Time to Draw the tail of the... ![]() FlirtyKaren: softwerk: newyorks: benzics: Heavance: hopefulLandlord:Long-term survival after blood transfusion. Vamvakas EC Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota. Taswell HF Look-back investigations of populations of patients admitted to major tertiary-care hospitals in the 1980s found a 2-year posttransfusion mortality rate in excess of 50 percent. To quantify the association of blood transfusion with mortality in a more broadly based population, a cohort of all residents of a United States county who underwent transfusion in 1981 was studied. Retrospective cohort study comprised 802 county residents. Complete follow-up (until death or for 10 years) was available on 93.9 percent. The median length of survival was 95.0 (+/- 2.5) months. Twenty-four percent of patients died within 1 year after the transfusion, 30 percent within 2 years, 40 percent within 5 years, and 52 percent within 10 years. The relative risk of death within 10 years increased by 4.1 percent per unit of red cells (p < 0.0001), by 1.2 percent per unit of platelets (p = 0.0003), and by 7.3 percent per unit of fresh-frozen plasma (p = 0.0018) received in 1981, after adjustment for the effects on mortality of age, gender, and number of days of hospitalization in 1981. CONCLUSION: Receipt of a blood transfusion can be used as a descriptive epidemiologic index of morbidity in the general population, as it is independently predictive of mortality, adding to the predictive value of age, gender, and previous hospitalization. There is a dose-response relationship between the amount of blood components received and a reduction in the subsequent length of survival. However, when a county's entire population is studied, posttransfusion mortality due to underlying disease is substantially lower than that previously reported in look-back investigations.

BLOOD V: Will this happen with non blood medical management MOBARA, Japan, Dec. 21 (UPI) -- A 92-year-old woman died in Mobara, Japan, after receiving a transfusion of a wrong blood type after a nurse mixed her name with another patient. A nurse at a public hospital in the Chiba prefecture mixed up the blood type of the woman who was type O with a man with the same surname who had type A blood, the Mainichi Daily News reported. Nagao Hospital officials apologized to the woman's family, reported the case to the police and promised to ensure such a mishap would not be repeated. Hospital officials said the woman was hospitalized Dec. 17 for a broken leg and underwent surgery Friday. After the operation she was given the transfusion. Her condition subsequently worsened and she died after her internal organs failed. |
BLOOD IV: Something may go fatally wrong even if we complied with the stringent transfusion protocol and guidelines Man dies after blood transfusion reaction A Tuen Mun Hospital patient has died after suffering a rare, major blood transfusion reaction. The 52-year-old man was admitted for a red-cell blood transfusion on January 3. After two hours of transfusion he went into shock with severe shortness of breath and a drop in blood pressure. He was transferred to the intensive care unit, and died at 2:16am today. Secretary for Food & Health Dr York Chow expressed his sincere condolences to the patient's family. He said he is concerned about the case and has instructed an independent expert panel to try every means to track down the likely contamination source, and examine the blood collection, donation and administration procedures to minimise future risks. The hospital will keep in close communication with the patient's family and render all necessary support. The case will be referred to the Coroner. The hospital has confirmed the staff conducting the transfusion complied with the stringent transfusion protocol and guidelines. It also confirmed the blood being transfused had been stored and handled properly. Laboratory tests found the Pseudomonas fluorescens bacterium in the patient's blood and the blood bag. Further tests are underway. The hospital said the case was a rare blood transfusion reaction and involved no staff or system error. It has formed an expert panel chaired by Hong Kong University Prof KY Yuen to investigate the case and submit a report to the Hospital Authority. The authority has reminded public hospitals and staff to ensure strict compliance of transfusion procedures. The Blood Transfusion Service will review blood-collection procedures, screening and dispatching, and will remind frontline staff to strictly observe transfusion guidelines and report irregularities. |
BLOOD III: Medically safe but something may go fatally wrong Man, 84, Dies After Blood Transfusion Error at Brooklyn Hospital (Patients' blood is being sent elsewhere for testing while officials investigate) Officials say an 84-year-old patient died after getting a transfusion of the wrong blood type at a Brooklyn hospital. The city's Health and Hospitals Corp. said the patient died at Coney Island Hospital on June 9. The hospital's lab misidentified the patient's blood type, according to the Daily News. The state Health Department has ordered the city-run hospital to send patients' blood elsewhere for testing. In a statement, the HHC said "our deepest condolences go out to the family." According to the News, such errors typically occur in about one of every 14,000 transfusions. |
BLOOD II: Very useful but their are medically acceptable choices available Case Study: Transfusion-Free Leukemia Treatment The treatment of leukemia may be one of the only exceptions to the general rule at USC that all patients can be cared for bloodlessly. The effects of chemotherapy on the bone marrow are such that blood counts almost always plummet, requiring the use of blood products to keep the patient alive. Although little can be done for leukemia patients who cannot or will not accept blood transfusions, says Alexandra M. Levine, M.D., professor and chief of hematology and medical director of the USC/Norris Cancer Hospital, at USC these patients are allowed to make a choice. And that choice is respected. “Our view is that if a person for religious or other reasons will not take blood transfusions, and still understands the risk of chemotherapy, then we will be happy to help them,” says Levine. “Some have survived and some have not. But they have the choice here.” In addition, scientists are continuing to look into ways to turn even this one exception around, to be able to treat leukemia bloodlessly. And they’ve begun to find their way, least in the treatment of one condition called acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). “There is a drug called all-transretinoic acid that often can treat APL without the need for a transfusion,” notes Dan Douer, M.D., director of the Bone Marrow Transplant Program at the USC/Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center. “We treated a Jehovah’s Witness patient with APL using an experimental intravenous form of this medication, and she entered into a complete remission for three years before relapsing.” Douer then treated the patient with another experimental drug called arsenic trioxide. Again the patient went into remission — without the need for blood products. “This is a revolution in the treatment of leukemia, because both drugs are not chemotherapy agents,” Douer says. “You can’t treat leukemia without blood products, but APL is one form of cancer that responds to this medication.” University of Southern California Transfusion-free Surgery and Patient Blood Management Program Office/General Information line: Phone: (323) 442-5261 E-mail: TFSPBMinfo@med.usc.edu |
BLOOD I: Very useful but NOT the Almighty Transfusions kill patients, say doctors @jeremylaurance Thursday 11 February 1999 00:02 GMT 1. BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS given routinely to tens of thousands of critically ill patients may be killing them, doctors have found. Canadian researchers have found that giving extra blood, despite its essential role in maintaining life, can cause more harm than good in those who have been thought in greatest need of it. 2. The unexpected finding, from a study of more than 800 critically ill patients, will deliver a serious blow to the idea of accident victims being stretchered into hospital with a bag of life-giving blood suspended above them. 3. Doctors had assumed that any means of boosting oxygen supply to the body's tissues in those who were seriously ill would improve their chances of survival. But the Canadian research shows that critically ill patients who received more blood were up to twice as likely to die as those who received less. 4. In Britain, an estimated 800,000 patients receive blood transfusions each year, most after routine surgery, and demand for blood is rising. Using less blood would also save costs and conserve a scarce resource. 5. The aim of a transfusion is to restore levels of haemoglobin, the oxygen- carrying constituent of red blood cells. Normal levels of haemoglobin range from 14 to 17 grams per decilitre. In the Canadian study, half of the 838 seriously unwell patients were given enough blood to raise their haemoglobin over 10 grams per decilitre, while the other half were restricted to only 7-9 grams per decilitre, half the normal level. One third of the restricted group received no blood at all. 6. On average the restricted group received three units of blood (one and a half litres) less than the unrestricted group - but more of them survived. Among patients under 55 and the less severely ill, those who received less blood (or no blood at all) were half as likely to die as those who received more. The only exceptions were patients with heart attacks and unstable angina (chest pain). 7. Dr Paul Hebert and his colleagues from the University of Ottawa say in the New England Journal of Medicine: "Our findings indicate that the use of a threshold ... as low as 7 grams of haemoglobin per decilitre ... was at least as effective as and possibly superior to a liberal transfusion strategy ... in critically ill patients." 8. It is well-known that giving too much blood or other infusions can cause heart attacks or water on the lungs because of the effort required to pump the extra liquid round the body. But the researchers found these factors could not explain the differences they found. 9. In a commentary on the findings, Wesley Ely and Gordon Bernard of the Vanderbilt School of Medicine, Nashville, say it is difficult to explain the harm caused by liberal transfusion. One possibility is that a transfusion, like a transplant, delivers a shock to the immune system. "Harmless" viruses in the blood may also be implicated. 10. They say more trials are needed to determine the best treatment for critically ill patients. "With such knowledge, more physicians will be able to adhere to the dictum `first do no harm', and we will have a surplus of blood for transfusion rather than a shortage." |
[quote author=Hairyrapunzel post=53757948][/quote]The number of blood transfusion yearly are in millions. Blood is given in fractions these days not whole blood you hardly give whole blood. Do you know you resuscitate using fluids before you use blood? Most people get to survive before even needing a blood transfusion. When you need it you need it no alternative will work.I said when you need a blood transfusion and you choose to die instead of taking it and you die you killed yourself which is sucide. You even lied to drive home your point that blood transfusion increased risk of heart disease. You didnt even read the write up you just took the heading. LIAR LIAR LET ME GIVE SOMETHING TO GLOAT ABOUT BECAUSE YOU'VE RUN OUT OF STEAM. The following arguments based on work of those who should know; Blood is a profitable business for hospitals (and the Red Cross), just like anti-retroviral drugs in the hands of big drug and pharmaceutical companies. In such instances hospitals tend to be reluctant to consider alternatives. But you would NOT know ![]() With about 2, 827 hospitals providing comprehensive bloodless medicine and surgery programs in the U.S.A, and only 127 hospitals in 31 mostly northern states of the U.S - 53 of which are only in 5 states - leaving only a few in other countries in the entire world, it is easy to see why Christians may find it challenging to get the care they want and need. If there were bloodless medicine and surgery programs in every hospital in the world, do you really think there would be anywhere near so many casualties among Christians? Of course not, because they would be getting the care we need when we need it. So there are evil people like you, who turn the word of God and it commandments upside - down and gleefully condemn any who may want to to obey them, by making sure that use whatever is in their power ridicule, oppress, deny and to cause HATE. But you would NOT know ![]() My point is there are cases where only blood transfusion will work. At least you have agreed that blood transfusion has helped people not only soldiers in war you don't have to be a soldier before blood transfusion. If soldiers are human beings other people are human beings too. The scriptures did not say blood transfusion. The scriptures have been in existence for thousands of years. Blood transfusion has been for centuries. But blood transfusion ban has been si ce 1945. So it is a man made doctrine. When it comes to saving lives you don't need what is not in the scriptures. So now blood transfusion is materialism lol. Life is very important Saying people should kill themselves over a law not in the bible is wickedness and shows you have no conscience for human life. SHAME SHAME SHAME. Not only have people died so many people have still survived. Nobody is saying technology is not helpful. There are situations when you will require blood transfusion. People have benefited from technology. You cant compare an underdeveloped country to a developed country. You die from refusal of blood transfusion doesn't guarantee you eternal life. Those dead souls had a chance to live but chose to die as a result of a man made belief. People bomb places and human beings on religious grounds so we should applaud them. No religion has a right to impose that kind of belief on anyone. Any religion that imposes a ban on a medical procedure is a false religion and a cult. They have no right to interfere with treatment which can save life. So much rubbish. So since you can't compare an underdeveloped country to a developed country, therefore sacredness of one of God's law will have to be interpreted by different countries as it suits them. So if you die from refusal of blood transfusion it doesn't guarantee you eternal life, but if you die after refusing blood transfusion you will go to heaven to live with the angels and if you live after refusing a blood transfusion you will be condemned to hellfire. S H A M E ON PHARISEES and HYPOCRITES The bloodiest star comment of the year, on behalf of all haters is..Blood is given in fractions these days not whole blood you hardly give whole blood ![]() I now return to the first paragraph where I find a typical example of inferiority complex. Our third world country people, like you, proposing different behavior for underdeveloped country Christians and developed country Christians. S-H-A-M-E ON ALL PHARISEES and HYPOCRITES |

Hairyrapunzel:S H A M E. S H A M E. S H A M E >>>>> S H A M E. S H A M E. S H A M E. The same David who you claim broke the mosaic law refused to drink the water of blood and I wonder if king David is a Christian for him to follow the new law of christ ![]() Of course people like you continue to accuse our father eternal, Jesus Christ of breaking a sabbath law, just like your predecessors, the pharisees and the scribes and the Sadducees all H Y P O C R I T E S. But how can a man who fails to comprehend a simple conversation between Jesus and the H Y PO C R I T E S about the sabbath, be able to reason the law on abstinence. H Y P O C R I T E. I hope you are 70 years old so that it can remain the biggest rip off you will ever see in your entire life. #SoCalledBroadWay please stay on that road because your heart has become like JI your predecessor! |
Hairyrapunzel:senseless argument in a circle? When will you learn that the mosaic law, including law on blood and law on fat have been fulfilled in Christ!!! O M G! Take Sense. Why are you so hatefully blind? Any law that Christians obey must be based on ALL the law of Christ. [b]But how can a man who fails to comprehend a simple conversation between Jesus and the H Y PO C R I T E S about the sabbath, be able to reason the law on abstinence[/b]How can he reason out the politics of bible translations and bible translators? H Y P O C R I T E. I hope you are 70 years old so that it can remain the biggest rip off you will ever see in your entire life. ![]() |

[quote author=Hairyrapunzel post=53758529][/quote]See how your behind is being exposed. as I N C O N S I S T E N T 1. Show me where blood transfusion was mentioned in the bible? 2. So church of England is now equivalent to all churches in the world? 3. Always looking for a church to blame for your frustrations on? And all the above are your arguments? ![]() Stephen was stoned to death by other people he never stoned himself to death by himself He had no choice to run away?! Is is not what people like you would advocate! How can a man who can not understand and interpret an ordinary argument between the hypocrites and Jesus about the sabbath, understand the 3 items above and the scriptural nature of abstinence from blood eating. many gentiles of different religion who convert to christianity often will never knwo all these things things except a particular law is written for them every day of their life ![]() |
Abeg wetin be the real scores oooo |
Hairyrapunzel:Abstaining from Blood transfusion isn't biblical ie it is not even mentioned in the bible.[/b]Of course. This is the type of bibles that allow the church in England to allow homosexual cohabitation. Your bible are not what all will rely on. So you can see why someone like you will say [b]"Nothing concerns the biblical aspect and transfusion related reaction" The road is to life rooooommmmmmyyy and broad ![]() Shameful statement "Sucide bombers die for what they believe in and in their religion they are heroes. Same thing with people who die due to refusal of blood transfusion they die for what they believe in and in their religion they are heroes." Stephen the evangelist will be labelled as above by people like you, until thankfully, the apostles wrote about him in a good light. H Y P O C R I T E |
Leme run dere |
Hairyrapunzel:You mean I'm still overestimating your intelligence! You can't interpret your own statistics!!! You can't tell the difference between the back-argument in reply to your assertions about whole blood takers and blood non-takers. ![]() We know that blood has always come to the aid of many patients around the world especially in terms of quantity needed such as for soldiers in a war. Your materialists ideology refuses to agree with the respect for scripture directing Christians on the continuation on blood saintliness. All your hatred is wired towards materialism. S H A M E. First you are a doctor now you are a statistician interpreting ANOVA. Anything to win the argument. L I A R. L I A R Since the 1940's, how many PubicHPunzels/Christians have died due to the half knowledge, recklessness, mistakes, failure and blood myths by the hospitals for those who accept and for those who refuse. Mtchewwww. With improved technology has both sides not benefited on MEDICAL GROUNDS. ![]() My point being no one (ignorant or misinformed or over-informed or simply informed) should play-the-ostrich that those dead souls would have been worse off if they chose on medical grounds to insist on NO BLOOD and still died. However, an ostrich man would start convolution, if it is reported that the reason of death was as a result of NOT accepting a transfusion on religious grounds. S H A M E |
