...varsity defense played flawlessly except for the third period hiatus. Fullback Tim Morgan again filled in for the injured Captain Floyd Moloy and played one of his best games. The halfback line followed the same pattern, and only one substitution was made in the entire game...
...year history of the papacy has there been a clearer example of the life-giving powers of devotion to piety and duty (though there were longer-lived Popes) than Pius XII. Though he had been severely ill several times, and was eventually found to have a hiatus hernia (TIME, Dec. 27, 1954), he functioned with full efficiency well beyond his 80th birthday and until the strokes that swiftly killed him (see RELIGION...
...three courses are Comparative Literature 166, History 169, and Humanities 130. Professor Guerard's course in "Forms of the Modern Novel" played to capacity crowds in 1956, and there is every indication that it will draw as well next fall, after a year's hiatus.

The acclaim for his book, The Crisis of the Old Order, will probably increase the demand for his course...
...time to use the replacement tube, i.e., the severed jejunum. Dr. Swan cut a slit in the diaphragm beside the hiatus (where the esophagus normally passes through the diaphragm). Then, through the slit he pulled up the jejunum with its trailing tentacles of arteries and veins. Four and a half hours after operation's start, he was able to begin the fine sewing necessary to join the jejunum to the upper end of the esophagus. This gave Mike a short-circuited digestive tract: throat to gullet to jejunum, with the stomach and duodenum as spectators. Dr. Swan...

What distinguished his technique from similar opera tions for this purpose was that he was careful to hook up with the cardia, part of the valve which keeps acid stomach juices from percolating back up toward the mouth. (Without a cardia, he is convinced, the patient would later have ulcers or other upsets.) This stitching done. Mike had two digestive tracts, beginning with the inverted "Y" at the hiatus...
