Damaging Proportions. So far, the function of the substance, even in normal amounts, is unknown. Its level in the bloodstream generally rises under conditions of stress, however, so it is apparently involved in the biochemistry of tension and anxiety. In the schizophrenic patient, Gottlieb points out, tension and anxiety are already "out of control." Thus its level may rise unchecked to mind-damaging proportions. By coincidence, the Worcester Foundation research team working with Dr. John R. Bergen discovered and tested similar blood fractions simultaneously with the Lafayette team. They injected the substance into rats that had been trained to reach...
...about six months of age, babies carry in their bloodstream their mothers' antibody against RSV. By the basic rules of virology, this should protect them. Obviously, it doesn...
...Galbraith, economics is a vehicle for achieving broad social aims. More than anyone else, he injects social ideas into the bloodstream of economics. As prodder, pleader and proselytizer, he is unrivaled in the U.S. today. "Galbraith is an antenna and a synthesizer," says Samuelson. "He senses what is in the air and puts it together and packages...
Equipped with bloodstream measurements as a common drug denominator, scientists can now take a more meaningful look at medicines discarded as ineffectual. A drug for relief of rheumatoid arthritis called phenylbutazone, for example, once filed away on the basis of trial doses unrefined by Brodie's findings, today has been recognized as effective for humans-even though equated doses have little result in rats...
Medical researchers have now found a surer and simpler way to protect the second child by inoculating the mother during a crucial three-day period following the birth of her first child. Heretofore, the problem has been that during childbirth, the bloodstream of the Rh-negative mother is invaded by hundreds of thousands of the red blood cells of the child, each carrying the factor that makes it Rh-positive. During the next few weeks, her system reacts to the foreign cells by developing active antibodies that can then attack the blood of all subsequent children...
