A hemolytic transfusion reaction is a serious complication that can occur after a transfusion of blood. The red blood cells that were given in the transfusion are destroyed by the patient's immune system.
There are other types of allergic transfusion reactions that do not cause hemolysis.
Blood transfusion reaction
Blood is classified into different blood types called A, B, AB, and O.
Your immune system can usually tell its own blood cells from blood cells from those of another person. If other blood cells enter your body, your immune system may already have antibodies against them. These antibodies will work to destroy the blood cells that your immune system does not recognize.
Another way blood cells may be classified is by Rh factors. People who have Rh factors in their blood are called "Rh positive." People without these factors are called "Rh negative." Rh negative people form antibodies against Rh factor if they receive Rh positive blood.
There are also other factors to identify blood cells, in addition to ABO and Rh.
Blood that you receive in a transfusion must be compatible with your own blood. This means that your body does not have antibodies against the blood you receive.
Most of the time, blood transfusion between compatible groups (such as O+ to O+) does not cause a problem. Blood transfusion between incompatible groups (such as A+ to O-) causes an immune response. This can lead to a serious transfusion reaction. The immune system attacks the donated blood cells, causing them to burst.
Today, all blood is carefully screened. Transfusion reactions very rare.
Symptoms of a hemolytic transfusion reaction most often appear during or right after the transfusion. Sometimes, they may develop after several days (delayed reaction).
This disease may change the results of these tests:
Therapy can prevent or treat the severe effects of a hemolytic transfusion reaction. If symptoms occur during the transfusion, the transfusion must be stopped immediately. Blood samples from the person getting the transfusion and from the donor may be tested to tell whether symptoms are being caused by a transfusion reaction.
Mild symptoms may be treated with:
The outcome depends on how bad the reaction is. The disorder may disappear without problems. Or, it may be severe and life-threatening.
Tell your health care provider if you are having a blood transfusion and you have had a reaction before.
Donated blood is put into ABO and Rh groups to reduce the risk of transfusion reaction.
Before a transfusion, patient and donor blood are tested (crossmatched) to see if they are compatible with each other. A small amount of donor blood is mixed with a small amount of patient blood. The mixture is checked under a microscope for signs of antibody reaction.
Before the transfusion is given, the health care provider will usually check again to make sure you are receiving the right unit of blood.

Customer Reviews for On Sale Multi-colored Cordless Window Shades
"beautiful high quality"
By customer
I ordered these in the Epic Crest pattern that was shown in the example. The light filtering through gives the room a nice golden glow.
View this product"Make sure you measure!"
By Happylady from New jersey
When my roller shades arrived they were packaged with all the hardware I needed to install. They were really easy to install and look beautiful. High quality hardware and materials. Make sure you measure twice, if you are ordering valence or cassette tops- these fit exactly and if you're off they will be much more difficult to install.

using it for (rubber) knife practice
Comments about Revgear Tuffskin Heavy Bag Cover:
product is excellent and easy to put on your bag and take off anytime you want. i have a 7" blade rubber training knife and though it's just rubber it's edge was thin enough i was worried it'd damage my heavybag's vynyl skin, it was definitely scuffing it up, so i wrapped a gi around my bag, that worked but then found this product and it works much better.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

3D scanning and printing have made their mark on popular culture in the past couple of years with eye-catching headlines like "Researchers Closing in on Printing 3D Hearts" and "Tools of Modern Gunmaking." Many museums have also started using 3D printing to foster greater engagement and creativity between their visitors and collections. As a cultural institution, one of the main challenges when experimenting with new technologies is to understand and evaluate how it can be used to benefit or bolster our collection and mission, and try to get beyond the initial "whoa—that's cool!" factor.
FAMSF Blog
August Artist-in-Residence Peggy Gyulai explores the connections between music and the expressive possibilities of paint on canvas in her work. She listens to and looks at music as a subject, object, inspiration, and—like Richard Diebenkorn—invokes the dynamic tension between the poles of abstraction and representation, creating substance from ephemeral phenomena.

The de Young Summer Art Camp continues as our Apprentices, Artisans, and Masters observe, describe, and record their adventures.
During the last two weeks, campers practiced their drawing and painting skills using a full range of materials—including charcoal, chalk pastel, china markers, watercolor, acrylic, and oil—and filling up their sketchbooks and canvases.
SAN FRANCISCO (August 7, 2013) —The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco are saddened by the loss of Ruth Aiko Asawa, who died on August 6, 2013, at the age of 87. Asawa was a groundbreaking modernist sculptor with whom the Museums enjoyed a long-standing relationship. An internationally exhibited artist, teacher, arts advocate, and Museum trustee, she leaves a remarkable legacy.

Torani Sugar Free Salted Caramel Syrup
One of my favorite Starbuck's treats is when it's salted caramel latte time! I haven't tried any of the other regular or sugar free caramel syrups, but this one TAKES IT. I'm very picky about SF stuff - this syrup tastes great. I add it to my espresso flavored protein shake in the morning. It has a very nice caramel flavor that I like to savor - can't say that about a lot of sugar free caramel.

Openminds.tv has posted an archive of scans of the APRO Bulletin here:
Article about the release:
Article about what happened to the APRO archive and files:
The one thing I noticed right away is that the file sizes of these are outrageously large for PDFs that most of the time are only 8 pages long and which bear text quality that is only moderate (And a few of them are unreadable). Had the creator started with high quality scans (Should never be less than 300 dpi) and then finished with ClearScan OCR rendered to 300 dpi the text quality could have been fantastic and the file sizes much, much smaller. For an explanation of how ClearScan works check out this.
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/bette ... oks-better
I batched these files into Adobe Acrobat Pro to convert them to ClearScan OCR. The result is smaller file sizes and in some instances sharper text quality (While many sport better looking text than the originals despite smaller file sizes the few that were totally unreadable remain so. ClearScan is at its best when converting mid to high quality scans into high quality, small, and searchable PDF files. It can't accomplish much with source material that is unreadable). The higher quality the original files were the greater the reduction in file size and the boost to text clarity. The ones that are still quite large are so because the originals were so poor there wasn't much ClearScan could do with them (And/Or because there were a lot of pictures in the file. ClearScan only effects text). So the smallest files (Some are now just a few hundred kbs where the originals were several megs) tend to be the best looking ones. Additionally, some of the originals had pages that were very crooked and those have been straightened out. Not all of them are perfectly straight (Though many are) but there is certainly a big improvement. All in all the original 93 files totaled 785 megs and these new versions total 161 megs when unpacked. For anyone interested I put all 93 (As of the time of this post that is all that has been made available so far) of these new versions into a rar archive and uploaded it to Megaupload.:
If in the future somebody tries to download this and it isn't there that will be because Megaupload deletes files after they go 21 consecutive days without a download.

5 A Modern Masterpiece in Story and GamingRynosphoric | 30/04/2010 | See all Rynosphoric's reviews (3)Bioshock, This game satisfies the senses on all levels. The graphics are superb and really draw out and highlight the horrific elements of the Rapture environment.The sound design is flawless, the twisted moaning of splicers as they roam the endless hallways right down to sound of fish swirling outside.Story, This is a story that really delivers a strong impact and draws you into playing over and over again just to see the fantastic amount of jaw dropping scenes that even films cannot produce.Value? Well the value for this game is awesome, especially now at its lowest price, the game will last you a long time and the amount of plasmids and tonics availible will give you a reason to return to rapture. And if you can afford to spend some cash you can purchase the challenge rooms pack, 3 new challenges that can be done your own way and show you new scenes you havent... seen before, and with the added use of a special new game option you can replay the game starting with what your character had after you finished the first time. Beautiful. I will sum up now...Graphics: 9/10Sound: 8/10Gameplay:8/10Story: 10/10Overall Score: 9/10B-E-A-utiful.
5 Best.Game.EverRapeture | 06/06/2009 | See all Rapeture's reviews (1)I can honestly say I have nothing bad to say about this game!Having just now, completed it for the 3rd time (earning my platinum trophy) I am still wanting more action in rapture.The atmosphere of this game is like nothing else you will have ever experienced, the sound & visuals portray perfectly a fallen utopia, corrupted by greed and the thirst for power. Rapture has history, which is something most game worlds do not. Throughout the game there are 120+ audio diaries to collect, you don't have too, but listening to them really gives you an insight into many events leading up to the fall of rapture, sometimes they are so disturbing you wish you hadn't have heard them as the game get you emotionally evolved, for example, you walk into one room and see a serverly maimed women dead on a bed, there are tools all over the floor and alot of blood and guts, under the bed there is a diary, when i listened to it I realised it was my mother, my mouth fell open! for a second, I actually beleived this WAS my mother, this was the most sureal experience i've ever had in a video game!The gameplay is equally impressive, with 6 main weapons to chose from, each with many ammo types your never short of new ways to blow away the crazy enemies, plasmids (genetic modifications) are also used offensively (and defensivly) to inflict more hurt on your foes.This probably isn't a very good review, just take my advice and buy the game!
5 Brilliantsmavface | 16/12/2008 | See all smavface's reviews (1)Definately a must buy game, at a price of £17.99 i wud of been happy with it even if i payed £40 for it, it truly is one of the best games on ps3, the story brilliant, gameplay brilliant, graphics brilliant. Buy it now!

Father, we declare this the SUMMER OF LOVE! We are so eager to accept Your love, mercy, and grace for us, yet we are so slow to dish it out to others. This summer, Lord, help us to dish it out to others in huge doses, like a colossal scoop of the most delicious ice cream!
We refuse to fall into the trap of making this a selfish summer, serving our own desires. It's not about us! It's about You, Your love, and lavishing it on others.
As we prepare to go to camps, vacations, or lounge by the pool, let us also prepare to LOVE others in Your name. First, let us dish out colossal scoops of love on those close to us. Next, Lord show us how we can get out of our comfort zone and love those that need it most, maybe even someone in our lives who we have rejected and refused to forgive. -In Jesus' name, Amen.
Father, help us to GET OVER IT! No more dwelling and complaining, help us to see what's good in our lives! We ask you to bring us out of the dark and into the light.
So often we live in the dark focusing on what's wrong, what's missing, and what's just downright unfair. Today, help us FLIP THE SWITCH and turn on the LIGHT. Shine your light on what's right, what we have, and what blessings are in our lives that we don't deserve!
The more we focus on our blessings, they multiply and the darkness fades away! Turn our attention to everything good! -In Jesus' name, Amen
What's one blessing in your life that you don't deserve?

It's unfortunate that Saturday night anime doesn't get appreciation due to the lack of it among the team working on Toonami.
JoJo the Animation might be perfect for this if it didn't have copyrighted names.
Yog wrote:Why.
They're both good shows.
Anime News Network wrote:Turner Broadcasting System Asia announced on Tuesday that it will launch a multi-language Toonami channel in early 2013 across Southeast Asia.
Toonami, which is based on the same programming block on Cartoon Network, will be a 24-hour channel that Turner Broadcasting System Asia describes as "the ultimate home of the superhero." The channel will feature anime and animated action-adventure series. The official announcement noted that the channel's line-up will include Dragon Ball Z, along with other animated series such as Young Justice, and Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
Sunny Saha, the Senior Vice President and Managing Director for Entertainment Networks at Turner International Asia Pacific Limited, said, "our aim is to make Toonami a socially-charged, multiplatform experience for fans, by fans. We'll invite input from viewers on everything from programming to showcasing fan art submissions on-air and online."
Turner Broadcasting System Asia will also launch the Cartoonito channel that will feature animation catered to younger viewers aged 3-7.
Adult Swim, the cable and satellite network that is paired with Cartoon Network, relaunched its Toonami programming block in the United States in May. Cartoon Network had previously ended Toonami in 2008 after an 11-year run.
Rosso Rose wrote:Demarco announced that Toonami's getting expanded. Take a look at the schedule here for yourself:
12:00 a.m. Bleach
12:30 a.m. Samurai 7
1:00 a.m. Casshern Sins
1:30 a.m. Eureka 7
2:00 a.m. Sym-Bionic Titan
2:30 a.m. Thundercats
3:00 a.m. FMA Brotherhood
3:30 a.m. FMA Brotherhood
4:00 a.m. Ghost In The Shell
4:30 a.m. Ghost In The Shell
5:00 a.m. Cowboy Bebop
5:30 a.m. Cowboy Bebop
So new shows added to the line up as shown are Sym-Bionic Titan and ThunderCats. Bebop is now at the five o' clock hour with FMA and Ghost in the Shell on the 3 and 4 o' clock hour.
Sorry for the double post, but this is something significant. Symbiotic Titan was discontinued after a season, but with this announcement, is it likely that it will return again for another season?

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) -- Bruce Jenner, former Olympic decathlon champ and reality television star, is racing this weekend at the Kansas Speedway.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports (http://bit.ly/14RtG5k ) Jenner is racing with his 34-year-old son Burt Jenner in the SFP Grand Prix on the road course at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan. They're co-driving in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo class on Friday and Saturday.
Jenner, now 63, won the gold medal in the 1976 Montreal Olympics, setting a then-world record with 8,616 points. He may be better known now, however, for the TV reality show, "Keeping up with the Kardashians," which chronicles the life of Jenner's extended family.
Practice and qualifying for the race are Friday, along with the first of two Lamborghini Super Trofeo races Friday night.

(BaseballStL) -- At 35 years old, Cardinals SS Rafael Furcal is anything but the perfect picture of health. An elbow injury last season forced the Redbirds into the very unfortunate situation of relying on Pete Kozma for the stretch run.
Sure, Kozma performed admirably most of the time. But he's not exactly someone the team views as long term solution at the shortstop position.
What should the Cards do at shortstop Share your thoughts.
And what do the Cards project as their shortstop tandem for 2013? As of now, yep, it's Furcal and Kozma.
Look, I do believe Kozma has earned himself the opportunity to get a little bit of playing time next year. His performance in the stretch run of the regular season (.333 avg with a .383 on-base percentage) absolutely dictates it.
But that would make the most sense if there was stability among the starter. That's just not the case here though.
Rafael Furcal has averaged, get this, barely over 100 games played a year for the last three seasons. Barely over 100. That's more than a third of the year that he's been unavailable every season since 2010.
And that's not including playing in just 36 games two years prior to that in 2008.
GM John Mozeliak told SiriusXM radio this week that Furcal's elbow injury has completely healed as shown by the MRI he got. I believe him. I have little doubt in my mind that the Dominican Republic native will show up to spring training in February with a clean bill of health.
But this man is not getting any younger. At 35, the laws of physics say he should be breaking down even faster than he was just a few years ago.
So taking into context the fact that for the last three seasons he's played in just over 100 games a year, that's quite a risk these Cardinals are taking that he'll be able to play a full season in 2013. Furcal hasn't been able to do that since 2009 with the Dodgers when he played in 150 games and received 613 at-bats.
And if he goes down...what then? Is it Pete Kozma all over again?
I understand the Cards gave Furcal a two year guaranteed deal last offseason in large part because they had just lost Albert Pujols to the Angels and needed a veteran presence at shortstop. So you've committed to paying him $7.5 million for the upcoming season.
But there's got to be more of a backup plan this time around. Even if they've got to shell out a little bit more money for a bench player than they'd prefer that might be the only option here.

- History Minor
More than memorizing dates and names, history is a method of tracing who we are in today's world by understanding who we were. What aspects of Ancient Egypt can be seen in modern America? How will this year be remembered by future generations? Were the Beatles really the most influential rock band of all time? By developing a broad understanding of history, you'll see how the past influences the things, people and events around us - and what that may mean for our today and our future.
Courses in the program cover history of the United States, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. Through the minor, you'll develop technical and critical skills in synthesizing and evaluating information as you learn how to make knowledgeable, historically-reasoned arguments. In the process, you'll prepare yourself for a lifetime of intellectual engagement with the world around you. The research and critical thinking skills you'll develop in the program are also broadly applicable – knowing how to find information and assess its value is useful in many careers.
This page contains information about History for adult learners and degree completion in our Graduate & Professional Studies program. Learn about programs and majors available on our Storm Lake campus.

Great for multitaskers, the device's Mini Apps Tray option launches commonly used features like the calculator or task manager as pop ups that appear over full-screen apps.

Lili Duda, VMD
Last Modified: December 30, 2001
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I have a FIV FeLV negative two-year-old male cat undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. He has lymphoma; it is located only in the lymph nodes in his hind legs. My vet says this is not a common place to find lymphoma. She feels he has a very good chance of being one of the few cats that go into remission for years not just months, because it is so localized. He is now in complete remission and is in his seventh week of treatments he goes for radiation in two weeks. He has had a healthy appetite so far and has in fact gained enough weight that he has been put on a diet; he also has a lot more energy than before treatment. My question is how exactly how rare is his case and is there any information out there about the type and location of cancer he has and the outcome of those cases?
Lili Duda, VMD, Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Section, replies:
Complete evaluation of a cat with suspected lymphoma includes: CBC, blood chemistries, chest X-rays, abdominal ultrasound with aspirates if indicated, bone marrow aspirate, and lymph node biopsy and histopathology. If the only abnormality found is one or a few enlarged lymph nodes, biopsy of the lymph node is crucial and a fine-needle aspirate with cytology is not an adequate substitute. Multicentric lymphoma in cats usually involves the peripheral lymph nodes with simultaneous involvement of the spleen and liver. Peripheral lymph node involvement by itself is very unusual and requires careful evaluation to confirm a diagnosis of lymphoma prior to instituting therapy.
Consultation with an oncology specialist is highly recommended. There is a syndrome of peripheral lymph node enlargement reported in FeLV/FIV negative young cats (typically 2-4 years old) that can resemble lymphoma. These cats might have a history of fever and previous viral infection. The enlarged lymph nodes regress spontaneously in this group of cats.
Mar 9, 2012 - Several factors, including sporting activity, physical workload, and smoking habits, affect the sonomorphologic characteristics of peripheral lymph nodes in patients with a history of invasive cutaneous melanoma, according to research published online Feb. 29 in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.

from a monkey..
who is just a, 'dumb monkey'
it doesn't take a genius to realize the importance of genetic diversity
Davenport, in a chapter titled "Impossible Variety," makes some very persuasive arguments in favor of at least some of the alien visitors may be from Earth in the future. He cites several cases where normal-looking humans, possibly from the very near future, were reported to be working with the Greys on the spaceships, and some of the humans appeared to be in command or leadership roles. In fact in some cases in the 1950s an '60s, the aliens that were encountered seemed like ordinary U.S. military pilots.
Many contactees have reported being asked what time it is by ufonauts. This suggests visitors from the future who may not have precise control over their time settings. If they were simply spacefarers, a more natural question would be, "Where am I?"

Patagonia produces high-quality environmentally friendly garments that command significant price premiums. Its environmental mission motivates it not only to donate to environmental causes and reduce the impact of its own production, but also to share its practices with other companies. While pursuing its strong environmental stance, Patagonia maintains a larger gross profit margin than its competitors and is targeting a 10% rate of annual growth in sales. In spring 2010, Patagonia was in the process of implementing a new, radical environmental initiative called "Product Lifecycle Initiative" (PLI). This initiative represented a holistic commitment to lengthen the lifecycle of each product and reduce landfill waste. It constituted Patagonia's efforts to take responsibility for the products it made, "from birth to death and then beyond death, back to rebirth." The initiative consisted of a mutual contract between the company and its customers to "reduce, repair, reuse, and recycle" the apparel that they consumed.

An abdominal tap is a procedure used to remove fluid from the area between the belly wall and the spine. This space is called the abdominal cavity.
Peritoneal tap; Paracentesis
This test may be done in an office setting, treatment room, or hospital.
The puncture site will be cleaned and shaved, if necessary. You then receive a local numbing medicine. The tap needle is inserted 1 - 2 inches into the abdomen. Sometimes a small cut is made to help insert the needle. The fluid is pulled out into a syringe.
The needle is removed. A dressing is placed on the puncture site. If a cut was made, one or two stitches may be used to close it.
There are two kinds of abdominal taps:
Let your health care provider know if you:
You may feel a stinging sensation from the numbing medicine, or pressure as the needle is inserted.
If a large amount of fluid is taken out, you may feel dizzy or light-headed. Tell the health care provider if you feel dizzy.
Normally, the abdominal cavity contains only a small amount of fluid. In certain conditions, large amounts of fluid can build up in this space.
An abdominal tap can help diagnose the cause of fluid buildup. It may also be done to diagnose infected abdominal fluid, or to remove a large amount of fluid to reduce belly pain.
Normally, there should be little or no fluid in the abdominal space.
An examination of abdominal fluid may show:
There is a slight chance of the needle puncturing the bowel, bladder, or a blood vessel in the abdomen. If a large quantity of fluid is removed, there is a slight risk of lowered blood pressure and kidney failure. There is also a slight chance of infection.

Our resident atheists seem to have all abandoned ship here, but here is another court case of the American Atheists in the Supreme Court again.
Atheists ask high court to review Ky. law
(2) | |
Published: Nov. 19, 2012 at 1:09 PM
FRANKFORT, Ky., Nov. 19 (UPI) -- The advocacy group American Atheists is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear its challenge of a Kentucky law giving God credit for the safety of the country.
In a petition, attorney Edwin Kagin argued that Kentucky lawmakers disregarded the constitutional prohibition against public sponsorship of religion, The (Louisville, Ky.) Courier-Journal reported Sunday.
At issue is a law passed after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in which a 2002 "legislative finding" said the "safety and security of the commonwealth cannot be achieved apart from reliance upon Almighty God," The Courier-Journal said. A 2006 act that created Kentucky's Office of Homeland Security required its leadership to publicize "dependence on Almighty God" in training and educational materials, as well as in plaques.
In 2008, Franklin Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate upheld a challenge, ruling the state "created an official government position on God."
The state Court of Appeals in 2011 voted 2-1 to reverse the decision, saying the law "merely pays lip service to a commonly held belief" in the power of God.
The Kentucky Supreme Court declined to hear the case.
In his petition to the U.S. Supreme Court, Kagin wrote, "This new legislation should not be swept under the ceremonial deism rug, especially as it ostracizes atheists from politics."
The legislation, Kagin wrote, implies that atheists are "dangerous to the post-9/11 security of the Commonwealth" while contributing to "bias and stereotypes about atheists," and was part of a broader "misguided push to improperly mix religion and government" by Kentucky lawmakers.
