Blood is one of the most important biological evidence found at a crime scene. In a violent crime , the blood sample obtained may belong to the victim, the suspect(murderer) or any other eyewitness. A proper analysis of blood samples obtained at a crime scene may contribute to clarify the circumstances under which the crime would have been committed. The information obtained by studying the blood sample may point the criminal investigation in the right direction and can help solve the crime. Hematology refers to the study of blood and it can play an important tool in analysing the crime. The blood analysis begins with the presumptive tests to confirm that a given sample is blood. Then precipitin technology may be used to find the species to which the blood belongs. Methods like DNA fingerprinting may be used to match the blood at crime scene with the blood of suspect to get a step closer to finding the criminal. We report here few of the analysis of blood that can be done to possibly fasten the process of case solving and find the right criminal.

Background: People with sickle cell disease (SCD) seek health care services quite often as the condition is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has imposed diversion of health care attentions and resources from the usual demands. COVID-19 cases have occupied health care facilities, providers as well as care planners. This has affected the already dire state of SCD management in Sub Sahara Africa (SSA). It is necessary to look at options that have been examined and demonstrated to reduce the prevalence of SCD. The purpose of this review is to present prospects and methods that could be useful in reducing prevalence of SCD. Methodology: The aims of the review were to document and discuss the methods that have been applied to reduce the prevalence of SCD so as to prospect for use in SSA. A review of the literature and targeting studies, presentations and information on control of SCD. The sources used were PubMed, PubMed Central, Google Scholar, and African Index Medicus. Bases of selection were any aspect of control of SCD by educational, counseling, awareness, prevention, testing and providing information. The prospects are explored, discussed and presented in this article.
背景:镰状细胞病(SCD)患者经常寻求医疗保健服务,因为这种疾病与高发病率和死亡率有关。COVID-19大流行的出现导致医疗保健注意力和资源从通常的需求中转移。COVID-19病例占据了卫生保健设施、提供者和护理规划人员。这影响了撒哈拉以南非洲(SSA)本已严峻的SCD管理状况。有必要研究已经经过检验和证明的减少SCD患病率的选择。本综述的目的是提出可能有助于降低SCD患病率的前景和方法。方法:本综述的目的是记录和讨论已用于减少SCD患病率的方法,以便展望在SSA中的应用。综述了SCD控制的文献和靶向研究、报告和信息。使用的来源是PubMed, PubMed Central, Google Scholar和African Index Medicus。选择的基础是通过教育、咨询、意识、预防、检测和提供信息来控制SCD的任何方面。本文对其前景进行了探讨和展望。

Blood stream infection (BSI) and sepsis are life threatening conditions and early identification of pathogen with prompt intervention is important for patient management. Need for early diagnosis of sepsis has incredibly boosted the research for innovative biomarkers. The cellular and morphological characterization of cells is an indispensable part of hematology workup. The automated hematology analyzers are being routinely used for total cell counts and differential leukocyte analysis. But technological advancements in automated hematology analyzers have paved the way for many additional parameters which are capable of providing extended information to help clinicians and laboratory professionals. This review emphasizes the application of additional innovative parameters reported by modern hematology analyzers as a tool for early recognition of sepsis with impact on clinical practice.
