...early August occupancy, with offices for the doctor and his wife, waiting rooms (separate for whites and Negroes), two 10-ft.-by-10-ft. examination and treatment rooms. Dr. Sills has a sterilizer, centrifuge, microscope, and instruments for minor surgery. He wants no fancy, expensive gadgets like an electrocardiograph or X-ray machine, because these are handy at the Americus and Sumter County Hospital (130 beds), ten miles away...
Brain Researcher Ian Oswald of Oxford University's Institute of Experimental Psychology got interested in it while running sleep experiments. His volunteers were plastered with electrodes for electrocardiograph, breathing and brain-wave records. So he got instantaneous evidence of a burst of high-voltage activity in the brain, and disturbances in the heartbeat and breathing. Dr. Oswald reports in Brain that his first jerk-recording subject was a healthy, athletic type of 22, with no history of head injury or brain damage. But he had several such jerks nearly every night while falling asleep in a normal setting...
...Angeles) lay frightened on his hospital bed. He had told doctors that if left alone he could stop his heartbeat. Although he had done it in the past, Hansen feared that he might not be able to "will" his heart back to working. He turned on an electrocardiograph, then, "simply by allowing everything to stop," silenced his heartbeat for five seconds. After a deep breath, he was back to normal. Last week, writing in California Medicine, Dr. Charles M. McClure of Lindsay, Calif, confirmed Hansen's ability to stop his heart voluntarily, without any physical maneuvers: "The case...
Telemetered Symptoms. As the Jupiter with its living cargo soared off, its transmitters radioed back a sheaf of telemetered information. Fourteen electronic channels reported the symptoms of Monkey Able, including her muscular reactions, heart sounds, temperature and respiration. There were only two failures: her electrocardiograph failed to work; at the last minute, the button that she was supposed to push had been disconnected before launch because the scientists found that it interfered electrically with other apparatus...
...anesthetized patient on the operating table was a man of 50 whose heart had been seriously damaged by rheumatic fever. Electrodes taped to his ankles and wrists led to an electrocardiograph screen. He had a blood pressure cuff on the left arm, and the usual tube down the wind pipe, hooked up to an oxygen cylinder. Surgeon Bailey-scrubbed and all but mummified in sterile gear-stepped up to the table. He drew a scalpel lightly across the patient's chest, barely breaking the skin in a thin red line, to show where he wanted the incision. Then...
