Although all blood
is made of the same basic elements, not all blood is alike. In fact, there are
eight different common blood types, which are determined by the presence or
absence of certain antigens – substances that can trigger an immune response if
they are foreign to the body. Since some antigens can trigger a patient's
immune system to attack the transfused blood, safe blood transfusions depend on
careful blood typing and cross-matching.

Future Lifeguards: This Iranian Drone Someday May Save Your Life
by Kelsey D. Atherton
RTS Labs, an Iranian research firm, has started work on a
drone lifeguard. Tired of hearing stories about people drowning in the Caspian Sea, the researchers sought out a way to improve

faster over choppy seas, they always remain calm, and a drone will never fall

countries. A robot that helps lifeguards save lives faster could presumably
lower that rate.
