...area, for example, a squishy sectional sofa, designed by Ueli Berger in 1972, is crowned by a spiky Serge Mouille wall light and flanked by a 1952 Harry Bertoia Bird lounge chair and ottoman. Downstairs on the second floor, an acid-yellow Marc Newson kitchen and the red molded fascia of a Raymond Lowey sideboard interrupt a general theme of soft whiteness. Though Brunel insists the apartments are "places in which things must be touched, places made for living," some may feel inhibited by what seems like a Who's Who of 20th century design...
...most basic of these techniques involves pulling the face into shape with an internal sling made of fascia, the fibrous tissue that separates and encloses the muscles of the body. Fascial slings do not restore normal muscle control, but by supporting sagging face muscles, they help to bring a certain symmetry to the face at rest...
...surgeon, there remains a major repair job. For structural support and to diminish the size of the opening, he builds a latticework of sutures across the win dow, covering them with strong connective tissue (fascia) from an ox. After much meticulous suturing, the wound has a taut look before the skin is closed...
...assistant surgeons, a nurse and five specially trained medical corpsmen began excision of parts of the first body. The surgeons removed long sections of both ascending and descending aorta. With a dermatome they took skin, only 15/1,000 of an inch thick, from the trunk and legs. Next came fascia (connective tissue) from the thighs. They also took pelvic bone. Each item was measured, labeled and prepared for storage. At 3:30 a.m. the operations ended, and the tissue bank's doors-imprinted with the proud legend Ex Morte Vita (Life from Death)-were shut...

Hyatt, it has already supplied needed parts of human anatomy, whether soft tissue or bone, for more than 700 patients. If a Bethesda surgeon wants a piece of bone, skin, artery, fascia (muscle sheathing) or dura (brain covering), he can find it in bottles neatly stacked on the first floor. For a long time, the great problem was to keep the tissues fresh. Ordinary refrigeration and thawing made them useless. The Navy got around this by ultra-rapid freeze-drying...
