variation between the Bombay blood group and the common ABO blood groups is the presence (or absence) of the H antigen.
Such individuals are unable to get blood transfusion of any ABO group, even type O which carries the H antigen.
They are only able to take blood of another Bombay blood group donor.
It occurs in approximately 0.0004 percent (one in every 4 million) of the entire human population.
This was the first cross-blood kidney transplant.
In patient with rare Bombay blood group, Doctors at MIOT International in Chennai, performed a cross-blood transplant.
In 2010, team of MIOT Hospitals a successfully transplanted the kidney of a donor with B blood group onto a recipient with O blood group.
They have employed special procedure known as double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) invented by Japanese.
The Bombay, also called HH, blood group is a rare blood group that was initially identified in Mumbai in 1952 by Y.M. Bhende.
The major variations of the Bombay blood group and the ubiquitous ABO blood groups, are the presence (or absence) of the H antigen.
These individuals are not able to be transfused with blood of any ABO group, not even with type O that contains the H antigen.
Only another Bombay blood group donor can give her blood.
It is estimated at 0.0004% (one in 4 million) of the entire human population.
Earth's Inner Core Dynamics
The recent researches have shown some evidence of the inner core of the earth deforming at its boundary with the outer liquid core.
The independent spin of the inner core seems to be slowing down.
The center is a hot, largely solid ball of iron approximately 1,500 miles in width.
These results are indicative that the structural changes are taking place on the near surface of the inner core.
These alterations may interfere with its rotation and even have an impact on the duration of a day.
The dynamic between the inner and outer core is said to be the engine that drives those developments.
Gravehawk System
Ukraine is also said to have acquired a new weapon - the Gravehawk hybrid surface-to-air missile system.
This system was invented by the United Kingdom with
