Thay vì chỉ bảo quản được tối đa 42 ngày, bằng sự tìm tòi và nhiệt huyết, tập thể cán bộ Bệnh viện Truyền máu-Huyết học Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh đã tìm ra kỹ thuật có thể lưu trữ, bảo quản hồng cầu đông lạnh đến 10 năm, giúp những bệnh nhân có nhóm máu hiếm trong những tình huống cấp cứu khẩn cấp; đồng thời mở ra cơ hội cho những bệnh nhân có nhu cầu sử dụng máu của chính mình (truyền máu tự thân) để đảm bảo sự an toàn cần thiết.

Vấn đề đảm bảo vệ sinh ở Châu Á cần nhiều việc hơn là chỉ cần có nhà vệ sinh.
English: Why sanitation in Asia requires more than just toilets
Tại Châu Á và Thái Bình Dương, hơn 1,7 tỷ người không được tiếp cận với hệ thống vệ sinh được cải thiện và hàng triệu người đang đi vệ sinh ngoài trời. Nhưng chỉ xây dựng nhà vệ sinh mới là không đủ để cải thiện sức khỏe cộng đồng, nhà phân tích Jingmin Huang của Ngân hàng phát triển Châu Á ( Asian Development Bank-ADB) cho biết. Việc thiếu các cơ sở vệ sinh phù hợp ở Châu Á Thái Bình Dương có ảnh hưởng sâu sắc không chỉ đối với sức khoẻ mà còn đối với nhân phẩm. Theo Ngân hàng Phát triển Châu Á (ADB), khoảng 4% tổng số ca tử vong của phụ nữ mang thai liên quan đến việc vệ sinh và điều kiện vệ sinh yếu, kém. Vấn đề này thậm chí có thể dẫn đến bạo lực đối với phụ nữ như trường hợp tại bang Uttar Pradesh của Ấn Độ, nơi hai phụ nữ bị cưỡng hiếp và cuối cùng bị sát hại trong khi tìm kiếm một nơi kín đáo để đi vệ sinh.

Hanoi needs long-term solutions for garbage collection
Last update 08:10 | 02/02/2017
VietNamNet Bridge – The garbage collection in urban areas is mechanized, while the work is still done manually in rural areas with low productivity and efficiency.
In rural areas, garbage collection is done by self-managed units in hamlets and communes. Garbage is collected from residential quarters, gathered in certain places and then carried to the city’s concentrated treatment plants.Since there are not enough dumpers, garbage cannot be collected in the right way and the collection time is erratic. Garbage is often left in residential quarters. In most cases, garbage is only collected once every 2-3 days, or 10 days. The places where garbage are gathered are within residential quarters, but the rubbish is not covered in a hygienic way. Tiếp tục đọc “Hanoi needs long-term solutions for garbage collection”

Certifying Vietnam’s timber plantations would help smallholders profit from lucrative export market
BOGOR, Indonesia (21 November, 2012)_If Vietnam wants its timber producers to benefit from the growing “eco-conscious” and more lucrative international furniture market, national forest institutions should look for ways to get plantation forests certified, said Louis Putzel, a senior scientist at the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR).

Eco-certification may become more important as countries start putting in place import restrictions, with the European Union ruling it will ban illegally harvested wood from entering its market as of March 2013.
