Carbide operates a factory in Alloy, W. Va., a company town, which emits five times as much dirt, dust, and particulate matter every day as the city of San Francisco. The death rate from lung cancer in this factory's county is three times the national average...
...effort at the Democratic nomination, in 1952, quickly collapsed because of his unshakable racial attitudes. Russell remained in the U.S. Senate for 38 years. There he alternated between outdated parochialism and respected service in the national interest. When he died at 73 last week of the complications of chronic lung disease, the Senate's ranking member and president pro tem was remembered for what he had accomplished-and by some for what he might better have left undone...
...jests. The play moves like a venomous centipede through rape, incest, fratricide, adultery and bloody multiple murder. Early on, Tourneur has Vendice say, "To be honest is not to be i' the world." It establishes the odor of a play that contains the stench of sin and a lung-blackening smog of corruption. Robert Brustein, who directs an able cast with a firm, brisk hand, doubtless sees The Revenger's Tragedy as a cautionary parable for a later age steeped in blood and death and degraded values. The trouble is that rubbing one's nose...
...Lung. Gluck's research team discovered that the fetal lung generally matures around the 35th week of pregnancy. This development is signaled by a change in the amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus. At that point, the level of a phospholipid known as lecithin usually rises sharply and surpasses the level of another lipid, sphingomyelin. To determine if this has occurred normally, the Gluck test uses transabdominal amniocentesis, a technique that involves inserting a sterile needle through the abdomen into the womb, drawing off a sample of amniotic fluid and measuring the lipid levels...
...lung directly if it is mature enough to come out and breathe," says Gluck. If the lung answers yes, the baby can be delivered immediately by induced labor or caesarean section. If the answer is no, labor can often be delayed until the lung is mature enough to function. Performed on more than 400 women in the past two years, the Gluck test has thus far proved 100% accurate...
