Early diagnosis means that insulin or other treatment may help prevent such complications as hypertension, calcified arteries, and blindness. And the DAC test, developed by Drs. Gerald Kent and Jack Leonards of Western Reserve University, detects the disease even before sugar begins to appear in the urine-where it is now picked up by conventional testing...
Zoologists have long been satisfied with the evolutionary theory that holds that humans and monkeys are closely related. But the theorists always welcome additional evidence, and last week they got some striking chemical proof. Drs. B. H. Hoyer, B. J. McCarthy and E. T. Bolton of the Carnegie Institution demonstrated that the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in human genetic material has many sections that are identical with monkey...
Cool Sun. When they set up their cameras in a Douglas DC-8 jetliner and flew high over Canada during last summer's eclipse, Drs. Guglielmo Righini of Italy and Armin J. Deutsch of the U.S. counted on snapping some of the clearest pictures yet of the sun's glowing corona. But up there above the dust, water vapor and other difficulties of the earth's atmosphere, the two astronomers told the Florence meeting of COSPAR (Committee on Space Research), they found far more than they expected. Their pictures of the sun's spectrum showed...
...Drs. Righini and Deutsch now believe that there must be cool spots in the corona, but they can only guess at the mechanism that makes these cool spots possible. Perhaps, they say, the corona is threaded with magnetic fields that churn it around, making it lumpy and unevenly heated. Whatever the final explanation, it may provide an insight into solar flares, the violent sun storms which generate radiation that can kill a man in space...
...cigarette smoking ever be entirely safe? Drs. Wynder and Hoffmann said they doubted it. They thought the only way to avoid the risks of lung cancer from smoking was not to smoke. But, they conceded: "Man may not always be willing or able to accomplish this objective." Therefore they urged more research toward producing "less hazardous" smoking products. "Considerable progress has been and is being made," they concluded. "Further advances are certainly feasible...
