Best wishes for a Happy New Year to the many regular Health Watch readers and all the thoughtful folks who sent holiday greeting cards. What a nice surprise! I'm going to tackle a new year of Health Watch with greater vigor knowing so many people are out there as readers. We're in the midst of a series on blood. It is helpful to understand how blood is collected, screened, and stored. Collection of blood is an extremely important and necessary function. Without the availability of blood, surgery would either be very difficult or impossible. ALSO. THE USE of blood in the treatment of accidents, trauma, and medical conditions such as anemia would be hindered. There is no question that many tens of thousands would die without the available resource we refer to as blood. Blood banks. serve the

vital purpose of collecting, separating, screening, typing, storing, and coordinating the nation's blood supply. Blood collection facilities screeen donors and their blood so as to eliminate those with contagious diseases, or those for whom it would be unsafe to donate. CONDITIONS WHICH might cause a blood bank to turn away a donor would include recent .hepatitis, syphylis, malaria, severe anemia, and advanced age. Nowadays a history of intravenous drug abuse, homosexuality, or hemophilia, or Haitian origin would prompt a blood bank to decline a donation. A blood bank is actually concerned with obtaining blood and bldod products from individuals and packaging them in forms that will be useful to the recipients. AS WE 'previously discussed, blood is separated into its components. red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets i to clot the blood ) . plasma, and certain blood factors needed by individuals defi- . cient in these, with names . like Factor 8. Some blood is frozen or even washed so that it will last longer or be more pure. Blood is typed into the major classes A. B. AB, O. Also, various panels of

tlie major protein determinants on the surface of the blood are screened. These are referred to as scleciagens and they help us closely match one person's blood to another's. BLOOD BANKS also handle requests for rare type bloods and unusual needs of hospitals for large quantities of blood at odd hours. Actually there is a national and regional blood banking system for sharing blood resources of one area with another. Individuals with unusual blood types are kept on record so that in case of

emergency need there are people to contact with the same type. To date there is no syni thetic substitute for blood, like that recently developed for insulin. • BLOOD CAN be produced only by other humans. 1 Accordingly everyone is asked to donate if at all 1 possible to insure the adequacy or our blood pool. I One never knows if he/she 1 will one day require blood i in an emergency. Giving blood is a way we I , can help others who are in i a less fortunate position. F This is why for example, back line troup6 give blood so it can be available to the front line in times of war. Next week we will discuss anemia. Health Watch is a public education project of the Cape May County Unit of ' the American Cancer Society, of which Dr. Beitman is president.
