| | Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Critically Ill Patients |
| | One of the safest and most effective ways to treat blood loss is to give patients their own blood through preoperative donation, preoperative hemodilution, intraoperative salvage, or postoperative salvage of autologous blood. | | | Preoperative donation of autologous blood is ideal before elective procedures with a known potential for blood loss, such as orthopedic surgery. | | | Of greater consequence to critically ill patients is evidence that blood transfusion has profound negative effects on the immune system. |

| | Elsewhere in the human body, bundles of actin form contractile muscles, and matrices of actin are responsible for the gel-like properties of various cells’ cytoplasm. | | | Sung, Skelton, and post-doctoral fellows Carlos Vera and Frederic Bossens combined mathematical modeling of a proto-filament as a tensegrity structure with a visualization technique that revealed how a single proto-filament moves in response to the pulling force of six spectrin fibers attached to it. | | | Skeletal muscles are used to facilitate movement, by applying force to bones and joints; via contraction. |
