“…In contrast to our stud, Getta et al showed that BMI in regular donors was significantly higher than obtained in the first time donors (P < 0.001) [22]. It is possible that most people with higher BMI, advanced age and low physical activity tend to show an unfavorable plasma lipid profile that may predispose them to cardiovascular diseases.…”

Background: There is an important shortage of blood in the greatest blood banks worldwide to meet up with requirements for numerous medical interventions. Limited studies have associated regular blood donation to the lowering of lipid function parameters. Assessing the lipid function is a classical method of evaluating an individual's risk for coronary heart disease. Objective: The general goal of the study is to determine lipid and hematological profi le among blood donors in European Gaza Hospital, Palestine. Materials and Methods: This study was a case-control study that involved 120 male, 40 of whom were regular blood donors (study group), 40 fi rst time donors and 40 non-donors (control group) aged between 18-60 years. A volume of 5ml venous blood was drawn from each fasting participant into a dry biochemistry screw-capped tube. This was allowed to clot and the serum was used to determine total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), while HDL-C/ LDL-C and TC/LDL ratio were calculated by using the following formula. Anthropometric parameters (weight, height) of donors were measured using standard protocol. The height (in meter), weight (in kilogram) were used to calculate the body mass index (BMI) using the following formula. BMI= weight (kg)/ (height in meter)² and blood was collected from each participant in EDTA (for hematocrit, ESR). Three groups were matched for age and BMI. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23. Chi-square (χ²) was used to compare the relationship between categorical variables, ANOVA was used to measure the difference between means. Data were summarized using tables, pie charts, histograms. A P-value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically signifi cant for all tests conducted. Results: The mean total cholesterol (169±10.85 mg/dl), triglycerides (116±9.73 mg/ dl), HDL (54±2.5 mg/dl), LDL (92±11.4mg/dl), LDL/HDL ratio (1.73±0.25) and TC/HDL ratio (3.16±0.26) were lower in the regular blood donors than the fi rst time donors(198±10.13, 179±5.82, 42.33±1.6, 120±11.2, 2.85±0.36, 4.7±0.40) and non-donors (202±10.19, 180±12.68, 41.75±1.4, 125±11.7, 2.99±0.33, 4.86±0.32) respectively and statistically signifi cant (P < 0.05).The mean ESR (6.63±0.87mm/hr) was lower statistically signifi cant in the regular blood donors than the fi rst time donors (7.40±1.17) and non-donors (7.60±1.48) respectively (P < 0.05). The mean HCT (42.98±0.86%) was lower statistically signifi cant in the regular blood donors than the fi rst time donors (44.63±0.90) and non-donors (44.75±0.74, P < 0.05). Conclusion: Regular donors have reduced risk of developing coronary heart disease as refl ected by the low total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-c, LDL-c/HDL-c ratio, TC/HDL-c ratio and HCT and high HDL. BMI in regular donor was less than the donor for the fi rst time and did not donate, but did not reach the statistical signifi cance. Also in our study regular donors have reduced risk of developing infl ammation as refl ected by low...

“…plasma viscosity, Hct, and fibrinogen, and iron stores [5,27]. In this region, a recent study by Getta and Ahmad et al [28] investigated the purpose of blood donation and identified the main reasons for blood donations among regular donors were relieving headaches (45%), polycythemia, neck and shoulder pains, dizziness, insomnia, and sleepiness. While the reasons for donations by the first time donors were to help relatives (31%), it is evident that the benefits of blood donation outweighed its drawbacks.…”

Therapeutic phlebotomy also known as venesection or bloodletting is the therapeutic removal of blood from the body that has been practiced since ancient times to treat illnesses [1]. It began in Egypt around 3000 years ago then spread around the world [2, 3]. Its use gradually declined in the late 19th century and it was almost abandoned during the 20th century [4, 5]. In the past, bloodletting was practiced using lancets, cupping, and the application of leeches for localized bleeding to virtually treat illnesses [6, 5]. At present day, however, therapeutic phlebotomy is being used in modern medicine as an essential part of the treatment for various disorders including hemochromatosis, polycythemia vera and porphyria cutanea tarda [7]. Despite significant advances in conventional medicine, there is a high prevalence and increased public interest Background and objectives: Therapeutic phlebotomy is the removal of blood from the body that has been practiced since ancient time for treating illnesses. Recently, interest in wet-cupping to treat various hematological disorders particularly polycythemia in public has grown. The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of wet-cupping versus blood donation on hematological parameters. Methods: In this pre and post-test experimental study, a total of 60 healthy young adults were purposively assigned non-randomly either in cupping (n=30) or blood donation (n=30) groups. Blood samples were collected from all subjects to measure hematological parameters before and one week after interventions. Subjects of wet-cupping and blood donation were matched in age and baseline hematological parameters. The hematological parameters were analyzed using hematology analyzer (Symex, Japan). Results: The findings of the study showed a significant difference in hematological parameters of wet-cupping and blood donation including hemoglobin level (Hb) (14.87 g/dl vs. 14.39 g/dl), packed cell volume (PCV) (44.78 % vs. 42.91 %), and red blood cell (RBC) (5.27 1012/uL vs. 4.94 1012/uL), respectively. While the values of other parameters were not different significantly; mean cell volume (MCV) (85.15 fl vs. 86.95 fl), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) (28.31 pg vs. 29.20 pg), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) (33.24 g/dl vs. 33.57 g/dl), red cell distribution width (RDW) (12.53 % vs. 12.40 %), platelet (245.77 109/L vs. 246.27 109/L), and white blood cell (WBC) (7.47 109/ L vs. 7.47 109/L), respectively. Conclusion: The present study concluded that both wet-cupping and blood donation are effective interventions in reducing HB, PCV, and RBC along with increase platelets in blood donation only.
