...sensation of his year, had won his niche in the matador's hall of fame by his "immortal quite" (series of passes with the cape drawing the bull away from the fallen picador). But at the height of his fame & fortune, he was so badly gored in the lung that he had to quit for the season, later announced his permanent retirement. He continued to live at matador pace, scattering money like crumbs to many a hungry bird. His mistress, Marilena, was Ricardo's greatest expense and biggest trouble. When she saw there was a bottom...
...infants, such applications are not free from danger, for experience has shown that the oil may be drawn into the lung and give rise to a fatal pneumonia. For this reason most pediatric services now prohibit the use of oily substances in the noses of infants under two years of age.''-Dr. John Levi Rice, New York City Health Commissioner, in a warning to his community last week...
Three weeks ago Publisher Charles C. Thomas of Springfield, Ill. issued 1,500 copies of a small monograph called The Lung by Anatomist William Snow Miller of the University of Wisconsin. Price was $7.50. The issue was sold out in a fortnight and last week zealous doctors offered as high as $50 for a copy. This rare situation in the history of medical publishing was attributable to the fact that in the history of medicine there had never before appeared so thoroughgoing a study of the human lung. Dr. Miller's 20g-page monograph-including an affectionate dedication...
...enters each lung through a bronchus, which branches from the windpipe (trachea). A bronchus subdivides successively into bronchioles, air ducts (ductuli alveolares), air pockets (atria), lobules. Lobules bulge with many air sacs (acini) which look like clusters of grapes. Walls of the lobules adjoin walls of capillaries in which the pulmonary veins and pulmonary arteries terminate. The pulmonary arteries bring dark blood loaded with carbon dioxide from the body's tissues to the lobules. The lobules treat the blood with fresh oxygen, leaving it pure and crimson...
Anatomists and physicians have known a good deal of all this since 1628, when William Harvey published his De Motu Cordis. But enough remained unknown to cause Dr. Miller 47 years of research. It was he who discovered the lungs' atria. He proved that the significant unit of lung architecture is the lobule. He systematized the whole lung anatomy, rationalized its physiology. He anatomized the tubercle of Ghon, the spot in the lung from which certain cases of pulmonary tuberculosis develop in children. He guided a former assistant, Professor Olof Larsell of the University of Oregon, in mapping...
