RhoGAM was produced by Ortho Research Foundation in collaboration with its developers, Dr. Vincent J. Freda and Dr. John G. Gorman of Columbia University and Dr. William Pollack of Ortho. Together with the necessary laboratory work, the RhoGAM treatment will add about $100 to maternity bills, but obstetricians with Rh-negative patients will undoubtedly insist...
...devised by Dr. Vincent J. Freda and Dr. John G. Gorman of Columbia University, working with Dr. William Pollack of Ortho Research Foundation, the new technique is to vaccinate the mother immediately after the birth of her first Rh-positive child with a blood fraction containing other people's anti-Rh antibodies. These stifle development of a lifelong "active" immunity and in stead provide her system with a short lived "passive" immunity, and her system is far less likely to develop virulent antibodies. So far, reports Ortho, of 825 women treated with the fraction, only one became sensitized...
...John McLean Morris and Endocrinologist Gertrude van Wagenen told the American Fertility Society that one compound has been effective in rabbits and monkeys. It causes no harmful side effects and no malformations in the newborn even when taken during pregnancy. This compound, ORF-3858 of New Jersey's Ortho Research Foundation, has not yet been approved for human trials...
...last week Dr. William K. Kerr of Toronto's famed Banting Institute reported that he had found similar cancer-causing chemicals in the urine of heavy smokers. The villain in the piece, reported Dr. Kerr and his colleagues at the University of Toronto, is a group called the ortho-aminophenols...
...smoked but quit for a while during the experiment, some of whom did not smoke but took it up for a while for the sake of science. The results were the same in both groups: men who were using cigarettes excreted in their urine abnormally large amounts of an ortho-aminophenol known to be capable of causing cancer. Going off cigarettes reversed the effect. The researchers' conclusion: inhaling smoke into the lungs, a practice that would seem to have no bearing on cancer of the bladder, is directly related to that disease through the complex chemistry of human metabolism...
