Background and objectives COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP) has been used, predominantly in high-income countries (HICs) to treat COVID-19; available data suggest the safety efficacy of use. We sought develop guidance for procurement use CCP, particularly low- middle-income (LMICs) which are lacking. Materials methods A multidisciplinary, geographically representative group individuals with expertise spanning transfusion medicine, infectious diseases haematology was tasked development a...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted blood systems worldwide. Challenges included maintaining supplies and initiating the collection use of COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP). Sharing information on challenges can help improve utilization.A survey questionnaire was distributed to International Society Blood Transfusion members in 95 countries. We recorded respondents' demographic information, impacts supply, CCP use, transfusion demands operational...
Abstract Background Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is an acquired defect of the cellular immunity associated with infection by human virus (HIV). The disease has reached pandemic proportion and been considered a public health concern. This study aimed at analyzing trend HIV/AIDS research in Nigeria. Method We used PUBMED database to conduct bibliometric analysis HIV/AIDS-related Nigeria from 1986 2021 employing “HIV”, “AIDS”, “acquired syndrome”, “Human virus”, “Nigeria” as search...
Enabling universal access to safe blood components should be a key component of every country's national healthcare strategy. This study aimed assess the current status infrastructure and resources transfusion services (BTS) in low- middle-income countries.A cross-sectional survey was designed gather information on donations, components, redistribution, testing quality management systems (QMSs). The distributed International Society Blood Transfusion members between October 2021 November...
Foreign bodies (Fbs) in the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) are common presentations healthcare settings worldwide.
The lack of definitive treatment or preventative options for COVID-19 led many clinicians early on to consider convalescent plasma (CCP) as potentially therapeutic. Regulators, blood centres and hospitals worldwide worked quickly get CCP the bedside. Although response was admirable, several areas have been identified help improve future pandemic management.A multidisciplinary, multinational subgroup from ISBT Working Group tasked with drafting a manuscript that describes lessons learned...
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) uses sophisticated algorithms to “learn” from large volumes of data. This could be used optimise recruitment blood donors through predictive modelling future supply, based on previous donation and transfusion demand. We sought assess utilisation AI establishments (BE) conducted illustrate its use. A BE survey data was disseminated the International Society Blood members. Additional anonymzed were obtained Italy, Singapore United States (US) build models...
In February 2020, Nigeria officially announced its first case of COVID-19. As numbers rose, government-led non-pharmaceutical interventions such as lockdowns, curfews, restrictions on mass gatherings and other physical distancing measures ensued, negatively affecting blood donor mobilisation activities.We aimed to assess the service activities across 17 National Blood Service Commission (NBSC) centres in Nigeria, including number donations, mobile drives, units screened, screening outcomes,...
Abstract Background and Objectives The use of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) convalescent plasma (CCP) in the treatment patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome‐2 infection has been controversial. Early administration CCP before hospital admission offers a potential advantage. This manuscript summarizes current trials early explores feasibility this approach different countries. Materials Methods A questionnaire was distributed to International Society Blood Transfusion (ISBT)...
Nigeria is widely recognized as contributing a major proportion of the global burden diseases. The majority her population reside in rural areas and belong to informal workforce that largely untouched by government’s National Health Insurance Scheme, leaving universal health coverage for Nigeria’s citizens dream still far from realization. sector thus plagued with myriad inequities inefficiencies, many individuals families impoverished catastrophic expenditures out their pockets. A...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic affected blood supplies globally. Mobile drive campaigns halted, and voluntary donations reduced, challenging available supplies. Furthermore, fears of virus transmission led to deferrals elective surgeries non-urgent clinical procedures with noticeable declines in transfusions.We aimed assess the effect COVID-19 on number transfusions across country by product type various hospital departments.A retrospective descriptive study was conducted...
We report our first case of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection with hepatitis B co-infection who presented fever, catarrh, headaches, fatigue, and loss smell. He had a history chronic which appeared to be inactive given normal outpatient liver tests prior admission for COVID-19. Following the positive nasopharyngeal polymerase chain reaction diagnosis COVID-19, function revealed evidence elevated bilirubin enzymes deranged full blood count findings.
Abstract Background and Aims Community acquired Acute kidney injury (AKI) leads to poor outcomes in low middle-income countries due delayed diagnosis however its epidemiology is poorly studied lack of biochemical diagnosis. Supported by the International Society Nephrology, we evaluated accuracy point care creatinine (POC Cr) technology using capillary samples [1] use implementing a clinical algorithm select patients at risk AKI for POC Cr testing Hospital Emergency Department Port Harcourt...
<title>Abstract</title> Background Post-sexual-based violence (SBV) services are imperative when it comes to attenuating SBV-induced consequences. These reportedly rare, and often underutilized, most especially by young women in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study aimed explore the barriers facilitators accessing post-SBV among (18–24 years) attending higher education institutions Nigeria. Methods An online survey using a pre-tested validated questionnaire was administered purposive sample of 114...
This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of transfusion transmissible parasites among intending blood donors in Our Lady Apostles (OLA) hospital Jos, Jos North Local Government Area Plateau State. Blood is a lifesaving medical intervention. Still, it also risks transmitting infectious such as Plasmodium spp, Trypanosoma cruzi, Babesia Leishmania and Toxoplasma gondii. The transmission parasitic organisms through relatively rare. because there are strict checkpoints at every step...

It has been about a year since the sustainable development goals came into effect, and countries have had to adopt sustainability agenda. Leaving millennium their emphasis behind chart new course focusing on integrating strengthening health systems would require innovative strategic thinking at country global level, in addition harnessing potential for multiple inter-sectoral collaborations success. Despite adoption of agenda post-2015, achievements must still be leveraged lessons learnt...
