...four drugs currently available for U.S. prescription in the treatment of adult diabetes, three are sulfonylureas: tolbutamide (Upjohn's Orinase), chlorpropamide (Pfizer's Diabinese) and acetohexamide (Lilly's Dymelor). Drs. Weller and Linder emphasize that these sulfonylureas promote the release of insulin-at least in the early stages of treatment-and thus help to make fat. They recommend sulfonylureas for patients whose weight problems are not critical and for the few who are underweight. For the overweight, they prescribe phenformin (U.S. Vitamin Corp.'s DBI), which, they say, helps both to control appetite and to speed...
Surgery begins at 7:30, and in what the Houston virtuosos have come to regard as routine cases, operations may get under way in the three rooms at once, with Drs. DeBakey, Garrett and Howell each taking charge in one. If a case is expected to be of more than average difficulty, DeBakey will have Garrett or Howell as his chief assistant, facing him across the operating table...
Desperate Ploy. At Hughes Aircraft Co. in California, however, three young engineers, Drs. Harold A. Rosen, Donald D. Williams and Thomas Hudspeth, were anxious to shoot for a higher target-nothing less than the 22,300-mile synchronous orbit conceived by Clarke back in 1945. They were sure they could lick its formidable problems, but they could not convince the Hughes management. "One day," says Hughes Vice President Lawrence A. Hyland, "Williams walked into my office and laid a cashier's check for $10,000-his entire savings-on my desk. 'Here's what I want...
...Drs. Barghoorn and Tyler selected 800 promising samples and ground them to paper thinness. Studied under a microscope, they showed a great variety of organisms. Few of them resemble anything that still lives today, and their discoverers gave them such fanciful scientific names as Eoastrion (little dawn star), Kakabekia (after a waterfall in Ontario) and Eosphaera (dawn sphere...
That was back in 1949. and all but a few U.S. obstetricians have remained terrified of putting a baby in an icy bath. But last week the Drs. Miller, now at Tulane University, told a Manhattan meeting of the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy that in Finland, Sweden and Switzerland, 150 babies have been chilled and not killed. The few who have died after cooling almost certainly would have died without it. And among the survivors, cerebral palsy is rare or unknown, whereas among babies who have suffered the same breathing difficulty and have been kept warm, cerebral palsy...
