Salk, Sabin, and other authorities and organizations had disagreed on the relative merits of the vaccines, but the dispute remained subdued until the AMA House of Delegates state, in March, 1961, that "the persistence of immunity induced by the oral [Sabin] vaccine may be of much longer duration than is the case with Salk vaccine and, in fact, the persistence of immunity may conceivably approach that induced by natural infection in type, degree, and duration." And while the AMA urged wider use of Salk injections until Sabin was licensed, it noted that the Sabin protects against both paralytic...
Pills for Men. The Chicago drug firm of G. D. Searle & Co., the first to sell an oral contraceptive, put its Enovid tablets (by prescription only) on the market only two years ago. Searle's sales jumped $12 million the first year, and 1,000,000 women users have since pushed sales to about $18 million a year. Last week New Jersey's Ortho Pharmaceutical subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson-already the nation's largest producer of vaginal contraceptives-entered the lucrative market with its new Ortho-Novum birth control tablets. The company expects that Ortho-Novum will...
Just about every major drug company in the U.S. is working on some sort of birth control product. Some of the drugs being tested may make the first oral contraceptives-which must be taken 20 times a month at a total cost of $3 -seem as ancient as camel froth. Indianapolis' Eli Lilly & Co. is experimenting with pills that have to be taken only once a month, and Ortho is working hard on a vaccine. Emko, a subsidiary of St. Louis' Sunnen Products, has won the endorsement of the Planned Parenthood Federation for an aerosol foam preparation that...
...panies within the Common Market, and from British and U.S. firms outside it, Winnaker does not seem very worried about the future. Nearly half of Hoechst's sales come from products developed by the company's scientists within the past ten years (among them: Rastinon, the first oral insulin for diabetics; Segontin, a drug for circulatory disturbances; Trevira, a polyester fiber for garments). Winnaker intends to keep up the flow. Hoechst's new research facility is so designed that next to each two-man experimental laboratory is another lab in which a development team will work...
Conceived by Pittsburgh Oral Surgeon Robert M. Hall, and manufactured by Ohio's Aro Corp., the lightweight (6% oz.) device looks like one of the ultra-highspeed modern dental drills, and is driven by compressed air. The air power is a big safety factor; it permits surgeons to use the drill around explosive anesthetics without fear of sparks. But whereas most dental drills are controlled by a foot brake, the new model has a fingertip on-off control. It can turn up to 100,000 revolutions per minute and come to a dead stop in a fraction...
