Effectiveness of blood donor questionnaire directed at risk factor for transfusion transmitted infections in Pakistani population

Background: Deferring blood donors who admit to high-risk behavior on questioning are likely to eliminate those in window period for transfusion transmitted infections (TTI).However, many questions have been implemented in some countries as part of donor history questionnaire, based on precautionary principle and not on evidence, and can result in

Attenuation of eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage conferred by maximal isometric contractions: a mini review

Although beneficial in determined contexts, eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) might be unwanted during training regimens, competitions and daily activities.There are a vast number of studies investigating strategies to attenuate EIMD response after damaging exercise bouts.Many of them consist of performing exercises that induce EIMD,
