...hooked into a loop of the small bowel in about a month if the transplant remains healthy. So far, the transplanted kidney has effectively filtered the patient's blood and made urine; the pancreatic-duodenal graft has done its work so well that she has needed no insulin since her surgery...
...hold on the stockmarket. What happens when a forbidden industry is legitimized needs careful analysis; evidently criminals cannot always survive competition, evidently sometimes they can. A better understanding of market characteristics would be helpful. The question is important in the field of narcotics. We could easily put insulin and antibiotics into the hands of organized crime by forbidding their sale; we could do the same with a dentist's novocaine. (We could, that is, if we could enforce it, the black market would be too competitive for any organized monopoly to arise.) If narcotics were not illegal there could...
Double Loss. Facilities to test for primary aldosteronism exist in only a few medical centers. But if Dr. Conn is even half right, a puzzling feature of much diabetes (TIME, June 25) may be explained-why so many patients have a normal or even a high insulin level but fail to metabolize sugars properly. And some diabetes patients will certainly be referred to blood-pressure specialists, who in turn will consult endocrinologists. If the diagnosis of an adrenal tumor is confirmed, a surgeon will then have the difficult job of finding and removing a nodule only about one-sixth...
...doctors were already recommending amputation. But Dr. Massart was reminded of other stubborn, non-healing sores that he had seen, mainly on aged and debilitated patients; he remembered that such sores had responded to injections of callicrein (Kallikrein in Germany and trade-named Padutin by Bayer), a byproduct of insulin extraction. Why not try the same stuff on the radiation sores? Medical scientists had always considered radiation burns distinct from all other types of injury. Naive or not, Dr. Massart figured that there was little to lose. He gave the technician injections of callicrein...
Died. Dr. James Bertram Collip, 72, Belleville, Ont., biochemist, purifier and co-developer (with Nobel Prizewinners Sir Frederick Banting and Dr. J.J.R. MacLeod, and Dr. Charles H. Best) of insulin for the treatment of diabetes, who also won world renown for his study of hormones, which regulate the body's metabolic functions, becoming one of the pioneers in the isolation of wonder-working ACTH and cortisone; following a cerebral hemorrhage; in London...
