Dear Readers,
The theme for this week’s posts is blood. Blood is what makes
us who we are, yet there are still many things that we do not know
about it. What we do know is that blood is very delicate and over the
years, many mistakes have been made. First, we will examine the
“Heparin Scare” – an ongoing widespread contamination of a popular
blood-thinner (heparin) that has resulted in many injuries and four possible deaths.
Then, you can learn about the latest study on blood transfusion
storage methods, and why the FDA is reconsidering its previous
requirements.
Sincerely,
The Medinary Bloggers
