Because of the insidious nature of the anemia, all men who have had grippe and are not feeling perfectly well after it are urged to report at the office of the medical adviser for a hemoglobin test, between the hours of 9 and 12 o'clock if possible. The disease can be easily detected and treated, the adviser declares...
...important is the synthesizing of hematin, the red iron core which carries oxygen into the blood. Hans Fischer, 47, of the Munich (Germany) Institute of Technology worked on the problem 17 years and, last week, reported success. His synthetic he calls Hematine. In normal breathing, the blood's hemoglobin, which includes hemochromogen (compound of hematin), takes oxygen from the lungs and forms unstable oxyhemoglobin. Oxyhemoglobin readily gives its oxygen to body cells. When carbon monoxide is breathed, very stable carbon monoxide hemoglobin* results and the body cells cannot burn off their wastes, death results. In such poisoning Prof. Fischer...
...Conant '13, Associate Professor of Chemistry, to investigate the nature of the linkage between the protein and the pigment in hemoglobin and the nature of the changes involved in the oxidation and reduction of the pigment...
Physiological, the presence of this gas in the system displaces the oxygen in the hemoglobin particles, producing a state which is very hard to cure...
...Notes on the change of Hemoglobin to Methemoglobin" will be the subject of a lecture at the Medical School by Dr. R. M. Ferry '12 this afternoon. Dr. Ferry is a Research Fellow in Bio-Chemistry and has been conducting research experiments for some time. He is now giving some of the results he secured. His lecture will be in the Bowditch Library in Building C of the Medical School at 4 o'clock this afternoon...
