People have been donating blood since the early twentieth century to help accident victims and patients undergoing surgical procedures Usually a pint of whole blood is donated, and it is then divided into platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells People can donate blood (for red blood cells] about once every two months Transfusing the blood from the donor to the recipient is straightforward It involves taking the blood from a donor's arm vein by means of a hypodermic syringe The blood flows through a plastic tube

to a collection bag or bottle that contains sodium citrate, which prevents the blood from clotting When the blood is given to a patient, a plastic tube and hypodermic needle are connected to the recipient's arm The blood flows down from the container by gravity This is a slow process and may last as long as 2 hours to complete the infusion of blood into the recipient The patient is protected from being infected during the transfusion Only sterile containers, tubing, and needles are used, and this helps ensure that transfused or stored blood is not exposed to disease causing bacteria Negative reactions

to transfusions are not unusual The recipient may suffer an allergic reaction or be sensitive to donor leukocytes Some may suffer from an undetected red cell incompatibility.

Unexplained reactions are also fairly common, Although they are rare, other causes of such negative reactions include contaminated blood, air bubbles in the blood, overloading of the circulatory system through administration of excess blood, or sensitivity to donor plasma

or platelets Today, hospitals and blood banks go to great lengths to screen all blood

donors and their blood All donated blood is routinely and rigorously tested for diseases, such as HIV, hepatitis B, and syphilis When the recipient is a newborn or an infant, the

blood is usually irradiated to eliminate harmful elements Donated blood is washed, and the white blood cells and platelets removed Storing the blood sometimes requires a freezing process To freeze the red blood cells, a glycerol solution is added To unfreeze, the glycerolis removed The ability to store blood for long periods has been a boon to human health

Every summer, when the results of university entrance exam come out, many newspaper stories are published about students who are top-scorers across the country Most portray students as hard- working, studious, smart and, generally, from low-income families They are often considered heroes or heroines by their families, communes, villages and communities, And they symbolise the efforts made to lift them, and their relatives, out of poverty The students are often too poor to attend any extra-classes, which make their achievements more illustrious and more newsworthy While everyone should applaud the students for their admirable efforts, putting too much emphasis on success generates some difficult questions

If other students look up to them as models, of course it's great However, in a way, it contributes to society's attitude that getting into university is the only way to succeed For those who fail, their lives are over It should be noted that about 1.3 million high school students take part in the annual university entrance exams and only about 300,000 of them pass What's about the hundreds of thousands who fail?

unconventional?

be given to the youngsters who can be role-models in the start-up community Getting into university, even with honours, is just the beginning We applaud them and their

efforts and obviously that can give them motivation to do better in life However, success requires more than just scores," Van said Van once told a newspaper that his inspiration also came from among the world's most famous drop-outs, such as Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook or Bill Gates who also dropped out of Harvard University

Alarming statistics about unemployment continues to plague us As many as

162,000 people with some kind of degree cannot find work, according to Labour Ministry's statistics this month An emphasis on getting into university does not inspire students who want to try alternative options At the same time, the Ministry of Education and Training is still pondering on how to reform our exam system, which emphasises theories, but offers little to develop critical thinking or practice Vu Thi Phuong Anh, former head of the Centre for Education Testing and Quality Assessment

at Vietnam National University in Ho Chi Minh City said the media should also monitor student successes after graduation She agreed there were many success stories about young people, but added that it was imbalanced if students taking unconventional paths were not also encouraged
