...protein, modified it with the organic compounds, and put the resulting white powder into solution. That way, with a tube and syringe, he could propel it directly into an infant's air passages. To spread it over the lungs, he just moved his tiny patients about until the alveolar cells that make up the lining of the lung were all coated. The infants were immediately placed in a 100% oxygen atmosphere and put on respirators to help aerate their lungs. Before long, they were breathing more normally, and within hours, they had turned from deathly gray to a healthy...
...lists at $85. Even with that fiscal bite, Millard expects to lose money: his 10% royalty will not cover the original costs of research and illustration. Volume II, on bilateral and rare cleft-lip deformities, is already at the publisher's. Millard is also at work on alveolar and palatal deformities for Volume...
...found, irritates the cells that line the tiniest chambers of the lung (alveoli). The walls of the alveoli thicken, lose their elasticity and much of their ability to do their vital job of exchanging carbon dioxide for oxygen. Subjected to sudden stress-such as a cough or sneeze-the alveolar walls rupture; part of the lung becomes useless...
...remarkable new lung disease," for which no cause has been found, was described in an exhibit mounted by the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. Called pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (because protein-like particles are deposited in the lungs' alveoli, or air sacs), it has been found in 27 patients, all but one in the last three years. Sometimes heralded by fever, it is usually marked by labored breathing, a cough and chest pain, while in X rays the lungs look waterlogged. Nine patients have died, five have improved, the rest show no change...
...tongue placed near to or against the back of the upper front teeth. No matter what a dentist does in fitting new plates, he is unlikely to interfere with this process. But patients with English as their native language hold the tongue higher - against the alveolar ridge just behind the base of the upper front teeth - to make the same sounds. And that is precisely where the average dentist making an upper plate puts part of the denture base. Result: the English-language patient's tongue hits a foreign object right behind the alveolar ridge and doesn...
