New results validating Pall prion reduction filter disclosed at ISBT Congress
Safety in transfusion medicine is an ongoing challenge to blood services worldwide as new threats, such as variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD), emerge. An update on the latest measures to protect the public from the human form of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), commonly called Mad Cow Disease, and minimize risk of transmission through blood transfusion was presented here at the Inter...Transfusion expert urges wider use of filtered blood
Filtering white cells from donor blood before a transfusion is much safer for patients and long overdue as a national standard for all surgical procedures, according to University of Rochester researchers who present their analysis in the April journal, Transfusion. The practice of removing the white cells from blood is called leukoreduction. But despite the recommendations of two national...Math that powers spam filters used to understand how brain learns to move our muscles

Contradicting the age-old conception that memory capacity is solely dependent on how much information you can cram into the brain, a recent research demonstrates that //filtering out useless information can help people increase their capacity to remember what is really important. The study, which appears in the Nov. 24 issue of the prestigious journal Nature, demonstrates that awarenes...Brain Filters Sensory Information
Dr. Randy Flanagan, a Queen's psychologist has revealed that the impact of tickling is reduced when one practices it on himself. Dr. Flanagan is engaged in exploring the sensory attenuation which involves canceling the unnecessary information we are subject to. //The Public Library of Science (PloS) – Biology journal has published this report. It is not possible for a person to tickle himself as...Bicycle-Powered Portable Water Filter System For Disaster Zones
Researchers have developed a portable water filtration system, powered by bicycle that can be used in disaster zones//. The Nanyang Technological University's (NTU) institute of environmental science and engineering unveiled the unit, consisting of a bicycle coupled with a mechanical pump and a membrane module to filter the water. Believed to be the world's first, NTU exper...Fresh Water Algae Filtered Out With Water Filtration Technique
Ohio State University study has found that a water filtration technique which is used to clean up agricultural chemicals is proving beneficial in removing a toxin //produced by an algae found in lakes and rivers. Engineers are extremely happy with this technique, far more efficient than any other method, with a 95% success rate of removal of the toxins. Some water filtration plants a...Storz Fluid Filter - 0.2 micron
