...American Journal of Pathology, two San Francisco doctors offer an unexpected reply: the clot forms as the result of a reaction between arterial blood and material from a diseased part of the artery's walls. Along with the scaly deposit, it makes a plug that blocks blood flow...
...abscess burst outward, into the artery, and in ten the blood burst into the abscess. Either way, the result was the same. Blood mixed with material from inside the abscess to produce a clot that filled the artery cavity too tightly to be pushed along, thus blocking the arterial flow.* That part of the heart muscle beyond the plug, deprived of nourishing blood and oxygen, lost its elastic muscularity, disrupted the heart's delicate electrical-conduction system, and eventually stopped working. In some cases the victims of these occlusions were dead even before their blood-starved heart muscle...
Phoenix-Like. Despite the loss of 7,000 men in seven weeks, the Communists have displayed what one U.S. officer calls a "phoenix-like ability" to recuperate. To speed the flow of infiltrators, at least three new roads have been hacked through the Laotian panhandle and some 10,000 Viet Minh guards assigned to keep them open. Down the trails, often concealed from the air by a solid canopy of 150-ft. trees, move trucks, elephants and wiry porters capable of toting 30-lb. loads 15 miles...
...unusually intense orgasm, this phase may drop a woman into deep sleep within a minute or two. ("Postorgasmic sleep" had previously been regarded as a male characteristic.) The measles-like rash fades, the engorged vessels of the pelvis and breasts relax to permit the resumption of normal blood flow, and the vagina subsides into a state that facilitates the movement of sperm to ovum for conception...
...great day, early last month, aboard British Petroleum's offshore drilling rig Sea Gem, anchored 42 miles off the coast of Britain in the North Sea. Flow tests of the natural-gas pocket discovered at the site showed a capacity of 10 million cu. ft. a day, enough to supply the fuel needs of a town of 300,000 people and to prompt Britain's Minister of Power, Frederick Lee, to recommend building an undersea pipeline (at some $250,000 per mile) to bring the gas to land by late 1967 or early...
