...write from the vantage point of long experience both as a hematologist--who while doing routine clinical work often administers radioactive isotopes to patients for diagnostic purposes--and as a biochemist, who has been using radioactive tracers for in vitro experiments since 1950 when I began as a young investigator in the regional Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) laboratory at the new UCLA Medical School...
However, Ho said he was told by Kuo's doctor, Hope Rugo, a hematologist and oncologist with UCSF, that if Kuo receives an imperfect match there will be an 80 percent chance his body will reject the marrow...
...Cuban romance with biotechnology began in 1980, when a visiting U.S. physician regaled Castro with tales of the latest wonder drug, interferon. Intrigued, Castro directed Dr. Manuel Limonta, a young Cuban hematologist and immunologist, to set up a facility to manufacture the protein. At first, Limonta and his small staff used human blood cells to produce interferon. But soon the advantages of recombinant DNA technology became apparent, and Limonta started making interferon in giant vats of genetically engineered yeast...
...living in a new age of medicine." That was the appraisal last week of Dr. Robert Gale, a UCLA hematologist and veteran of the medical team that treated victims of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster last year. Gale had just returned from Rio de Janeiro, where with an international group of physicians he had spent ten days treating six badly irradiated victims of a bizarre accident in Brazil with an experimental drug called GM-CSF. "When it comes to these disasters," concluded Gale, who will soon return to Rio, "all the handbooks on treatment will have to be rewritten...
Victims of AIDS must not only combat the virus that causes the disease but must also fend off potentially fatal infections that overrun their weakened immune systems. A team of researchers in Boston and Los Angeles, led by Hematologist Jerome Groopman of New England Deaconess Hospital, reported in the New England Journal of Medicine last week that a genetically engineered version of a naturally occurring hormone partially restored depressed immune systems in 16 AIDS patients...
