Effect of Shotblocker on Venipuncture Pain among Blood Donors: A Randomized Controlled Trial
...Show More Authors

ABSTRACT Background: Blood donation is process obtaining, analyzing, preparing, and preserving blood and its many components essential for life-saving that enhances health and lowers mortality rates. Despite the fact that giving blood is frequently demonstrated to be a voluntary service, certain studies highlight a number of factors that affect blood donations such as Gender, past donor experiences including syncopal reactions, venipuncture pain, anxiety, and donor satisfaction, all have an impact on the decision to donate blood.in addition, one of the main reasons donors reject to donate blood is pain associated with venipuncture. Aim: Evaluate the effectiveness of shotblocker on pain during venipuncture in adult blood donors compared to control group. Methods: A randomized control trial (one control group and one study groups) conducted on 50 blood donors were selected randomly by simple random sampling at mean blood bank center during 2023. Data were collected by using visual analogue scale (VAS). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in data analysis. Results: Showed that there are statistically significant differences between (shotblocker and control groups) regarding pain score with venipuncture among blood donors. The study concluded that shotblocker have an effect in reducing pain resulting from venipuncture procedure for adult blood donors compared with control group. Conclusion: The study concluded that shotblocker has an effect in reducing pain resulting from venipuncture procedure for adult blood donors compared with control group. Also, concluded there is no significant statistical difference between shotblocker and demographic characteristic regarding pain resulting from venipuncture procedure in adult blood donors. The researcher recommends to conduct future studies to apply shotblocker in one group, so the effect of each technique can be assessed in each blood donors. This will help to reduce the bias regarding the subjectivity of pain sensation among study groups. in other hand, it is recommended to use shotblocker before the needle insertion among blood donors to reduce the pain.

Development and Characterization of Controlled Release Tablets of Candesartan Cilexetil/ β‑Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complex
...Show More Authors

Objective: Matrix tablet approach is one of the delivery systems intended for poorly water-soluble drugs, like candesartan cilexetil (CC). CC is a class II drug used for the treatment of hypertension. Methods: Matrix tablets from (F1x to F18z) were prepared in the presence of β‑cyclodextrin. Matrix tablet formulation ensures control release of the drug and higher dissolution by β‑cyclodextrin. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to study compatibility. Results: The angle of repose determination showed good flow for most of the formulas, besides having good compressibility. Weight variation test for all formulas showed accepted value. Drug content measurement sho

Gene frequencies of ABO and rhesus blood groups in Sabians (Mandaeans), Iraq
...Show More Authors

The present study aimed to determine the frequency of ABO and Rh blood group antigens among Sabians (Mandaeans) population. This paper document the frequency of ABO and Rh blood groups among the Sabians (Mandaeans) population of Iraq.There is no data available on the ABO/Rh (D) frequencies in the Sabians (Mandaeans) population. Total 341 samples analyzed; phenotype O blood type has the highest frequency 49.9%, followed by A 28.7%, and B 13.8% whereas the lowest prevalent blood group was AB 7.6%. The overall phenotypic frequencies of ABO blood groups were O>A>B>AB. The allelic frequencies of O, A, and B alleles were 0.687, 0.2 and 0.1122 respectively. Rhesus study showed that with a percentage of 96.2% Rh (D) positive is by far the mo

Effect of a Parked Car Orientation on a Temperature Distribution and Cooling Load Calculation: Experimental Study
...Show More Authors

When a vehicle is left parked in the sun for an extended period, the gathered heat causes damage to several interiors within the cabin and causes discomfort for people and animals left inside the car. In the present work, the effect of the orientation of a parked white minibus on temperature distribution and cooling load calculation is studied experimentally in an open environment. Two different cases were studied facing south and facing east. For several hours, the temperature inside the car cabin had been monitored and measured at five separate locations. The cooling load calculations are carried out based on the experimental measurements. The results show that the overheating of parked cars always happens as a result
