...into monkeys or prison volunteers, the protein caused schizophrenia-like symptoms. Now, in the Archives of General Psychiatry, Dr. Heath reports that he has succeeded in further purifying this substance, taraxein. It works like an antibody, he says, in effect sensitizing a person against certain parts of his own brain. If this can be confirmed, schizophrenia would be classed as one of the autoimmune diseases, in which the body makes antibody against one of its own parts...
...physician, Dr. B. Renault Able, began to pack the body in ice. Members of the Cryonics Society of California arrived to help. They spent eight hours, sending out periodically for more ice, getting the body frozen solid. They used artificial respiration and external heart massage to protect the brain from oxygen-loss damage until it was frozen, drained out the blood and replaced it with antifreeze solutions. Then Professor Bedford's icy body was flown to Phoenix, where Edward Hope, a wigmaker by trade, waited with the capsule he had designed and put the professor's remains...

Last winter U.S. medics were saving nearly all their patients by intensive treatment with chloroquine and quinine, but 40% of the men suffered relapses...
...national degradation" as a Nazi collaborator. Reprieved but unforgiven, he lived his last years as a recluse in a Paris suburb, seeing only his loyal wife. Yet this same man was a hero of World War I for a voluntary exploit in which he suffered a severe head wound. Brain injury left him hallucinated, plagued by noises in his head, an insomniac whose sanity was often questioned. Despite this, he became a physician and, under his real name, Dr. Henri-Louis Destouches, he chose to live among the poor of Paris, often practicing without...
