Transplantation and Blood Transfusion : Proceedings of the Eighth Annual Symposium on Blood Transfusion, Groningen 1983, Organized by the Red Cross Blood Bank Groningen-Drenthe

Symposia like this one have the purpose to present the state of the art. but also to give an opportunity for discussion about the most important and relevant options. Therefore.
