...little sugar does appear in the urine, said Dr. Edward Tolstoi of Cornell University Medical School. His idea: daily insulin will control the disease, and a severe diet may impair the patient's metabolic processes instead of improving them. ¶The mysterious poisons that appear in the bloodstream of severely burned patients and kill them several days after the original injury may not be so mysterious after all two Army medics told the Association of Military Surgeons. They have evidence that the poisons are simply the result of infection with bacteria that defy even massive doses of antibiotics...
...mark of totalitarian institutions to attack a man for his family's political defection. When the Air Force received accusations against his family, it was proper to check on Radulovich's own political sentiments. But when they were cleared absolutely, the case should have ended. Guilt by bloodstream is no more impressive a condemnation than is guilt by casual association...
Died. Dr. Florence Rena Sabin, 81, one of America's first women scientists, who, at Johns Hopkins, probed the mysteries of the lymphatic system and the bloodstream (1902-25), went on to investigate new methods of combating tuberculosis, and in 1944 undertook a successful revamping of Colorado's ailing public health system; of a heart attack; in Denver...
Turkey, making a thorough checkup at the start of the new year, found itself in excellent shape. The U.S. has pumped $400 million into its bloodstream since the war.

U.S. Mutual Security officials deliberately encouraged the Turks to spend their aid on economic expansion, which would return repeated dividends, instead of on direct military purchases. The country's resulting economic boom has brought $100 million more (a 17% increase) in government revenues in the last year, which in turn enables...
...killers, promoters of wound healing and deodorants. There is not a shred of reliable evidence that they are any good for any of these purposes, said Dr. Corwin. Moreover, he added, some researchers fear that they may release a group of compounds called porphyrins. If porphyrins get into the bloodstream, they can make a patient so sensitive to light that he must spend months in a darkened room. (A white mouse injected with porphyrins may flourish in the dark, but will drop dead the instant it is exposed to the light-shock of a photo flashbulb.) Since no such accidents...
