...Ruffian in 1975 and perhaps the most gruesome sports injury to any creature since the nationally televised sight of Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann's leg snapping like a bread stick in 1985. But there's something about a Thoroughbred coming undone--something about that exquisite engine of muscle, bone and congenial will crashing down--that moves us. In the days since Barbaro's accident and surgery, the horse--now housed in a 13-ft. by 11-ft. stall at the University of Pennsylvania's George D. Widener Hospital for Large Animals--has received a flood of cards...
...after the surgery that repaired his limb, Barbaro was standing--gingerly--with the aid of a cast, but his situation is still touch and go. Infection remains a risk, as does laminitis, injury to the tissue between hoof and bone that can affect the healthy left hind leg, which now bears more weight. To minimize the risk of reinjury, Barbaro will be confined in his stall for several months. The goal is not to get him fit enough to race; that option ended shortly outside the gate at Pimlico. What he does need is an ankle strong enough to support...
...lower parts of the legs have no muscles at all, just a structural network of bones, tendons and ligaments. That makes the blood vessels particularly vulnerable to tearing when a bone breaks. If that happens, there's little hope...
...instance, is even more complicated, measuring how much energy is being used by your cells in order to give an energy-use mapping of a slice of your body. It is better at showing some tumors than any other imaging method. We have tri-spiral CT scanners, radionucleide bone scanners, EKG-gated CT angiographic scanners. We can test the electrical activity of brain, muscle and nerve. We can test your blood in two thousand different ways. We can test the gases going in and out of your lungs...
...animals will be driven between Borough and Smithfield markets via the ultramodern Millennium Bridge that spans the Thames. Norman Foster, the bridge's architect, plans to lead the way. PETER ACKROYD'S THAMES On the same bridge - the first to be built in London in more than 100 years - bone up on the history of the river and the city it slices at a neat little exhibition put together by London biographer Peter Ackroyd. Its layout mirrors the capital's: displays on the bridge's east side map the dark, grimy, industrial face; cross to the west side...
