Irradiated blood products are used to prevent graft-vs-host disease in patients at risk. Many attempts have been made to develop blood substitutes using inert chemicals (eg, perfluorocarbons) or Hb solutions to carry and deliver oxygen to tissues.
Temperament and Traits of a Corgi Mix. Those short, stout dogs are familiar to anyone who follows the British royal family. Corgis are loved worldwide for their loyal temperament and athletic playfulness. While not every corgi mix will have the same temperament and traits, many will act similarly to their purebred cousins.
Corgis are herding dogs, and were also bred as an all-purpose farm dog. They tend to be loyal, sometimes protective (as is typical of the herding breeds) and most of all, live to be with their people!! Personality styles range from the cuddly couch potato to the energizer bunny investigator.
