Human premature babies born with underdeveloped lungs are already being exposed to gaseous NO to help their tissues get the oxygen they need. For now, the American Red Cross, which oversees the 14 million units of stored blood, is awaiting more studies before changing its processing and storage practices...
...Speaking Out If the developed world does not always do a good job of keeping itself well, health-care leaders there do understand that to fix the diseases you've got, you first have to talk about them.
