...differs from most other vitamins in a second important respect: too much of it is as bad as too little. Severe or long-term excess causes chalky calcium deposits in arteries, notably the aorta, and in the kidneys, with stone formation and loss of kidney function. Eventually, this can be fatal. To guard...
...detectives have long suspected that John F. Kennedy suffered from Addison's disease, a gradual atrophy of the adrenal glands that in its milder stages can be contained by cortisone (which Kennedy took), but in more advanced cases can result in low resistance to infection, chronic backache and kidney failure. Now a University of Kansas pathologist, Dr. John Nichols, 46, has concluded in the A.M.A. Journal that Kennedy did have it, that an infection stemming from it almost killed him after his spinal operation in 1954. Nichols bases his conclusion on an article he came across in the November...
...inflammatory process overshoots. The overshooting has long been clear in the case of extensive burns, when the body builds too much scar tissue, and in rheumatoid arthritis, when the inflammation becomes recurrent and does permanent, crippling damage. Reports at Brook Lodge also implicated an overzealous inflammatory reaction in some kidney diseases, and made it a suspect in two still commoner diseases, diabetes and even atherosclerosis...
Chasing Marlin. Evidence of the Duke's selling success is his $175,000 house that sprawls behind a seven-foot wall at Newport Beach. Amidst the semitropical garden setting are eleven rooms, seven baths and a projection studio.

He has had two previous wives (both also Latin American), four other children and twelve grandchildren...
...including enzymes, to remove the linkage tails, Dr. Nishihara pours collagen into thin sheets resembling cellophane. The resulting membrane makes fine, easily digestible sausage casing. It also gave the Rogosin Labs' Dr. Rubin and Dr. Kurt Stenzel an idea for its first medical application-use in the artificial kidney, which has a filter membrane of sausage-casing cellophane. In laboratory glassware the collagen membrane has already done a better filtering job than cellophane; specially prepared collagen sheets will now be tested in artificial kidneys for animals in the laboratory...
