1. Blood Transfusion-transmitted Infections: A Global Perspective
   09-30-2006 · ScienceDaily
   Thanks to the many blood-safety interventions introduced since 1984, the overall risk for most transfusion-transmitted infections has become exceedingly small. In the September 28 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, Canadian medical experts put into perspective the continuing risk of transfusion-transmitted infections as well as the possible safety interventions that might reduce that risk even further, particularly those due to emerging agents including variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) the human counterpart to mad cow disease.

3. Self-regulation abilities, beyond intelligence, play major role in early achievement
   03-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Young children's "self regulation" abilities, such as shifting and focusing attention, have been found to account for greater variation in early academic success than measures of intelligence. This study examined how the development of self-regulation is associated with emerging math and literacy ability in kindergarten. One particular aspect of self-regulation was particularly associated with early ability in math. Some children may be at risk of early school failure due to slower development of self-regulation abilities.

6. An emerging candidate for protecting patients from liver injury after abdomen surgery
   01-16-2008 · EurekAlert!
   Major abdomen surgery or intestine transplantation initiates gut ischemia and reperfusion. This leads to hepatic microcirculatory disturbance and liver injury, a manifestation that influences significantly the outcome of the operation or transplantation and patients' quality of life. Attenuating hepatic microcirculatory disturbance and liver injury resulting from gut I/R has been a great challenge for clinicians. A research group in China found application of Ginsenosaide Rb1 may be an alternative choice for this purpose.
