With a view to terminological uniformity, blood group serologists, immunologists and transfusion physicians should refer only to the "ABo' (zero) in stead of the "ABO' system. They also should use "HLA antibodies' in stead of "anti HLA antibodies'. The new Dutch spelling "resus' in stead of "Rhesus' is incorrect from a historical point of view.
Six blood group antigens (ABO, RH, MNS, KK, KP, FY) and five plasma proteins (HP, GC, APOA4, FXIIIB, C1R) were typed in 790 individuals, and 12 mtDNA RFLP and deletion polymorphisms were typed in 657 individuals from the San Luis Valley, Colorado. The 790 nuclear typings were conducted on 399 Anglos and 391 Hispanics, while the 657 mitochondrial haplotypes were generated from 207 Anglos and 450 Hispanics. Chakraborty's ADMIX2 FORTRAN program was used to estimate the average Amerindian admixture using all nuclear loci simultaneously. Since there is no recombination in mtDNA, the sum of the frequencies of the Amerindian/Asian-specific mitochondrial haplotypes represents the level of Amerindian admixture. The nuclear estimates of Amerindian admixture were 33.15 +/- 2.41% for the Hispanics and 9.72 +/- 1.90% for the Anglos, while the strictly maternally inherited mtDNA estimates of Amerindian admixture were 85.11% for the Hispanics and 0.97% for the Anglos. This dramatic difference in estimated levels of admixture between the biparentally derived nuclear estimates and the uniparentally derived mtDNA estimates is indicative of past directional matings between Hispanic males and Amerindian females.
Blood administration safety is the result of accurate identification of patients to blood products before transfusions, appropriate care and administration of blood products, and rapid recognition and intervention when adverse reactions occur. Health care institutions have an obligation to provide staff members clearly defined, comprehensive policies and procedures related to blood administration. These policies and procedures should be combined with appropriate personnel orientation and periodic training reviews, as well as oversight of blood transfusion practices within the institution. Perioperative nurses should know and follow institutional policies and procedures on blood administration exactly, being aware of the indications and functions of basic blood products, monitor patients for signs of adverse reactions to blood administration, and intervene promptly when adverse reactions are recognized.
