Effect of Shotblocker on Venipuncture Pain among Blood Donors: A Randomized Controlled Trial
...Show More Authors

ABSTRACT Background: Blood donation is process obtaining, analyzing, preparing, and preserving blood and its many components essential for life-saving that enhances health and lowers mortality rates. Despite the fact that giving blood is frequently demonstrated to be a voluntary service, certain studies highlight a number of factors that affect blood donations such as Gender, past donor experiences including syncopal reactions, venipuncture pain, anxiety, and donor satisfaction, all have an impact on the decision to donate blood.in addition, one of the main reasons donors reject to donate blood is pain associated with venipuncture. Aim: Evaluate the effectiveness of shotblocker on pain during venipuncture in adult blood donors compared to control group. Methods: A randomized control trial (one control group and one study groups) conducted on 50 blood donors were selected randomly by simple random sampling at mean blood bank center during 2023. Data were collected by using visual analogue scale (VAS). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in data analysis. Results: Showed that there are statistically significant differences between (shotblocker and control groups) regarding pain score with venipuncture among blood donors. The study concluded that shotblocker have an effect in reducing pain resulting from venipuncture procedure for adult blood donors compared with control group. Conclusion: The study concluded that shotblocker has an effect in reducing pain resulting from venipuncture procedure for adult blood donors compared with control group. Also, concluded there is no significant statistical difference between shotblocker and demographic characteristic regarding pain resulting from venipuncture procedure in adult blood donors. The researcher recommends to conduct future studies to apply shotblocker in one group, so the effect of each technique can be assessed in each blood donors. This will help to reduce the bias regarding the subjectivity of pain sensation among study groups. in other hand, it is recommended to use shotblocker before the needle insertion among blood donors to reduce the pain.

Effect of gold nanoparticles synthesis by plasma jet scheme on normal cell lines
...Show More Authors

New evidence on nanotechnology has shown interest in the creation and assessment of nanoparticles for cancer treatment. Worldwide, a wide range of tumor-targeted approaches are being developed to reduce side effects and boost the efficacy of cancer therapy. One strategy that shows promise is the use of metallic nanoparticles to increase the radio sensitization of the cancer cells while reducing or maintaining the normal tissue complication probability during radiation therapy. In this study, atmospheric plasma was created using argon gas to create Au NPs using the plasma jet scheme, and their ability to induce apoptosis as an anticancer mechanism was tested. Aqueous gold tetrachloride salts (HAuCl4·3H2O) ere used to produce gold nanopartic

A General Overview on the Categories of Image Features Extraction Techniques: A Survey
...Show More Authors

In the image processing’s field and computer vision it’s important to represent the image by its information. Image information comes from the image’s features that extracted from it using feature detection/extraction techniques and features description. Features in computer vision define informative data. For human eye its perfect to extract information from raw image, but computer cannot recognize image information. This is why various feature extraction techniques have been presented and progressed rapidly. This paper presents a general overview of the feature extraction categories for image.

The effect of using polyolefin fiber on some properties of slurry-infiltrated fibrous concrete
...Show More Authors
Abstract<p>Slurry-infiltrated fibrous concrete (SIFCON) is a special type of concrete that has great strength, as well as high ductility. However, the unit weight is high, which exceeds the unit weight of fiber-reinforced concrete, because of the high fiber content. This research aims to verify the compressive and flexural strength, as well as the density of SIFCON when using two different fibers (steel and polyolefin). Sometimes mono type of fiber steel or polyolefin, sometimes by hybridizing two types of fiber steel + polyplefin. Volume fraction (6% for all species) was used. Hook-end steel fiber and polyolefin fiber are used. With hybridization, a total volume fraction of 6% was used, which </p> ... Show More
