![]() ![]() How often a donor can donate varies from days to months based on what component they donate and the laws of the country where the donation takes place. The donor must also answer questions about medical history and take a short physical examination to make sure the donation is not hazardous to their health. The screening includes testing for diseases that can be transmitted by a blood transfusion, including HIV and viral hepatitis. Potential donors are evaluated for anything that might make their blood unsafe to use. Donating is relatively safe, but some donors have bruising where the needle is inserted or may feel faint. People can also have blood drawn for their own future use ( autologous donation). In countries that allow paid donation some people are paid, and in some cases there are incentives other than money such as paid time off from work. However, this is reversed during disasters when blood donations increase, often creating an excess supply that will have to be later discarded. Despite the many reasons that people donate, not enough potential donors actively donate. Many donors donate for several reasons, such as a form of charity, general awareness regarding the demand for blood, increased confidence in oneself, helping a personal friend or relative, and social pressure. In some countries, established supplies are limited and donors usually give blood when family or friends need a transfusion (directed donation). Today in the developed world, most blood donors are unpaid volunteers who donate blood for a community supply. Blood banks often participate in the collection process as well as the procedures that follow it. Donation may be of whole blood, or of specific components directly ( apheresis). ![]() From left to right: Two cell separators for apheresis, secluded office for pre-donation blood pressure measurement and blood count, and on the right, chairs for whole blood donations.Ī blood donation occurs when a person voluntarily has blood drawn and used for transfusions and/or made into biopharmaceutical medications by a process called fractionation (separation of whole blood components).

Raised by her grandmother, Bowie became an NCAA long jump champion at the University of Southern Mississippi in 2011. Hopefully Bowie will be remembered for her achievements in life rather than by the way she died. The agent also said Bowie was determined not to have her baby in a hospital, but had not mentioned any complications with her pregnancy. Her agent assumed Bowie was receiving proper prenatal care but didn’t know for sure. Despite being eight months pregnant, she weighed only 96 pounds. There are unanswered questions about Bowie’s death.

Mary Ezell and Scott Gill are partners in the land development firm SMJ Enterprise. “Research shows that for every maternal death, about 100 women experience severe maternal morbidity, meaning childbirth would have been nearly lethal for about 120,500 women in 2021.” “Much more common but often overlooked are the near misses, the life-threatening complications experienced before, during and after childbirth,” the Post reported. It makes America the riskiest nation among high-income countries to give birth. The Washington Post website reported that the number of American women who die while giving birth or shortly afterward has been increasing since 2018, when 658 mothers lost their lives. The medical examiner said she suffered from eclampsia, a condition related to high blood pressure that for a pregnant woman can lead to seizures, a coma or respiratory distress.

Sudden discontinuation of trazodone can cause anxiety and agitation and make it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep. However, you may have difficulty sleeping after discontinuing trazodone, particularly if you stop taking the medication suddenly. Compared to some other medications used to treat sleep problems, such as benzodiazepines, trazodone is thought to carry a lower risk of abuse. In clinical trials, people taking trazodone for depression showed no signs of addictive behavior related to the drug. However, no extensive research has been done to study the abuse potential of trazodone, particularly for off-label uses such as insomnia. Trazodone is not recognized by the FDA as a controlled substance, meaning that the existing evidence does not suggest that it has a high potential for abuse or addiction. The existing evidence suggests that trazodone should only be used as a short-term solution for sleep problems, as very little research has been done on continuation treatment. Research on the long-term efficacy and safety of trazodone for insomnia is limited. Your doctor will tell you how long treatment with trazodone will last. ![]()
