...Richard H. Overholt found that too many of his patients got little benefit and still suffered from the "tyranny and cruelty" of asthma. Now, in the A.M.A. Journal, he reports encouraging results, after all else had failed, from a. relatively simple operation on a tiny, little understood organ...
...Chiba University during World War II's blackout on international reporting of scientific advances. A huskily built, aggressive and imaginative surgeon, Dr. Nakayama reasoned that earlier operations on asthma patients had been based on mistaken theories of how human nerve networks function. He concluded that a minute organ buried in the fork of an artery in the neck, and no bigger than a grain of rice, is an important element in breathing control. Discovered in 1743, it is called the carotid body, or glomus caroticum*; there is one on each side of the neck...

According to Mrs. Bunting, the Radcliffe identity provides the incentives as well as the responsibility for full consideration to the special of women students...
Hunt thinks his experiments prove that rats feel small amounts of radiation almost as soon as it hits them. They may do it through some special sense organ or by general stimulation of their nervous tissue. Once the Navy scientists find out just how the rats do their radiation detection, they hope that the experiments can be extended to humans. The nerves and senses of rats and men are basically alike. Humans are presumably less sensitive, but if they are found to be sensitive at all, there is a chance that they can be trained to feel dangerous radiation...
...arterial vessels is likely to lead to infarction (destruction through lack of oxygenated blood) or atrophy (malfunction through an insufficient arterial blood supply of a segment of the kidney, proportional to the diameter of the artery involved, as there are no intra-renal capallary by-passes present in the organ...
