He decided that a general infection had inflamed the thin sac called the pericardium which contains the heart and caused it to adhere to Mrs. Bramy's breast bone. Surgeon Brown excised a section of the woman's sternum and ribs together with enough rib gristle to enable him to reach into her chest and free the pericardium from its adhesions. At the same time he removed a tiny bit of pericardial tissue. As he suspected, that wall...
Most authentic view of cancer is that it is not inheritable. But the susceptibility to cancer may be inherited.

Treatment of cancer is positive and often curative in cases of cancers which can be reached without cutting the patient open.

Japanese swimmers had won only three events (200-metre breast stroke, 1,500-metre free style, and 800-metre relay). U. S. victories by Dick Degener and Marshall Wayne in springboard and platform diving respectively clinched aquatic superiority...
...Rotterdam named Hendrika Wilhelmina Mastenbroek, who won both the 100 and 400-metre free style races, helped her team win the 400-metre relay. Because her pretty teammate, Dina Senff, took the 100-metre backstroke title, little Holland won every swimming event on the program except the 200-metre breast stroke which went to Japan. The high-powered U. S. swimmers got no first prizes...
