Many types of lily, such as Tiger, Asian, Japanese Show, Easter, Stargazer and the Casa Blanca, can cause kidney failure in cats. Poinsettias-are generally over-rated in toxicity. If ingested, poinsettias can be irritating to the mouth and stomach, and may cause mild vomiting or nausea nau-sea Mistletoe-has the potential to cause cardiovascular cardiovascu-lar problems. However, mistletoe ingestion usually only causes gastrointestinal upset. ' Holly-ingestion could cause vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, di-arrhea, and lethargy.

As little as one teaspoon of antifreeze can be deadly to a cat; less than four teaspoons tea-spoons can be dangerous to a 10-pound dog.

New blood collection system instituted by the American Red Cross The American Red Cross Blood Services has adopted an innovative automated au-tomated blood collection system that allows eligible donors to give two units of red blood cells instead of approximately one pint of whole blood. The process, which collects col-lects only the red blood cells and. returns all other blood components to the donor, has received positive posi-tive marks from donors and on average takes just 10 minutes longer than a typical donation of whole blood. "Relying on current manual collections alone, which collect one pint of whole blood, will not meet the demand for red blood cells without an influx of new donors," said Julia Wulf, chief executive officer of-ficer of the American Red Cross Lewis and Clark Region. Re-gion. , "By obtaining two transfusion trans-fusion doses of red blood cells from a single donor, this automated technology technol-ogy increases the supply of critically needed red blood cells and maximizes the benefit donors can provide pro-vide to patients. Recruiting Recruit-ing more donors will still be critical, but using automated auto-mated systems puts us in a better position to meet increasing blood supply needs." Before the institution of this new process, red blood cells were collected through whole blood donations. do-nations. In this approach, the whole blood is divided MATC Cosmetology Open1.

This survey was created to research AAA members' manually into therapeutic components after it has been collected from a donor. do-nor. One whole blood donation do-nation produces a single transfusion dose of red blood cells. With automated red blood cell collection technology, tech-nology, only red blood cells are collected, returning the other components, such as platelets and plasma, back to the donor. This process allows two transfusion doses of red blood cells to be collected from a single donation. Traditional whole blood donations will still be needed need-ed from many donors. A whole blood donor can donate do-nate every 56 days while a double red cell donor may donate every 112 days. The deferral is twice as long as the traditional method since two red cell units are collected. When asked about his double red blood cell donor experience, Cliff Sweet, a regular whole blood donor do-nor from Taylorsville, said, "It didn't seem much different, just took a little bit longer." Asked how he feels about helping two patients pa-tients with one donation and not having to donate as often, Sweet replied, "I don't mind going in to donate do-nate but it is nice not to go as often and still help just as many patients." Double red blood cell donations do-nations can be made at the American Red Cross donation do-nation center in Salt Lake City or at sponsored mobile mo-bile drives. 18 attitudes toward America's reliance on petroleum to fuel passenger vehicles and their attitudes toward alternative alter-native fuels and hybrid vehicles ve-hicles as possible solutions.
