Please match the type of diabetes mellitus with its characteristics.

Refer to Selected Cell Panel B for this question. An antibody identification panel has been evaluated and appears to contain anti E but anti Jka  has not been ruled out.  Which of the following cells from Selected Cell Panel B should be selected and tested to rule out anti- Jka?  

Refer to PANEL D for this question. This is a 2 Part Question! a) Identify the likely antibody class present in the patient presented in PANEL D. 1 point b) Provide the most likely reason for the variation in strength of reactivity in PANEL D.  1 point

Using Panel A below, select the antibody(ies) most likely responsible for the observed reactions. Panel A 

An enzyme pre-treated panel has been prepared to test with your patient’s plasma which contains anti-S and anti-K. Which set of reaction patterns would you expect to see as a result of testing after enzyme treatment of the red cells?

Refer to PANEL C for this question. This is a 2 part question!!!! a) After performing the rule-out step on PANEL C list ALL possible antibody/ies present. No partial credit. 1 pts b) If the criteria is not satisfied for rule in or rule out, identify the selected cell phenotype you would be searching for (no need to identify any specific cell from the panels provided, just what cell phenotype you will need to confirm (rule in or rule out) the possible antibodies present) 1 pts   

Refer to PANEL E for this question. Anti-E and Anti-K  are most likely present in the patient sample. Which of the following statements is true?  

A patient has anti-E and anti-S confirmed in their plasma.   The physician has ordered four units to be crossmatched.  The frequency of the E antigen in the population is 28% and the frequency of the S antigen is 55%.  How many units would you need to screen to find four to crossmatch?

Why are check cells are added to all negative reactions in the AHG phase of antibody ID testing?

Which type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is characterized by damage to the brain’s nerve fibers due to rapid acceleration or deceleration, commonly seen in car accidents or sports injuries?
