I found this article very interesting because something related with medice is occuring in our country, exactly in the North part.
The article is about blood storage and the consecuences of using it after to be stored more than 29 days. These consecuences might be: blood stream infections, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, heart valve infections, and other kinds of diseases.
The interesting thing is that after being too much time stored, red blood cells experience changes like the release of biochemical substances called cytokines, that make patients become more vulnerable to infections, according to what researchers said.
Dispite of being exposed to this small risk, patients have to aware that benefits are many more.
Through the reading of this article I could learn these new words:
Taint: To affect with or as if with a disease.
Render: To surrender or relinquish.
