...this town the second day, and this town the third day. If you start working that out, you realize you have got marketing areas. These are units and Bill and other people too have drawn a picture of it. You can get a picture very soon of the cellular structure of the old Chinese peasant economy grouped within the marketing units, the basic point being that the peasant in his village must be within a day's walk, round trip, from the market. So it has a certain size; it may be 5 miles across, at most...
...visualize the overall inflammatory process," said Dr. Glenn, "as a wave or chain of cellular destruction." The first result of injury is to cut cells open, in the case of a stab wound or burn, or to weaken their membranes, in the case of many infections or poisoning by plants or animals. Either way, powerful chemicals that had been locked inside the cells, some in leakproof packages, spill...
...Paul Hilton, where a banker lectured on tight money and faculty economists examined new approaches to understanding consumer behavior. Vanderbilt offers both specialized and general seminars. Last weekend, alumni of the medical school were treated to a series of discussions on such topics as the new penicillin and the cellular aspects of the immunization mechanism. Vanderbilt A.B.s, on the other hand, were invited to a lecture on the future of the liberal arts college by Poet Allen Tate, class...
...theory is that Meniere's begins with an accumulation of lymph fluids in the inner ear, apparently as the result of changes in circulation. The excess lymph, which causes the tinnitus and dizziness, can be dissipated by restoring this "microcirculation." Histamine, one of the body's cellular hormones, will do the job, but it is so powerful that it must be used with great care...
Damaging Human Cells. Because sugar is found in all living cells, the Cornell discovery also suggests that humans who are exposed to extensive radiation may produce the questionable chemicals in their own bodies. And this suggests that some of the cellular damage that results from radioactivity may be caused by those chemicals-not only by direct impact of the high-energy particles that most scientists have held responsible for altering or destroying chromosomes. If this proves to be true, positive identification of the sugar-derived compounds might someday lead to the development of medicines that could alleviate or prevent many...
