Validation of a Polymerase Chain Reaction technique for Kidd blood group genotyping
No full textThe Kidd blood group antigens, Jkª and Jkᵇ , are two of the
main surface markers which are found on the membrane of red blood
cells. The determination of whether a donor or a recipient has the
Jkª and/or the Jkᵇ antigens is crucially important to have a successful
transfusion without the development of adverse incompatibility-related
reactions. In Malta, routine serological-based tests are applied with
the purpose of differentiating between homozygous and heterozygous
states for the Jk antigens respectively. Although these tests are
highly specific and sensitive, there are particular clinical scenarios
where haemagglutination assays are not suitable for determining the
individual’s Kidd blood group status. Additionally, the alternative
genotyping procedure has never been applied in Malta within the
context of blood grouping. The current study was therefore carried out
to determine whether a molecular-based technique such as Polymerase
Chain Reaction – Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism analysis
(PCR-RFLP) is a suitable alternative procedure for distinguishing
amongst the three different Kidd phenotypes. After extracting
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from 50 blood samples obtained from
serologically-tested healthy blood donors who expressed at least one of
the Kidd antigens, PCR-RFLP analyses were carried out. The results
of the latter were then compared with those previously obtained with
haemagglutination and a complete match was observed between the
two. Therefore, this PCR-RFLP method was confirmed as a suitable
alternative laboratory technique that can be used to determine
efficiently the Kidd blood group of both donors and recipients, in an
accurate manner without subjectivity as encountered in the case of
haemagglutination. This research further facilitates the introduction of
molecular-based techniques in molecular blood transfusion.peer-reviewe
Dustin Kidd: Pop Culture Freaks [Audio interview]
No full textDustin Kidd published Pop Culture Freaks: Identity, Mass Media, and Society in 2014 with Westview Press. It’s a hybrid work that combines original research, theoretical and methodological perspectives, and some of the features you might find in a textbook, like infographics and recommended readings. Professor Kidd’s focus is on the popular culture generated by the concentrated corporate mass media, whose revenue model is dependent on rising consumption. One particularly striking insight in this interview was Professor Kidd’s analysis of the changes in TV programming over the past 25 years. In his opinion, sitcoms of the 1970s and 1980s – All in the Family, The Jeffersons – prepared young people for their eventual entry into the work world. By contrast, today’s programs prepare young people to fulfill their role as consumers. As the retail sector has become more important to the overall health of the economy, everyone must be encouraged to consume. Corporate popular culture creates the matrix within which individuals are conditioned to continually seek out new products, new adventures, and new identities. Shop until you drop. Dustin Kidd analyzes the role that race, class, gender, sexuality, and disability play in popular culture, not only in the actual cultural artifacts, like TV programs and films, but also in their creation and then consumption. The fracturing of identity, the privileging of some identities over others, and the yearning for wholeness engendered by this phantasmagoria of identity turns us all into freaks. As our sense of inadequacy ebbs and flows, we search out something to buy in order to feel temporarily at peace. But it doesn’t last long.

Frank Kidd Jr. Interview, 25 February 2013
No full textFrank Kidd Jr., born in 1935, has been a resident of Cleveland his whole life. His parents were originally from the south (Alabama and Mississippi), but moved to Cleveland to seek refuge from the brutal racism that still lingered post-slavery. Kidd lived most of his childhood with his grandmother, as his father served in the army. He looks fondly back on many aspects of his childhood and teen years. Kidd is a strong advocate for the Cedar-Central area and aims to improve the neighborhood through his various influential programs, most notably save the children . In 2010, the mayor awarded Kidd with a key to the city for his inspiring efforts. He moved to the neighborhood with his wife and children, because his kids had asthma and needed steamed heating, which was provided in these specific residencies. Kidd recalls how the area formerly thrived in various ways. He really wants to bring back the vibrancy in the neighborhood that he remembers seeing as he watched his children grow up. Of the many generational changes that have influenced the area\u27s decline, Kidd is most disturbed by the lack of a father in the average household. He believes that, without a father, future generations will not move forward. Kidd wants children being raised in Cleveland today to possess the fond memories he has
