Thank you for organizing this contest! As my brother, Dr. @huzaifanaveed1 , pointed out, the clinical case presented might be a bit advanced for those without a medical background. While the scenario is undoubtedly educational for medical students or professionals, the heavy use of abbreviations (like UFC-LM, CFU-L, etc.) and medical terms (such as nephropathy, glomerular filtration rate, and glycemia) can make it difficult for others to follow. Even with my medical background, I found the dense use of short forms and lack of explanations for certain terms a bit overwhelming.

To make the case more accessible, it might be beneficial to limit the use of abbreviations or provide clear explanations for them. Additionally, incorporating a flowchart or diagram to visualize the process of hematopoiesis could help readers better grasp the broader aspects before diving into the specifics.

Regarding the clinical case, I noticed that the connection between diabetes and blood loss isn’t clearly explained. Also, terms like glycemia, creatinine, and glomerular filtration rate could confuse those who aren’t familiar with them. It’s crucial to include Hemoglobin (Hb) levels when discussing a CBC in the context of blood loss.

Lastly, I agree with Dr. Huzaifa’s suggestion to include the patient’s blood type in the case, making the question about blood donation compatibility more challenging and educational. This would test the students’ understanding of the ABO and Rh blood groups and add depth to the exercise.

Looking forward to seeing how this contest evolves and happy to contribute where I can
