Analysis of the Relationship between blood donor knowledge level and blood donor service management to the low number of blood donors at the guido Valadares National Hospital Blood Bank in 2019

Blood is the most essential part of human life because it is a means of transportation in the human body that can save someone from death. According to WHO Facts in 2019, blood collected globally per year only reached 117.4 million blood donors. As found in the serology and blood transfusion report from the RSNGV Blood Bank in 2017, explains that the blood that was successfully collected during the reporting period amounted to 3704 units of safe and ready-to-transfuse blood, of which only 21% was obtained from volunteer donors and 79% came from family donors.

The evolution of the ophthalmoscope: A Mini-Review on advancements in retinal imaging and ai-driven diagnostics

The ophthalmoscope is a fundamental diagnostic tool in ophthalmology, enabling detailed examination of the retina, optic nerve, and ocular vasculature. Since its invention by Hermann von Helmholtz in 1851, the ophthalmoscope has undergone continuous advancements, significantly improving its diagnostic capabilities, portability, and accessibility.

Heavy metal distribution in Water, Sediment and some Benthic Organisms in Nwaniba River of Akwaibom State

This study assesses the distribution of heavy metals in water, sediment, and some benthic organisms in Nwaniba River, Akwa Ibom state. A total of 7 heavy metals (Fe, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Cr and Mn) were determined using the Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopic (ICP-OES) technique. The results showed mean concentration in water as: Cr(0.0061 mg/l), Cu(0.0437 mg/l), Mn(0.1124 mg/l), Ni (0.0351 mg/l) and Fe(3.1196 mg/l). The mean concentration of heavy metals in sediment, crab, periwinkle flesh and periwinkle shell ranged between 2.4479 - 101.8957 mg/kg for Cr, Cu (51.

Contribuições Literárias: Primeiros passos para Implementação de dados abertos Governamentais na Sedecti/Am

Dados abertos são informações que podem ser livremente usadas e reutilizadas com a premissa de promoção do conhecimento como um bem comum robusto no qual qualquer um pode participar. O presente estudo tem como objetivo compreender o contexto de dados abertos na literatura para a publicação de dados abertos institucionais. Para alcançar os resultados, utilizou-se o método de revisão integrativa tendo como procedimento metodológico o uso da estratégia PICO e a categorização dos estudos, aplicadas em levantamento bibliográfico.
