Dear Readers,

        The medical world is inundated with supposed revelations, life changing finds, and unparallelled discoveries, that are inexplicably concealed. Reading about cure after cure that all simply disappear or reach dead ends can become disappointing to say the least, especially for optimists who get their hopes up each time. This month, Medinary will be dedicated to concrete advancements; projects with evidence and funding that are truly making a difference, be it with equipment or research or anything in between. Rather than focusing on the past and the present, we will be focusing on the sure and coming future with a realistic approach.             

Sincerely,
The Medinary Bloggers

 P.S. Look out for H1N1 updates

The recent weeks have abounded with medical news. This includes a tuberculosis scare, a salmonella outbreak, and disputes over “cancer cures”. As a result, expect
three articles in the next few days.

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
