The microvascular system is "responsible for taking the oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. You can imagine if something goes wrong, the tissue isn’t happy," said senior author Miranda Schram of Maastricht University Medical Center in the Netherlands.

Bill Gates Books reviews
Bill Gates: Your Summer Reading List Should Include These 5 Books Bill Gates May 22, 2017 IDEAS Gates is co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Summer is a great time to escape: to the beach, to the mountains, or to the world of a great book.

The books on this year’s summer reading list pushed me out of my own experiences, and I learned some things that made me question my own thinking about how the world works.

Enviei-lhe um texto sobre a escolha de Tedros Gebreyesus para o lugar da Sra. Chan.
Abraços desde Brasília do
Vitor
