A life-support machine that has helped more than 100 critically ill children when their hearts and lungs could no longer function on their own is marking 35 years at the Montreal Children’s Hospital.
The machine, called Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), circulates blood outside the body, at which point oxygen is added and carbon dioxide is removed before returning the blood to the patient. This temporarily allows the heart, lungs or both to rest and recover.

Hall of Famer Dave Winfield on his Famous Feud with the Yankees
What a World Series matchup: The Milwaukee Brewers are on a revenge tour — sweeping the Dodgers after being swept by the same team last year. The Brewers will face a team that once seemed like a long shot, the Tampa Bay Rays, but then won 98 games this season. Plus, with two small-market teams on the biggest stage, does that mean the mighty Dodgers have officially fallen? We talk to baseball journalist Molly Knight about what the series might have in store. Then, we’ll hear from a World Series champion himself: Dave Winfield. You might know Dave for his famous 11th-inning hit in the ‘92 World Series, or maybe his 12 All-Star selections. Many know him for his time with the New York Yankees, who made him the highest-paid player in the league in 1981. But the team’s owner, George Steinbrenner, carried a vendetta against Dave that would define his nine years on the team.
