The Health Fund of Greater Cleveland has just begun sending around, along with its normal mobile blood-collecting unit, the nation's first auxiliary van equipped with a freeze-centrifuge apparatus. And recently Dr. Kenneth M. Brinkhous, a blood scientist at the University of North Carolina, collaborated with Dr. Edward Shanbrom of the Hyland (Los Angeles) division of Baxter Laboratories to perfect a new AHF six or seven times as strong as Dr. Pool's cryoprecipitate. The new preparation, 30 to 50 times as active as plasma...
