'Fairer' transplant rules set

Article Abstract:

The US Department of Health and Human Services is issuing a new set of transplant rules that could restructure the way the medical community handles transplant cases. The rules call for the establishment of more clear-cut guidelines on patient selection as well as the need for hospitals to share more data about more patients. It would also require strict compliance from doctors to ensure higher survival rates for transplant patients. Pending the outcome of the review of UNOS (United Network for Organ Sharing), the private group that manages the transplant system, the policies are expected to take effect after 30 days.

Ballard fuel cell to hit California streets

Article Abstract:

Ballard Power Systems Inc plans to launch a two-year pilot test of its fuel cell technology. The experiment aims to cut poisonous air emissions coming from 10 cars and five buses. A consortium that includes the Royal Dutch/Shell Group and Atlantic Richfield Co intends to expand the test to cover at least 40 fuel cell cars and 40 buses. The Chicago Transit Authority, now on the second year of testing the pilot program, faces a major problem in the cost of fuel cell buses.
