Last week's visitors saw a few drops of hemoglobin, blood's red coloring matter, being separated from the blood serum. In the Svedberg centrifuge this takes about six hours. By gravity sedimentation alone it would require 180 years. Du Pont expects the apparatus to shed light on the sizes and weights of the "giant" protein molecules in rubber, wool, silk, cellulose, hundreds of plastics...
...overcoming pernicious anemia (TIME. Nov. 5, 1934). Important doctors completely filled Mount Sinai Hospital's auditorium, listened decorously while Dr. Whipple, his throat raw with a cold, described how blood is formed and regenerated within the body. A significant new fact: infections do not prevent the formation of hemoglobin which the body needs to recover from disease, but. do prevent the release of that essential iron-containing substance into the blood stream where it can do the body good...
...addition to the more obvious theoretical and practical questions involved, the results should be of a significance to the questions of prolonged auoxaemia, depletion of the alkali reserve, the effects of training, the production of red cells, and the varieties of hemoglobin...
...recent experiment by Dr. George Alexander Gray of San Jose, feeding apricots, peaches, and prunes to 146 anemic patients, showed that there was a definite, efficient, and economical return of the hemoglobin and erythrocyte count to normal upon the ingestion of one-half a pound of dried fruit per day over a period of from eight to 16 weeks...
Last week Professor William Ruthzauff Amberson of the University of Tennessee believed that he had progressed one important step beyond Moscow's technique because he had kept cats alive on nothing but ox blood. His method is to break down the bovine hemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells which carries oxygen throughout the body. This cell-free hemoglobin Professor Amberson mixes with Ringer's solution, common table and other salts in distilled water resembling the constitution of blood serum. Cats perfused completely with Dr. Amberson's blood mixture have lived as long as 36 hours. Then...
