...siege of heavy rain and a scent-bedeviling east wind, many dogs got confused, but one liver-and-white pointer bitch felt right at home on Maytag's acres. Bouncing eagerly through the sedge grass. Just Rite Roz flushed her first covey 15 minutes after her handler, Druggist Bill Swift of Selma, Ala., let her go. Swift's whistled commands moved Roz through the course as though she were on a long leash-a series of short blasts sent her roaming, a long blast brought her back. Coolly, she ignored the occasional roar of a shotgun fired...
Quiet rebellion flared again at M.I.T. last night, as all but five residents of Baker House boycotted the evening meal for the second time in a week. The students there had boycotted last Friday night's meal of liver and fish in protest against the poor food served in the dining hall...
...dining hall chose to serve liver and fish again last night, and it was felt by many that this food had been sitting in storage since it was boycotted on Friday. A letter suggesting this was distributed to all men in the dormitory Tuesday night...
When doctors suspect disease in a deep-seated vital organ, e.g., the heart or liver, it may be dangerous or downright impossible to take a tissue sample (biopsy specimen) for microscopic examination. Biochemistry may supply a neat if not simple solution, says Dr. Felix Wróblewski of Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute. Instead of cutting for a tissue sample, it may be enough for the doctor to get a little blood from the patient and analyze its enzymes...
...chemically complex enzymes serve the body as catalysts, usually in minute quantities. In disease, the relative concentration of some enzymes increases. After a heart attack, Dr. Wróblewski points out, there is a rise in several enzymes, including serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGO-T) and lactic dehydrogenase (SLD). Liver diseases cause release into the blood of SGO-T and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGP-T). Careful and repeated measuring of several enzymes can pinpoint disease in a particular organ. Examples: a high level of SGO-T, without elevation in SGP-T, gave an index of President Eisenhower's progress...
