You've got eight options: A+, A-, B+, B-, O+, O-, AB+, and AB-. Here's how to tell which one is yours.
As dental caries is typically mediated by biofilm, interventions targeting biofilm have become a major strategy for prevention. Adjusting the intake of fermentable substrates in the diet, especially sucrose is an effective approach3. The modern dietary environment is characterized by the widespread availa...
AB negative blood is a rare blood type across the world, though percentages can range from 0.06 percent to 3 percent of a country's population. Only 0.6 percent of the U.S. population has AB negative blood. But the truth is, there are dozens of other blood types far rarer than AB, ...

As mentioned earlier, finding a suitable donor in KEP for a kidney recipient with blood type O, is rare. When the chances of success in KEP are low, kidney transplantation from an ABO-i donor has both medical and economic justification, which outweighs keeping the patient in a chronic ...
Learn ways to support someone you care about living with rare kidney disease without losing yourself in the process.
Thankfully, it is also the easiest mesothelioma cell type to treat and has a better prognosis and survival rate than the other cell types. Sarcomatoid: These rare mesothelioma cells are recognized by their large size and spindle shape. Only 10-20% of patients have sarcomatoid tumors. It is ...
On the rare occasions when I indulge in a third glass of wine, my HRV tanks significantly. So the bottom line is that consuming alcohol negatively impacts your parasympathetic nervous system, and that results in a lower HRV. On a side note, consuming alcohol doesn’t help with sleep. While...
Acute infusion reactions are common and can be handled easily, whereas the major concerns regarding rituximab include an increased risk of infection due to chronic B cell depletion, hypogammaglobulinemia, late-onset neutropenia, and the extremely rare progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. Importantly...
MALT1 gene (e.g., 14; 18) is less clear, though these entities seem molecularly similar. iNHL involving other sites in the GI tract are mostly MALT lymphomas and FL that in most cases are characterized by an exceedingly indolent course [163,164,165]. Unique in this regard is the rare...
