...materials have changed, the anesthesiologist's equipment has become as complex as the cockpit of a space capsule. Behind the screen that isolates the patient's head from the rest of his body, the anesthesiologist is surrounded by cylinders of oxygen and anesthetic gases, dials and valves to indicate and control their flow rates, electronic equipment to give continuous readings of the patient's pulse, breathing rate, blood pressure, and the oxygen concentration in his blood. One recent addition to the anesthesiologist's kit is an oscilloscope screen across which as many as half a dozen...
...Naval Medical Center in Bethesda. To assist him in the operation, Dr. Hallenbeck brought his Mayo colleague, Dr. Donald C. McIlrath, 36. Behind his distinguished patient's head, in the vital role of senior anesthesiologist, controlling the unconscious patient's breathing and monitoring his heartbeat and blood-oxygen level, he stationed Dr. Edward P. Didier, 40, assisted by the Navy's anesthesiologist, Dr. Robert J. Van Houten...
...municipalities combined. Americans who once could be excused a superior attitude about sanitation after traveling abroad, now come home to find that their own drinking water may come from rivers into which steel mills pour pickling liquors, paper mills disgorge wood fibers that decay and use up oxygen, and slaughterhouses dump the blood, fat and stomach contents of animals. Pollution has become such a problem that it is all but impossible to calculate the probable cost of cleaning up the streams. A conservative estimate: at least $40 billion over the next decade...
...languished until researchers began to coat nose cones with it to resist high re-entry heat. Next month California's Super Temp Corp. and Tar Card Co will begin marketing $8.95 tobacco pipes lined with pyrolytic graphite. The fuel cell, which generates power by converting hydrogen and oxygen into electricity and water, was a laboratory curiosity until General Electric put it in Gemini. Now General Dynamics is using the fuel cell to produce electricity aboard a one-man submarine, and Allis-Chalmers is using it to power experimental spot welders, golf carts, tractors and forklift trucks...
...into a drifting, tumbling flight. They had to scrub some of the remaining photographic experiments that required them to use the thrusters to get into a picture-taking position. Ground control was also worrying about the fuel-cell system again. The process of generating electricity by mixing hydrogen with oxygen was producing much too much of that inevitable byproduct: water. Ground control feared that the spacecraft was running out of storage space for water and that it threatened to back up into the cells and knock them out. Kraft informed Conrad of the problem and asked, "How's that...
