ABSTRACT
Introduction: Health consciousness regarding knowing their blood group is the awareness of people about their health. The ABO and Rhesus Blood Groups were discovered and identified in 1900 and 1940 respectively. The ABO blood group system is the only system in which antibodies are consistently & predictably present in the serum of normal individuals whose red cells lack the antigen. The ABO system remains by far the most significant for transfusion.
Aims & Objective: To assess the awareness of consciousness of knowing their blood group, Rhesus system, universal recipient, universal donor & also to determine the predominated blood group among them & also to prepare a database for different blood groups for the blood bank.
Methods: The Present Study has been undertaken at the time of admission of Ist year Medical Students regarding the consciousness of knowing their blood group. A total of 150 students were admitted through NEET 2013, MP PMT 2013 GOI seats and NRI seats of different categories. During counselling a prestructured questionnaire was given and information was taken. A total of 136 students participated in this study.
Results: The awareness regarding knowledge of knowing their blood groups were present in 85 (62.50%) students while 51(37. 50%) were unaware. The Maximum prevalence was of B Group i.e. 36 (42.35%) followed by O i.e. 34 (40.00 %), A 10(11.76%) & AB 5(5.89%) respectively.
Conclusion: In school education the awareness should be generated among the students for making them conscious regarding the knowledge of knowing their Blood Group.
KEYWORDS: Awareness of blood group; Rh type; Universal donor; Universal recipient.

ABSTRACT
Background: Human kidneys are usually supplied by single renal artery on each side. An accessory renal artery is the one that is accessory to the main artery accompanying the same towards the hilum and entering the kidney through the hilum to supply it. The artery supplies the kidney without entering its hilum is known as aberrant renal artery.
Material and Method: The present case was an accidental finding studied during the routine dissection of a 55 year old female cadaver. In the present case we found a rare course of aberrant renal artery arising from abdominal aorta on the left side. Such variation was not found on the opposite side of the cadaver.
Result: In present case the aberrant renal artery arises from the abdominal aorta 6.2 cm below the main renal artery on the left side. The left aberrant renal artery passes laterally and enters the lower pole of the kidney behind the left ureter and left gonadal vein. On morphological examination of the left kidney, it was found to be more elongated and thinner compared to its counterpart on the right side. In the present case the diameter of main renal artery on left side is 4.6 mm and on right side it is 4.8 mm while the diameter of left aberrant renal artery is 3.8 mm. The length of right main renal artery is 5.3 cm, the left main renal artery is 4.9 cm and left aberrant renal artery is 4.5 cm.
Conclusion: Knowledge regarding variation of renal vascular anatomy has importance in exploratory surgeries like management of renal trauma or injury, renal transplantation, renal artery embolism and abdominal aortic aneurism etc in conservative or radical renal surgeries. The knowledge of variations in renal vasculature is important and drawing attention of abdominal and urosurgeons and radiologist; and by applying that a better performance in surgical and investigating procedures can be achieved in therapeutic and diagnostic fields of medical science.

ABSTRACT
Asthma is a global health problem affecting about 300 million individuals of all ages, ethnic groups and countries. It is estimated that around 250,000 people die prematurely each year as a result of asthma4. Several birth cohort studies evaluating the association between breast feeding and asthma in children have shown consistently protective effects, particularly with exclusive breast feeding15,8.
The objective of our study was to evaluate the association between breast feeding versus formula feeding and asthma in children and its relation to duration of breast feeding and other factors affecting asthma. 350 asthmatic child aged 1-6 years who were attending our pediatric clinic at Al Gannas Medical Centre, Al kharj, KSA in the period from 20-8-2011 to 19-2-2013 were included in this study.

ABSTRACT
This article is to discuss about the common pain syndromes encountered in pain clinic. Since now a days new pain physicians getting trained in pain management mostly from the speciality of anaesthesiology and also from other specialties like orthopaedics, neurology, physical and rehabilitation medicine, rheumatology, radiodiagnosis awareness have been created among patients the need for pain clinic. It is imperative to know the most common pain syndromes which we commonly see in pain clinics. The common pain conditions which are associated with neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain and generalized body pain are facet arthropathy, sacroiliac arthropathy, discogenic pain, disc prolapse, joint pain, muscle pain (Myofascial pain syndrome and fibromyalgia),peripheral neuropathy (mainly diabetic peripheral neuropathy).

ABSTRACT
Background: Amongst 30 blood groups discovered till date, ABO blood group found in 1901 and Rh blood group in 1902 are the most prevalent and important blood groups used in transfusion, organ transplant, genetics studies and in legal matter. The present study was carried out to assess the prevalence of blood groups in the Eastern India comparing the result with data’s from inside and outside India.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 1,22,803 blood donors for a period of six and half years conducted in the Blood Bank of S.C.B. Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack, Odhisha, India.
Results: Blood group ‘O’ (37.4%) was the commonest blood group followed by group B(34.16%), A(21.3%)and AB( 7.05%). Rh negativity was observed in 2.36% and Rh positivity in 97.63%.
Conclusion: Although blood group ‘O’ is most common, Blood group ‘B’ also found to be high number in our region. Rh negativity’s incidence is very low in Eastern India.
KEYWORDS: Blood group; Eastern India; Rhesus.
