...Billion Cells. If pneumococci were indeed involved, the penicillin should have killed them. But Washkansky did not get better. Instead, his white-blood-cell count plummeted alarmingly. As is usual after major surgery, it had been high-about three times the normal. Now it fell within a few hours to a low normal. In an effort to keep the count from dropping fatally close to zero, the hematologists centrifuged eight pints of fresh blood to separate the white cells and infused an estimated 25 billion of them into an arm vein. Even then Washkansky's white count...
...shaped glass-fiber frame. The zippered bag encases the woman from the armpits down. As the pregnant mother relaxes in a chair, a hose attached to the frame draws air out of the enclosure, reducing air pressure on the abdomen by as much as 3 Ibs. per square inch. Normal pressure within the abdomen remains constant, pushing out the abdominal muscle as decompression outside increases...
Better than Normal. For the child, the benefits of decompression seem even more significant. Children born after a course of decompression during pregnancy appear to develop faster, both physically and mentally. Heyns is understandably tentative about such results. But he believes that decompression improves the circulation of blood-and therefore oxygen-from mother to fetus, giving it a developmental advantage over a child born after a normal, unaided pregnancy...
...been possible to prove the benefits to babies beyond the shadow of a doubt. But studies seem to bear out his belief. South African babies born after prenatal decompression have scored, on the average, about 18% higher than normally born South African white children in tests based on the landmarks of infant development mapped out by Child Psychologist Arnold Gesell. In one group of decompression babies, 16% scored at least 48% higher. At their first birthdays, six specially watched infants who had had the benefit of decompression during gestation and birth appeared to be as developed physically and behaviorally...
...Internal Revenue Service agreed, and last week issued a new regulation imposing taxes on the advertising income of the nonprofit journals. The tax will be calculated at the normal rate of 22% of the first $25,000 of taxable ad income, 48% on taxable revenues over $25,000. The publications will be able to deduct a standard $1,000, plus all expenses involved in selling advertising, plus all editorial costs above and beyond the income from subscriptions. A carryover tax deduction will be allowed if there is a net loss due to advertising expenses-but not if a loss...
