...Case Study 2-The Case of Jesica Santillon Effective communication requires messages to be conveyed clearly to the appropriate parties, but along the way there are many communication barriers that can create misunderstandings and misinterpretations of the intended message (Burns, Bradley & Weiner, 2012). Such misunderstandings and misinterpretations are apparent in the case of Jesica Santillon. This case study will identify the social and cultural barriers that may have made it difficult for the doctors to communicate with Jesica’s family. This case study will also offer recommendations to modify the transplant process to ensure that misunderstandings are eliminated or minimized; and lastly it will propose some general communication strategies to manage communication with each group involved in this tragic case. Social and Cultural Barriers to Communication There may have been many communication barriers that hindered the doctors from effectively communicating with Jesica’s family. The language differences may have been a leading obstacle to effective communication between the physicians and the family. The family recently migrated to the United States seeking treatment for Jesica's condition and were not fluent in the English language. Immigrants that lack English skills and familiarity with diagnostic techniques and treatments used in the United States are less likely to receive the care and medical information they need (Freeman, 2013). Health literacy may have...

...The Innocence Project: James Bain Eyewitness identification is the process in which police presents eyewitnesses with a lineup or an array of photos, with the purpose of identifying a suspect ("Eyewitness Identification," 2011). The process of eyewitness identification involves placing the subject or the photo of a subject among others not suspected of committing the crime, in order for the eyewitness to identify the perpetrator ("Eyewitness Identification," 2011). However, research indicates that eyewitness identification is often unreliable due to the human mind’s inability to remember events exactly as it happened ("Eyewitness Misidentification," n.d). As a consequence eyewitness testimony is known to be one of the greatest causes of wrongful convictions nationwide, playing a role in nearly 75% of convictions overturned through DNA testing ("Eyewitness Misidentification," n.d). One of the most notorious cases in the State of Florida regarding eyewitness misidentification is the case of James Bain, who was convicted to life in prison as a teenager in 1974 for raping and kidnapping a nine year old boy. The perpetrator who was described as a 17-18 year old teen with a mustache, bushy sideburns and with the name of “Jimmy” by the victim; was identified by the victim’s uncle as Jimmy Bain ("James Bain," n.d.). As a result of such identification, the uncle who was the assistant principal of the school where Bain studied, provided the police department with a photograph of Bain;...

...newborn (HDN) caused by incompatibilities in the blood groups between the mother and her unborn child during pregnancy. Because of the incompatibility, the mother's immune system may launch an immune response against the red blood cells of the fetus through the placenta, resulting in the destruction of the red blood cells (hemolysis). In the destruction of the red blood cells, the fetus can develop anemia. The red blood cell destruction ranges from mild to very severe, and fetal death from heart failure can occur, as well as life-threatening problems for future pregnancies. The Rhesus system (Rh) blood group antigen is responsible for most of the fatal cases of erythroblastosis fetalis, hence, the term Rh incompatibility disease. However, other alloimmune antigens belonging to the Kell (K and k), Duffy (Fya), Kidd (Jka and Jkb), MNSs (M, N, S, and s), Diego, Xg, P, Ee, Cc antigen systems, as well as other antigens may also produce the disease. Incompatibilities of Landsteiner (A, B and O) blood group systems do not cause erythroblastosis fetalis. A French midwife reported the first case of HDN in a set of twins, in 1609. In 1932, Diamond and colleagues described the relationship of fetal hydrops, jaundice, anemia, and erythroblasts (immature red blood cells) in the blood circulation, a condition later called erythroblastosis fetalis. Levine later determined the cause after Landsteiner and Weiner discovered the Rh blood group system in 1940. In 1953, Chown subsequently...

We need your feedback on how this experiment and virtual lab feels to you as it will help us perceive your experience. Also, a simple note on who you are and what you do in addition will help us put your valuable feedback in context.OK, Got it | | | | Objective: To understand the basic concept of Blood Grouping. Principle: It was in 1901, that Austrian-American immunologist and pathologist Karl Landsteiner discovered human blood groups. Karl Landsteiner's work helps to determine blood groups and thus opened a way for blood transfusions which can be carried out safely. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1930 for this discovery.Death of the patient was the result in most cases before 1900, when blood transfusion was attempted. Blood transfusion was made much safer by the discovery of blood groups, as blood of the same ABO group could be chosen for each patient. However, there were still many cases of unexplained blood transfusion reactions. Biologists still went in search of these unexplained questions.In 1902 the fourth main type, AB was found by Decastrello...

...- is a relationship between two versions of a gene. Individuals receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. If the alleles are different, the dominant allele usually will be expressed, while the effect of the other allele, called recessive, is masked. In codominance, however, neither allele is recessive and the phenotypes of both alleles are expressed. EXAMPLE Do you know your blood type? Blood types are excellent examples of codominance. A person's blood type can be A, B, AB, or O. The letters refer to the type of proteins present in the blood. If a person has the type A protein they have type A blood. If a person has the type B protein they have type B blood. If a person has type O blood then neither protein is present. If a person is type AB then they have both A and B proteins present in their blood. If a person is type A or type B this means that they have the dominant A or dominant B allele present in their blood. All other alleles are masked. If a person is type O it means that neither the type A or type B allele is dominant. However, if a person is type AB this means that both the A allele and the B allele are equally expressed and are therefore codominant. FRANCESSE RAMIREZ FRANCIS...

... which made me have more opportunities to learn more about social problems, social policies and social welfare. But my real interest in volunteering started from the middle of the first semester. I joined a volunteering group in my college called Gaibang. The name Gaibang comes from a popular Chinese kung fu novel. This might probably be the best decision I’ve ever made. The first event I attended after I joined them was the blood drive they held. They worked with the local Red Cross in Zhuhai every semester. It was the first time I knew my blood type was actually AB Rh-negative. The doctor told me Rh-negative is a rare blood type, especially among us Asians. She asked me if I would like to sign up and joined the local organization of rare blood type, I said yes immediately. I almost forgot about this until one night in 2013, I received a call from a local hospital near my home. Someone at the other side of the phone asked if I could go to the hospital at once because a worker had fell from the tubular scaffolding. He was hurt badly and needed blood...

...The Rh factor (ie, Rhesus factor) is a red blood cell surface antigen that was named after the monkeys in which it was first discovered. Rh incompatibility, also known as Rh disease, is a condition that occurs when a woman with Rh-negative blood type is exposed to Rh-positive blood cells, leading to the development of Rh antibodies. Rh incompatibility can occur by 2 main mechanisms. The most common type occurs when an Rh-negative pregnant mother is exposed to Rh-positive fetal red blood cells secondary to fetomaternal hemorrhage during the course of pregnancy from spontaneous or induced abortion, trauma,[1] invasive obstetric procedures, or normal delivery. Rh incompatibility can also occur when an Rh-negative female receives an Rh-positive blood transfusion. In part, this is the reason that blood banks prefer using blood type "O negative" or "type O, Rh negative," as the universal donor type in emergency situations when there is no time to type and crossmatch blood. The most common cause of Rh incompatibility is exposure from an Rh-negative mother by Rh-positive fetal blood during pregnancy or delivery. As a consequence, blood from the fetal circulation may leak into the maternal circulation, and, after a significant exposure, sensitization occurs leading to maternal antibody production against the foreign Rh antigen. Once produced, maternal Rh immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies may cross freely from the placenta to the fetal circulation, where they form antigen-antibody complexes...

...Without them, the poisonous waste remains in the body and we wouldn’t be able to live for more than four days. While we have two kidneys all that we need to live is one; unfortunately when one fails the other usually follows in the same path. Kidney failure is unique because there are so many causes. Potentially anything you do unhealthy to your body can lead to kidney problems. Whether its cigarettes, alcohol abuse, improper diet, drugs, or even just a simple injury can stop the blood flow to the kidney and cause them to fail. This is one of the reasons that kidney failure is so common and dangerous. We speak a lot about being proactive in your health and this is a perfect example. Kidney failure is generally preventable if we go for a regular check up and eat healthy. Just by practicing simple healthy habits we can avoid this terrible disease. The Los Angeles Times reports that thousands die of kidney failure before they even know they have it, because they don’t go for checkups or blood tests regularly. Once...

...| | | | | | | | | RHOGAM 2 | | | | | A mother who is 24 hours postpartum and blood type A Rh-negative is to be given RhoGAM. She tells the nurse that she was already given the RhoGAM when she was pregnant, and wants to know why she needs it again. How does the nurse explain the reason for needing it now and what procedure needs to be followed prior to the administration of the medication? The new mother needs to be advised that it is protocol to be administered RhoGAM if she is Rh-negative and is found not to be sensitized to anti-D antibodies (via indirect Coombs’ test). The RhoGAM “dosage depends on gestation: 50 mcg (microdose) of D immunoglobulin is administered before 13 gestational weeks and 300 mcg is given thereafter (as prophylaxis). During the postpartum period, D immune globulin should be administered within 72 hours” (Kee, Hayes, McCuistion, 2009, p. 867). The nurse can explain in layman’s terms what may happen when an Rh-negative woman bears an Rh-positive child for the first time. She will be told that her body will produce anti-D “antibodies against incompatible Rh-positive blood” (Kee, et. al., 2009, p. 866) and “in later exposure, as with subsequent pregnancies, there is a more rapid IgG (secondary) immune response and increased potential for fetal hemolysis (rupture or destruction of red blood cells) in an Rh-positive fetus” (Kee, et. al., 2009, p. 866). In order to protect the viability of future fetuses, she...

...BLOOD DONATION ANBU 1111711205004 Information Technology ABSTRACT Blood donation is carried out when a person voluntarily agrees for blood to be drawn with the intention of donating it. The donated blood may be used for transfusions or itmay be separated into individual components to be used as required. The latter procedure is called fractionation.Blood donation may be of different kinds. In the developedcountries unpaid donors give blood to replenish a community supply. In economically poorer countries, however, blood donation is carried out according to demand, as the established blood ties are extremely limited. It may be an altruistic act or it may include a cash payment or incentives other than money. A person can have blood drawn and stored for own future use.In 1997, the World Health Organization (WHO) set a target for all blood donors to be unpaid volunteers. But statistics, in 2006, revealed that only 49 of 124 countries surveyed had achieved this target. INTRODUCTION A blood donation occurs when a person voluntarily has blood drawn and used for transfusions and/or made into biopharmaceutical medications by a process called fractionation (separation of whole-blood components). Donation may be of whole-blood or of specific components directly. Blood banks often participate in the collection process as well as the procedures that follow it. DONORS In the developed world, most blood donors are unpaid volunteers (voluntary non remunerated repeat donations...
