	Method and system for externally treating the blood - Patent 4612007
		When a photoactive chemical agent having an affinity for the nucleic acid of nucleated cells such as lymphocytes is employed in the present invention, the aforementioned intermolecular attractive forces draw the agent into an intercalated relationship with the nucleic acids of the lymphocytes.
		Irradiation of the blood activates the photoactive moiety on the cortisone molecules in situ at the cortisone receptor sites and causes the formation of photo-adducts between the substituted cortisone and the cortisone receptor, as a consequence of which the receptor's ability to transmit cortisone vital to the continued metabolic activity of the cell is destroyed.
		The agents are injected at a rate in comparison to the blood flow rate as to achieve a concentration in the blood thereafter passed to irradiation station 24 in a desired effective range for each of the chemical agents of the invention.

		Based on a trail of blood leading to the nearby stairwell where the body was found and on bloodstains found on the steps and walls of the stairwell, Agent Herndon concluded that the victim was led to the stairwell and assaulted on the way down the stairs (Tr.
		Agent Herndon pointed out several palm prints and a footprint on the victim's body and testified that impressions of what appeared to be tennis shoe soles were found in the pool of blood where the victim lay (Tr.
		Agent Herndon believed that the bloodstains had been produced by a "medium-velocity" impact as opposed to a "high-velocity" impact, such as a gunshot wound, which results in a spray of blood (Tr.

	Method and system for externally treating the blood - Patent 4613322
		If desired, the blood to be treated may be separated to provide a blood fraction rich in lymphocytes and low in any blood component which absorbs UV radiation, as for example by continuous centrifuging which fraction is then irradiated with UV radiation in the presence of a dissolved photoactive chemical agent.
		Certain other chemical agents are known or are believed to weakly bind to the nucleic acids of certain nucleated cells where they intercalate by forming molecular complexes involving low energy chemical interactions or intermolecular attractions, which generally are transient and insufficient to significantly affect the rate of DNA synthesis in the cell.
		Thus, when blood is flowed into the operating centrifuge, it is subjected to a density gradient effective to cause the innermost volume of blood to become enriched in components such as lymphocytes which are less dense than the red blood cells which are concentrated in the outermost volumes of blood.

	Blood agent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A blood agent or cyanogen agent is a chemical compound, containing the cyanide group, that prevents the body from utilizing oxygen.
		The term "blood agent" is a misnomer, however, because these agents do not actually affect the blood in any way.
		During The Holocaust, the Nazis used a potent blood agent known as Zyklon B (hydrogen cyanide), as a replacement for carbon monoxide, to systematically murder Jews and other enemies of the Third Reich in death camp gas chambers.

		An irritating odor is a indicator of the presence of this agent.
		Blood Agents poisons the cell (stops the use of oxygen), the cell cannot use the oxygen remaining in the blood (the blood stays red).
		Choking agents cause damage to the membranes in the lungs that separate the air sac from the capillary.

	Blood Agent: AC
		Be aware that the solubility of hydrogen cyanide in water means wet clothing which has been exposed to the agent may retain agent and victims wearing wet clothing may be at increased risk of injury from percutaneous absorption of the agent.
		This is a bit of a misnomer, deriving from the early belief that hydrogen cyanide exerted its toxic effects by action in the blood, a belief resulting from the fact that the blood of victims could have a rich red color (similar to that seen for carbon monoxide poisoning).
		The principle agent used to murder those that the Nazi regime deemed undesirable was Zyklon B, which was hydrogen cyanide (40% by weight) absorbed on a calcium sulfate carrier.

	Keeping Blood Transfusions Safe: FDA's Multi-layered Protections for Donated Blood
		Keeping the United States blood supply the world's safest is the ultimate responsibility of the nation's more than 3,000 blood establishments, which collect and process 14 million units of whole blood donated by volunteers each year.
		Since November 1999, the FDA has requested the blood industry to defer potential donors who had lived in European countries with reported or suspected cases of BSE, the "mad cow disease," and who might be carriers of the BSE agent.
		Quarantine: Donated blood must be quarantined until it is tested and shown to be free of infectious agents.

		Blood has been viewed as the apogee of purity and the nadir of filth; cited as both the basis for unity and the justification for war; analyzed as a gift that brings life and a source of death; and sold as a commodity that has been called priceless.
		Blood authorities could not simply exclude those who might pose a risk because of their behavior or because they came from nations or groups thought to present increased risk to the blood supply.
		Disagreement between public health authorities, blood bankers, and patients about whether those who might have been exposed to hepatitis C should be notified and offered blood testing was the first sign that the era of blood scandal had not come to an end.

	BSE and Blood Transfusion
		It is likely that 50% of blood derivatives are transfused to recipients who die within 1 year and it is assumed that the rest will have a similar life expectancy to non-tranfused members of the population.
		However, the peripheral transfusion of 300ml of whole blood from a patient suffering from CJD to a chimpanzee has not led to disease after 8 years (Gajdusek, 1990) but the 'species barrier' and the long incubation period that is expected may rule this out as a helpful indicator.
		He said that, though the risk of transmission in the blood supply is highly unlikely-and not one case has been documented-all Israeli Jews of Libyan or Tunisian origin (even those of second or third generation) should be required to undergo a blood test, and carriers should be barred from donating blood or organs.

	(WO/1989/004654) CONTROLLED ADMINISTRATION OF BENEFICIAL AGENT TO BLOOD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		(EN) As one administers blood through a conduit (10) into a container (12), the blood is passed in the conduit across the supply of beneficial agent (18), such as anticoagulant, to cause a controlled amount of beneficial agent to enter the passing blood in a manner that is substantially uniform overtime.
		The beneficial agent (18) is typically in dry form until it enters into contact with the blood.
		Accordingly, no substantial portion of the blood is exposed to a significantly higher concentration of the beneficial agent than other portions of the blood.

	Section 01
		The M256 is used to test for the presence of hazardous concentrations of blood, nerve, and blister agents in vapor, and nerve and blister agents in liquid form.
		It takes 15 to 20 minutes to detect the presence of a blood agent, nerve agent, or blister agent using the M256 test kit, which includes a 10-minute period when the vapor-sampler is exposed to the gas or vapor in question.
		The advisory only affected the nerve agent test and not the remaining tests (blood agent test, blister agent test and lewisite test) because those tests are not affected by the age of the kit.

		Although the United States blood supply is safer than ever, concerns continue to arise about new infectious agents such as human herpes virus-8 (HHV-8, associated with Kaposi's sarcoma), Borna virus, variants of HIV-1, a new variant of the CJD agent, and a virus called TTV that may be associated with hepatitis.
		For example, prevalence and incidence of newly discovered infectious agents can be estimated rapidly, the characteristics of populations at risk can be evaluated, and the impact of new screening methods can be assessed.
