Modern medical and environmental problems caused by the Australian set two main groups of the negative impact -original natural and climatic factors and the environmental pollution. Much of Australia is desert-dry low landscaping and water scarcity. The bulk of the population lives in cities and the countryside surrounding. Medical and environmental problems in these areas are the air pollution due to emissions of industrial enterprises and motor transport, preservation of safe drinking water, sanitary protection of soil, differentiated collection, removal and decontamination of waste. Issues of sanitary protection of the environment in Australia paid a lot of attention of the Government and non-governmental organizations.

Full textAbstract:
Collagen-based pretreatment methods for bone yield inconsistent results for those samples where protein preservation is low, as frequently found in bones from the semi-arid zones of Australia and North America. New methods for dealing with low collagen bones are needed, and this paper suggests that the non-collagenous proteins, particularly the blood proteins, may offer advantages for AMS dating because of their better preservation. Amino-acid profiles of collagen and non-collagenous proteins suggest that such differential preservation may be due to physico-chemical differences, and help to explain the poor results from dating low-collagen bones.

Full textAbstract:
A prolonged preservation duration of blood specimens at 4 °C may occur due to the distance from collection points to storage facilities in many biobanks, especially for multicenter studies. This could lead to RNA degradation, affecting downstream analyses. However, effects of preservation durations at 4 °C on RNA quality in blood specimens need to be studied. We collected rabbit blood using EDTA tubes and stored them at 4 °C for different preservation durations. Then, we examined the quality of RNA from whole blood and leukocytes isolated from rabbit blood. Our results show that the purity of whole blood RNA and leukocyte RNA does not indicate significant change after rabbit blood is stored at 4 °C for different preservation durations (from 1 h to 7 days). The integrity of leukocyte RNA indicates the same result as above, but the integrity of whole blood RNA is significantly decreased after rabbit blood is stored at 4 °C for over 3 days. Moreover, expression of SMAD7, MKI67, FOS, TGFβ1 and HIF1α of whole blood RNA and leukocyte RNA remains basically stable, but PCNA expression of whole blood RNA or leukocyte RNA is significantly decreased after rabbit blood is stored at 4 °C for over 24 h or 7 days. Therefore, these results suggest that high-quality RNA is obtained from the fresher blood specimens and if blood specimens are stored for over 3 days at 4 °C, the quality of leukocyte RNA is more stable and of better quality than that of whole blood RNA.

Full textAbstract:
Advanced personalized medical diagnostics depend on the availability of high-quality biological samples. These are typically biofluids, such as blood, saliva, or urine; and their collection and storage is critical to obtain reliable results. Without proper temperature regulation, protein biomarkers in particular can degrade rapidly in blood samples, an effect that ultimately compromises the quality and reliability of laboratory tests. Here, we present the use of silk fibroin as a solid matrix to encapsulate blood analytes, protecting them from thermally induced damage that could be encountered during nonrefrigerated transportation or freeze–thaw cycles. Blood samples are recovered by simple dissolution of the silk matrix in water. This process is demonstrated to be compatible with a number of immunoassays and provides enhanced sample preservation in comparison with traditional air-drying paper approaches. Additional processing can remediate interactions with conformational structures of the silk protein to further enhance blood stabilization and recovery. This approach can provide expanded utility for remote collection of blood and other biospecimens empowering new modalities of temperature-independent remote diagnostics.

Collection of proper autopsy specimen and preservation are essential stepsfor the toxicological analysis in Forensic Medicine. Faulty collection and preservation of the specimens/samples can greatly alter or negate forensic chemical or toxicologicalexamination. In forensic toxicology practicein Bangladesh, postmortem specimen that is subjected to toxicological examinations generally focusing on mainly blood and sometimes urine or other fuds from different body cavities. Analysis of blood from different anatomical sites and tissue samples and urine may assist in the interpretation of the postmortem results. However, in many postmortem cases, there is little or no blood for quantitative drug analysis, or there might be such traumatic injury which led to significant blood loss or there is possibility of contamination form contents of the ruptured stomach. Besides, analysis of urine reveals negative result, if death occurs closely the time of intoxication. Given the circumstances, brain tissue may be a valuable specimen in postmortem toxicological analysis. The position of the brain in the body secures a tremendous protection and isolation which can eliminates or at least attenuates many of the interpretive challenges with postmortem blood, urine or other fluid specimens.This review paper is an update on the standard methods of brain tissue specimen collection and preservationprocedures for toxicological analysis and its value as well as advantages over other specimens, which might be of possible interest for forensic professionals in the country.

Collecting and preserving heritage materials across the broad spectrum of the performing arts on a national scale is a daunting task. Much of the material is as ephemeral and as transitory as the theatrical experience itself. In Australia there is a realistic acceptance of the need for a distributed national collection. An active network of individuals and institutions are working to ensure the preservation of the country’s performing arts heritage and to enhance access to those collections, increasingly by electronic means.

The performance of hematological tests deteriorates with the increase in the length of sample preservation. Therefore it has been an issue to characterize the maximum permissible period spent between blood collection and measurement to have the acceptable test report. From this view point, a study was undertaken to know about the effect of preservation length on complete blood count (CBC) in rat of Long Evans strain. A total of 30 samples were collected from 10 apparently healthy rats aged between 45-48 days and the blood samples were kept in commercial test tubes treated with EDTA. The test tubes containing whole blood samples were divided into three different groups based on preservation length and were allowed to keep at 4ºC for three different lengths of time viz. 2 hours, 4 hours and 6 hours until analysis. The samples were then analyzed for their complete blood count (TEC, TLC, Hb, PCV, DLC, Absolute Leukocyte Count, Red Cell Indices, RDW-SD, RDWCV, Platelet, MPV, PCT and PDW) using Sysmex XT-1800i auto hematological analyzer. Result showed that no significant change in CBC with the variation in preservation length. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that blood samples can be preserved for as long as 6 hours to have the same report obtainable when the samples are preserved at 4ºC in refrigerated condition for 2 or 4 hours.

Full textAbstract:
The Australian Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service (ARCBTS) in Western Australian faces a major problem with periodic shortages of blood components. These shortages are expected to become more frequent and severe as demand continues to increase at a faster rate than supply. Given that only five percent of the population is registered as blood donors, clearly, the challenge for the ARCBTS is to encourage more people to become regular blood donors. The current study was undertaken to assist the ARCBTS in achieving this goal, by identifying and investigating the factors that influence people's willingness to donate blood. Based on the findings of a literature review and focus groups, a conceptual model of "willingness to donate blood" was developed. The model included personal values, knowledge about blood donation, perceived risks associated with donating blood, and attitudes towards blood donation, as antecedents to willingness to donate.

The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge of college students with regard to blood donation in order to be able to create an education program to recruit new donors. After creating a table of specifications, a questionnaire was designed and reviewed by a jury of experts, and then tested in a pilot study. In the final study, 782 usable questionnaires were completed; the majority of students from the convenience sample were female (60.9%), under the age of 21 (93.1%), white (86.2%), non-Hispanic (95.8%), and had earned some college credits (61.4%).The data were analyzed using mean, t-tests, and ANOVA to test five null hypotheses. The overall knowledge (60%) of the subjects was less (M = 13.11 out of a possible 22) than anticipated. Statistically significant differences in knowledge of blood donation was found between college males and females (p < 0 .028), among students by education level (p < 0.047), and among students who were frequent, occasional, and nondonors (p < 0.000). No difference was found in the knowledge of blood donation among students by age.Department of Physiology and Health Science

Objective: To describe and compare the characteristics of blood donors and non-donors and to examine factors associated with donation, including motivators and barriers of blood donation in Guangzhou, China.
Design: Cross-sectional survey using self-administered standardized structured questionnaires on both donors and non-donors.
Setting: 12 mobile and 4 permanent blood donation stations in Guangzhou during the whole operation time.
Participants: 500 blood donors who donated at the donation sites and 500 non-donors who never donated and passed by the station were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire during Dec 10, 2013 to Jun 25, 2014.
Main outcome measures: Blood donation or no donation.
Results: 1080 questionnaires were collected, of which 1034(95.7%) questionnaires were valid. 602(58.2%) participants were donors and 432(41.8%) were non-donors. Older people (OR: 1.46, 95% confidence interval: 1.24 to 1.72, p<0.01), males (1.33, CI: 1.02 to 1.71, p=0.03), non-college-students (1.76, CI: 1.16 to 2.56, p<0.01) and people with higher education level (1.27, CI: 1.11 to 1.45, p<0.01) were more likely to be donors. The main objective of blood donation was helping patients (n=405, 68.2%), and the main reason of not donating was being in poor health (n=138, 33.1%).
However, other motives, such as benefiting health and free check for blood type and body, and obstacles, such as failing to meet the requirements and fear, were also important. More male donors would donate again than females (80.5% vs. 68.5%, p<0.01), whereas more female donors showed uncertainty than males (25.9% vs. 16.6%, p<0.01). Usage of blood (n=182, 46.7%) was what non-donors wanted to know the most if they were to donate in the future. The majority of participants (n=730, 71.3%) considered raising the awareness of blood donation among people was one of the most effective ways of blood donation promotion. Television was considered as one of the most effective methods of blood donation promotion and recruitment, and was more acceptable to females. Younger participants preferred the internet.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that raising the awareness of blood donation is vital. Campaigns should focus on multiple aspects targeting different groups of people. Television and the internet are useful tools of blood donation promotion and recruitment.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
Collecting blood from repeat blood donors is cost effective and safer compared to other donor types. At the end of 2012, 84% of the SANBS donor panel were inactive or lapsed. There is a lack of research available on lapsed donors in the South African context and available research is mostly quantitative with subtle contradictions. Donors who donated blood in 2012 at fixed site donor centres in Port Elizabeth, and did not return in 2013, were studied. A descriptive analysis was done and a random sample of 78 lapsed donors were selected to participate in a face-to-face interview. Interviews were digitally recorded and transcribed. A grounded model was developed from various existing theories to seek out and conceptualise social patterns and structures of lapsed blood donors through a process of comparison. There were 10 062 donors who donated blood in 2012 and 4 923 became lapsed during 2013. Analysis of sub groups showed a higher proportion of donors who became lapsed in the following sub-categories: new donors (95%), re-joined donors (64%), black donors (63%), donors younger than 40 (61%), female donors (52%). The feedback received from the 11 participants highlighted peer pressure as the biggest motivator. Of the six communication theories applied, The Social Penetration Theory highlighted the cost-minus-benefit ratio which played a big role in a donor’s motivation and decision to return. The AIDA Marketing Model application described lapsed donor behaviour most comprehensively and it highlighted a missing step which was created as part of a Grounded Model and is called the AIDAA Model. The role and existence of peer pressure is directly linked to donor motivation and is categorised as an Action Motivator in the AIDAA Model. The new model creates additional recruitment opportunities which has not been explored and applied strategically before.

Full textAbstract:
Dried blood spots is an alternative method to collect blood samples from research subjects. However, little is known about how hemoglobin and hematocrit affect bead-based multiplex assay performance. The purpose of this study was to determine how bead-based multiplex assays perform when analyzing dried blood spot samples. A series of four experiments outline the study each with a specific purpose. A total of 167 subject samples were collected and 92 different biomarkers were measured. Median fluorescence intensity results show a positive correlation between filtered and non-filtered samples. Utilizing a smaller quantity of sample results in a positive correlation to a larger sample. Removal of hemoglobin from the dried blood spot sample does not increase detection or concentration of biomarkers. Of the 92 different biomarkers measured 56 were detectable in 100-75% of the attempted samples. We conclude that blood biomarkers can be detected using bead-based multiplex assays. In addition, it is possible to utilize a smaller quantity of sample while avoiding the use of the entire sample, and maintaining a correlation to the total sample. While our method of hemoglobin was efficient it also removed the biomarkers we wished to analyze. Thus, an alternative method is necessary to determine if removing hemoglobin increases concentration of biomarkers. More research is necessary to determine if the biomarkers measured in this study can be measured over time or within an experimental model.

Thesis (MTech (Biomedical Technology))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016.Biochemical and haematological changes occur in red blood cellular products during the recommended storage period of 35 to 42 days at 1°C to 6°C. The restriction of the sodium/potassium pump at specified temperatures result in low intracellular potassium ion levels while an increase in sodium ion levels are observed and acidosis occurs as a result of low pH concentrations due to glucose consumption. Structural and morphological changes occur such as the release of free haemoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase and potassium into the supernatant causing the formation of spheroechinocytes and osmotic fragility. All these factors negatively impact the rheological properties of blood. These changes that transpire in the red cells during the storage period are referred to as “storage lesions”. Transfusion-associated graft versus host disease is an immunological and often fatal adverse transfusion reaction with gamma irradiation of cellular blood products used as a preventative measure. Gamma irradiation exacerbates storage lesions and of particular concern has been the increased potassium levels resulting in neonatal and infant hyperkalaemia. The storage lesions occurring in non-irradiated red blood cellular products are well documented although the literature regarding its irradiated counterparts has been less studied. A study of this nature has not previously been done in Cape Town, South Africa.

Abstract: The factor VIII (FVIII), the von Willebrand factor (vWF) and the fibrinogen are extremely important to the blood clotting process, with various physiological functions. Because it contains high concentrations of these factors and fibrinogen, transfusing cryoprecipitate is a therapy mainly used in patients who have von Willebrand disease, Hemophilia A (FVIII deficiency), or who suffer from hypo/dysfibrinogenemia. This hemocomponent is a precipitate obtained after the partial thawing process (between 1 and 6ºC) of fresh frozen plasma, and which is also known as the anti-hemophilic factor. Studies have demonstrated that the cryoprecipitate freezing and storage protocol affects the product quality as well as these factors viability. In order to evaluate the canine cryoprecipitate viability in different freezing and storage protocols, two groups containing 10 units of canine cryoprecipitate (n=20) were evaluated. Following the blood centrifugation, the fresh plasma was frozen at -80ºC (group I) and at -20ºC (group II). Twenty-four hours after freezing the blood bags, they were submitted to the cryoprecipitate extraction procedure. The cryoprecipitate from both groups of blood bags were submitted to the TP, TTPA, FVIII, FvW and fibrinogen determination process, at time zero and after six months of storage. During the collections, triple plastic blood bags were used, along with the anticoagulant CPDA-1, being the main bag capacity of 450 mL of whole blood (JP Indústria Farmacêutica®). After having the cryoprecipitate properly ready, an approximately 5 mL aliquot of cryoprecipitate was separated into cryovials to be analysed pre-storage and six months after storage. However, there was no significant difference between treatments, demonstrating that the difference in initial freezing temperature did not influence the decrease of the factors after six months storage at -20°C

Full textAbstract:
The Papuan Official Collection is a unique colonial collection assembled between 1907 and 1938 by government officers of the Australian administration of the Territory of Papua. It represents the first instance in the world where a colonial government made ethnographic collecting a requisite duty of its field officers. This unusual turn of events came at the insistence of Papua's first and longest serving Lieutenant-Governor, J.H.P. Murray, who administered the colony for over three decades. The story of how Murray came to establish an official government collection, and its subsequent formation, interpretation, and display over several decades, provides a case study par excellence for examining the complex relationship between colonialism, collecting and anthropology, which emerged over the course of the twentieth century. This study explores the genesis and history of the Papuan Official Collection, and situates it within the wider rubric of Australian colonialism. It establishes Murray as one of the earliest colonial governors in the world to implement, and publically advocate for, anthropology as a tool for colonial administration. It charts the rise of colonial discourses that linked loss of culture to physical demise in Pacific populations, and documents its influence on Australian colonial policy. Its findings suggest that the protection, preservation and management of Indigenous cultural heritage should not be considered a sideline of Australian colonial policy in Papua, but rather one of its most defining features. Over the course of its lifespan the Papuan Official Collection has been displayed in four different museums providing an opportunity to examine how a fixed body of objects (the collection) moved across time and space, to be re-interpreted into different conceptual frameworks: as curios and antiquities; ethnographic artefacts; scientific specimens; artworks; and, finally, as historic objects. My institutional history of the POC cautions against the assumption that colonial collections were always used as uncontested propaganda, which metropolitan museums were content to display on behalf of the imperial mission. While the Murray administration in Papua was able to provide goods and information to the various museums which housed the Collection, each institution had its own competing agendas and the relationship was not always a smooth one.

namely paganism and early Christianity, and the discourses of the secular and rational,
the principal of which are antiquarianism and archaeology. Since the mid-nineteenth
century archaeology has secured for itself official recognition as the proper knowledge
of the material past.
Archaeology is now to be found practised in almost every part of the world. The
transfer of the discourses of archaeology and art history from the West to the non-
West has, not surprisingly, included the transfer of the conservation ethic. While the
conservation ethic has attained a foothold at a government and elite level in the non-
West it appears to have little constituency at a local and non-elite level. In Thailand I
have looked at Buddhism and animism as systems of knowledge about the material
past and have found beliefs and practices which honour the spiritual essence of ancient
remains but rarely seek to conserve their material fabric.
In Australia the European conception of Aboriginal heritage is implicated in a
primitivist longing for a 'traditional', unchanging Aboriginal culture in which
authenticity is partly equated within pastness. Archaeology established its primacy in
Australia by mixing its discourse with the discourse of heritage. It now finds its
position destabilized as Aborigines themselves borrow elements of the same discourse
in a counter-appropriation of their 'archaeological' cultural property.
The universality of the conservation ethic is manifestly spurious. The West, in its
bid to domesticate the past of the Other World, allies itself with the non-Western state.
The state draws upon the material past as a resource for nation-building,
monumentalizing the past also in the interests of legitimizing present political
arrangements. This alliance of interests is fundamentally anti-religious. Its programme
of 'conserving' ancient sites cuts across local practices.

Full textAbstract:
Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HH) is a disorder where iron and ferritin concentrations in a patient's blood are much higher than normal healthy levels. The main therapeutic intervention for individuals with HH is removing 300-500 mL of blood every few months to maintain ferritin concentration within acceptable ranges. The blood collected during these venesections is usually discarded as there is a belief that blood with high levels of ferritin are not suitable for blood transfusion purposes. Australian Red Cross Blood Services voluntarily collects blood from donors for subsequent use in blood transfusion. Annually more than 700 thousand units are transfused within Australia and there is a constant need for new donors given the significant imbalance between supply and demand of blood products. Besides red cell transfusions, the Red Cross also issues donor blood for development of many other blood products essential for patient health care. The HH blood can currently be used for other blood products if not for red cell transfusion. However, there is evidence to suggest that there is no significant difference between the red cells of the normal healthy population compared to those from HH patients. Australian Red Cross has developed a mobile computer application (High Ferritin “app”) as they have started collecting blood from HH patients. Though there is little or no awareness about the existence and use of this High Ferritin app in general HH population, their doctors and nurses collecting their blood for therapeutic purposes. This chapter describes possibility of saving and utilizing the blood collected from hemochromatosis patients for therapeutic purposes. A national hemochromatosis patients registry, in collaboration with High Ferritin app (HFa) developed by Australian Red Cross Blood Services, accessible to the patients, their doctors and Red Cross Blood Collection Sservices 24 hours a day anywhere in the country can allow the patients to donate the blood collected for therapeutic purposes at any affiliated blood collection center in the country after they automatically get a message either by email or text message after their blood results have been reviewed by their doctor and they are required to go for venesection.
