...Clinic staff at Narita International Airport gave her oxygen and rushed her to the nearby Red Cross Hospital. There Dr. Hiroshi Morio immediately diagnosed a pulmonary embolism: a blood clot that had lodged in her lungs, possibly as a result of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a condition often prompted by prolonged periods of immobility. "It was easy to diagnose," says Morio. "She was in a critical condition." For seven days Ishii's family kept a bedside vigil, and she was eventually discharged after three weeks. Eight months later, the 57-year-old still takes daily doses of anticoagulants. Ishii knew...
...Filed in March, it too has the potential to set an industry precedent. More and more doctors are also speaking out. Between 1994 and 2000, Narita's Morio saw 21 patients with DVT. All survived, but Morio says: "There must be more who died before they reached here." Narita clinic head Toshiro Makino confirms that suspicion. He treats up to 60 people a year for DVT, and says 25 patients died from pulmonary embolism between 1992 and 2000. Of the 13 deaths on arrival in 2000, he put eight down to DVT.

Even more alarming, several researchers believe that molds can cause some types of brain damage. Wayne Gordon, a neuropsychologist, and Dr. Eckardt Johanning, both of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, have seen enough patients whose problems with memory, learning and concentration occurred only after exposure to stachybotrys to convince them there is a relationship. Still, they concede, more research is needed...
...City' reflects the life and hard times of people in a typical South African urban black township. In fact, most of the series' location shots are taken in Alexandra, one of the oldest and most squalid of South Africa's black slums, just outside Johannesburg. And 'Soul City's clinic, where much of the drama is centered, is based on an actual clinic in Alexandra...
