In an article by Dr. Solly Zuckerman, famed Oxford anatomist, the British medical journal The Lancet last week described the damage, often fatal, which may be done to lungs by explosions...
...Anatomist Eleanor Linton Clark of the University of Pennsylvania accidentally ran a glass tube, fine as a hair, into her finger. A few days later, when her finger swelled, her husband & colleague, Anatomist Eliot Round Clark, probed out the sliver of glass. To their amazement, the Clarks saw tiny blood vessels sprouting inside the tube. Because they were scientists, that gave them an idea.
