Blood Type Compatibility Chart

Sometimes we do not get the required type of blood during emergency need. In that cases we can use compatible blood groups to meet the emergency needs. A list of compatible blood groups are given below. Depending on whether you need only Red Cells, Whole Blood or Plasma, the compatible blood groups may vary. The following chart is for your reference only. Please consult with a qualified doctor for the decision making of blood transfusion.

What are pneumonia symptoms and signs?

What are pneumonia symptoms and signs?

Most people who develop pneumonia initially have symptoms of a cold (upper respiratory infection, for example, sneezing, sore throat, cough), which are then followed by a high fever (sometimes as high as 104 F), shaking chills, and a cough with sputum production. The sputum is usually discolored and sometimes bloody. Depending on the location of the infection, certain symptoms are more likely to develop. When the infection settles in the air passages, cough and sputum tend to predominate the symptoms. In some, the spongy tissue of the lungs that contain the air sacs is more involved. In this case, oxygenation of the blood can be impaired, along with stiffening of the lung, which results in shortness of breath. At times, the individual's skin color may change and become dusky or purplish (a condition known as "cyanosis") due to their blood being poorly oxygenated.

Signs of a Vision Problem

Serious Signs of a Vision Problem

One goal of See by Three is to raise awareness about vision disorders. It is important to stress that many common vision problems do not have outward symptoms. Even if none of these problems look familiar, there could still be a problem. If you have any concerns about your child's eyes, schedule an appointment with your doctor.

The three symptoms below are considered "concerning" and if they are present, tell your physician the next time you have a scheduled visit.

Unequal pupils may be a sign of nerve damage or tumor which is visible in one eye. If a child tilts their head, it may be an indication that the child is avoiding double vision. If there appears to be a pupil defect, if the pupil is irregular in shape, it may be an indication that there is a defect inside the eye.
