhibit some
signs
10% of third Rh positive babies exhibit the
disease
Incidence raises progressively with subsequent
pregnancies
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 28
29. Effect of mothers antibodies on fetus
Anti Rh-antibodies formed in mother
Diffuse slowly through placental membrane and
enters the fetus blood
Agglutination of RBC
Hemolysis
Release of hemoglobin into blood
Formation of bilirubin
Baby skin become yellow (jaundiced)
Antibodies can also attack and damage other cells
of the body
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 29
30. Clinical picture
Jaundiced, erythroblastic new born is anemic at birth
Rh antibodies from mother keep circulation in the baby
blood for 1-2 months after birth
Destroying more and more RBC
Hemopoietic tissues tries to replace the hemolyzed cells
Rapid production of red blood cells
Many nucleated cells appear in the circulation – blast
cells
That is why this disease called erythroblastosis fetalis
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 30
31. Clinical picture
Jaundiced, erythroblastic new born is anemic at
birth
Usually child die due to severe anemia
Who barely survive anemia exhibit permanent
mental impairment or damage of motor areas of
brain
Because of precipitation of bilirubin in the neuronal
cells
Destruction of neuronal cells
kernicterus DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 31
32. Treatment of neonates
Exchange blood transfusion
Replace neonates blood with Rh negative blood
About 400 ml of Rh negative blood is infused over a period of
1.5 or more hours while neonates own Rh positive blood is
removed
Process repeated several times during first few weeks of life
Mainly to keep bilirubin levels low
To prevent kernicterus
By the time transfused Rh negative blood replaced by neonate
own Rh positive blood (6 or more weeks) , the antibodies from
mother are destroyed
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 32
33. Prevention of erythroblastosis fetalis
Anti-D antibody is administered to the expectant
mother starting at 28-30 weeks of gestation
Anti-D antibody is also administered to the Rh
negative mother soon after delivery to prevent
sensitization
Anti-d antibodies inhibits antigen induced B
lymphocyte antibody production in the mother
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 33
34. Mismatched blood transfusion
Mismatched blood transfusion
RBC in the donar blood are agglutinated
Immediate hemolysis by hemolysins
Late hemolysis from phagocytosis of agglutinated
cells
Transfusion reaction may be hemolytic or non
hemolytic
In hemolytic reaction – hemoglobin released –
formation of bilirubin- excreted in bile
May cause jaundice DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 34
35. Mismatched blood transfusion
Jaundice
Yellowish discoloration of skin and sclera of
eyes
However, if liver functioning normally
Jaundice usually does not appears in an adult
unless more than 400 ml of blood is hemolyzed
in less than a day
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 35
36. Type Cause Clinical features
HEMOLYTIC
Immediate ABO incompatibility Fever, chills, shock,
renal failure
Delayed Rh incompatibility Recurrent anemia, may
be fever
NONHEMOLYTIC
Febrile reaction Contamination of
stored blood with
endotoxin or due to
cytokines that are
released on storage
Fever and chills
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 36
37. Renal failure after mismatched transfusion
Most lethal effects of transfusion reactions
Begins within few minutes to few hours and continue till
the person dies of acute renal failure
Causes
1. Powerful renal vasoconstriction by the toxic
substances released by the hemolyzing RBCS due to
agglutination
2. Decreased RBC – decreased blood – shock – decreased
renal blood flow – decreased urinary output
3. If increase in free hemoglobin in circulation, it leaks and
enters the renal tubules and precipitates – blocks renal
tubules DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 37
38. Free hemoglobin in blood
Normally very small amounts present
Haptoglobin – plasma protein binds with this hemoglobin
If small amounts leaks into renal tubules, it can be
reabsorbed and causes no harm
But if it is in excess amounts, it precipitates in renal
tubules
Blocks renal tubules
Renal failure
If the failure is complete, patient dies in a week to 12
days, unless treated with artificial kidney
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 38
39. Collection of blood for transfusion, storage
and its changes during storage
Typically 450 ml of blood is collected from vein
(antecubital vein)
From a healthy donar who has been screened for
diseases that could be transmitted during
transfusion
Autologous transfusion- donar blood is
transfused back to donar (after surgery)
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 39
40. Collection of blood for transfusion, storage
Blood is collected in a flexible plastic bag
Which already has chemicals in it
Sodium citrate – binds to calcium and prevents
clotting
Phosphate buffer – to buffer the pH of blood and
provides source of phosphate
Dextrose – energy source
Adenine- to provide substrate to ATP synthesis
By using these chemicals, the storage of blood can
be prolonged upto 35 days at 4 degrees centigrade
DR Sai Sailesh Kumar G 40
41. Changes during storage
RBC become spherical due to metabolic changes
Change in cell rigidity of RBCS – los of membrane
