Tiny Perfusion Letter

Here's another 10 for you. Thanks for subscribing.

Mentioned it before, but I'll keep repeating. This is all about the community of perfusionists, surgeons and anesthesiologists and probably more. Share the message to anyone whom you believe thinks it's more useful to receive most of perfusion related publications in one message, instead of digging through all the journals and e-alerts...

Enjoy.
