Q:

Blood group compatibility for marriage?

Answer

Matching blood group before marriage is important. This is to prevent Rh incompatibility. Rh incompatibility can lead to erythroblastosis fetalis (Hemolytic disease of the newborn-HDN). Fetal RBC gets destroyed & newborn may get severe anaemia, jaundice. This jaundice is more severe than Physiological jaundice ( which is the most common and will usually resolve on its own).


 


In very severe form, a fetus may die due to heart failure. This is mediated by the antigen-antibodies reaction. Transfer of maternal antibodies across the placenta occurs. This happens when Rh +ve man marries Rh-ve lady.


  


So Rh +ve man should try to avoid marrying Rh-ve lady.


 


Matching blood groups for marriage ::


Boy : A = Girl : A & AB 


Boy : B = Girl : B & AB 


Boy : O = Girl : O, A, B & AB 


Boy : AB = Girl : AB 


Boy : Rh+ve = Girl : Rh+ve 


Boy : Rh-ve = Girl : Rh+ve & Rh-ve.


  


Blood groups that do not match for marriage ::


Boy : A = Girl : O & B 


Boy : B = Girl : O & A 


Boy : AB = Girl : O, A & B 


Boy : Rh+ve = Girl : Rh-ve.

Q:

The hot holding temperature for potentially hazardous foods must be

A) not less than 60 deg B) less than 60 deg
C) less than 5 deg D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) not less than 60 deg

Explanation:

Potentially hazardous foods are foods that might contain food poisoning bacteria and are capable of supporting growth of these bacteria or formation of toxins to levels that are unsafe for consumers, if the foods are not stored at correct temperatures. Toxins are poisonous chemicals produced by some types of bacteria.


The food can be left at room temperature until it reaches 60 deg C because food-poisoning bacteria will not multiply at 60 deg C or above. However, do not leave food cooling at room temperature unless you are sure that the temperature of the food is still at least above 60 C.
