Proper nutrition and rest is advised before and after donating blood.
Cord blood banking involves collecting and storing the blood from the umbilical cord and placenta after a baby is born. This blood contains stem cells that can be used for transplants to treat diseases like leukemia. While there are debates around cord blood banking, it has been used in thousands of successful transplants worldwide to treat over 70 diseases. The process of cord blood collection is simple and poses no risks to mother or baby. Banking cord blood provides a stem cell source for transplants and may help treat more diseases as research continues.
Donating blood provides several benefits:
1) It provides a moral benefit by helping others in need of blood transfusions.
2) It benefits the health of donors by testing their blood and providing a new supply of blood which can help detect diseases.
3) Regular donors can benefit their health and earn money for donations, as some companies offer incentives like food rewards in exchange for donations.
4) Donating blood provides PR benefits for both companies offering incentives and public figures who donate, as it fosters mutually advantageous cooperation.
Automated hematology analyzers can perform complete blood counts through various techniques like impedance, light scattering, and fluorescence. There are two types - semi-automated instruments which require some manual steps, and fully automated instruments which only require inserting a blood sample. Automated analyzers provide precise and rapid results for red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, white blood cell count with differentials, platelet count, and other indices. While automated counts are generally more accurate for normal samples, manual examination of blood smears is still needed when flags are raised.

Type O blood is most often requested by hospitals. While anyone can donate if they are healthy, regular donations are especially important to ensure a safe blood supply. Donating blood is safe and helps save lives.
There are four main blood types - A, B, AB, and O - which are determined by the presence or absence of antigens on red blood cells. The blood type of both the donor and recipient must be compatible to prevent dangerous reactions. Type O blood is the universal donor as it lacks antigens and contains antibodies against A and B antigens. Type AB blood is the universal recipient as it has both A and B antigens and lacks antibodies. The Rh factor must also be considered to ensure transfusion safety.
Blood is composed of plasma, cells, and platelets. It delivers nutrients and oxygen to tissues, collects waste to be removed by organs, and contains white blood cells that fight germs. The circulatory system transports blood throughout the body using arteries from the heart and veins back to the heart.
In this 21st century, Medical Science has progressed in every field but is not successful in preparing Human Blood in a laboratory.
Blood needs to be donated by healthy persons like us. Hence voluntary Blood Donation is a necessity in current Turbulent and Unsafe Society.

Donating blood can save lives in emergency situations like accidents, surgeries, and childbirth complications. It summarizes the need for blood donations in Bangladesh, where only 25% of the required blood supply comes from voluntary donors. Regular blood donation provides health benefits like lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. It also reduces the risks of heart disease and cancer. Before donating, donors are screened and their blood is tested to ensure the safety of the blood supply.
Blood donation refers to the voluntary process of collecting blood and blood components from donors to help people who need transfusions. The purpose is to ensure an adequate blood supply for accident victims, surgery patients, and those with diseases. Blood donation has a long history dating back to ancient times, but modern blood banking began in the 1930s with the establishment of blood banks. Today there are over 2535 licensed blood banks in India that help collect and distribute over 26 million units of blood annually to those in need.
Blood donation involves voluntarily donating blood which is then stored in blood banks for medical use by patients in need. A study assessed the awareness of blood donation among 71 medical students in 2010. It found that most students were aware of blood donation and its importance in saving lives, though some did not donate due to health issues or fear. The study concluded that students had generally good knowledge but should continue to be motivated to donate blood on a regular basis to help address shortages.
Blood Bank is a facility that stores and preserves blood/blood components collected through donations for later use in transfusions. The first blood depot was established in Britain during WWI. Key developments include the first mobile blood bank in 1930s Spain, the first hospital blood bank in Chicago in 1937, and establishment of standards for blood collection/storage. Blood is separated into components like red blood cells and plasma, and stored short or long-term depending on the component. Online blood banks now facilitate donor/recipient matching. Donations are needed to address ongoing scarcity issues.
1. Donor management in blood banks involves strict donor selection through screening, eligibility criteria, and deferral criteria to ensure blood safety.
2. The blood donation procedure includes pre-donation screening, a medical examination, blood collection, and post-donation care and advice.
3. All donated blood is tested for transfusion transmissible infections like HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, and malaria to maintain the highest safety standards.

Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Editor's Notes
I. Imagine your father has just suffered a heart attack and must undergo open-heart surgery in order to repair the damage. II. Imagine your little nephew or niece baby was born with a heart defect and required daily transfusions of blood in order to have a chance at survival. III. Imagine your best friend has just been diagnosed with leukemia, a disease requiring regular transfusions of platelets. IV. Not very nice images are they, but these things happen and unfortunately some of you may even have experienced them already. A. Naturally you'd hope and expect the hospital to have enough raesources to facilitate the return to health, or to prolong their lives, B. And naturally you'd want to do everything in your power to help. V. There is one way you can help, that is by donating blood
