This was a germ-proof pump. By suitable ingress and outlet, Dr. Lindbergh was able to force oxygen or other gases into the continuously circulating fluid and draw it off again. Thus he had a mechanical duplicate of the lungs, heart and blood vessels. Nothing remained but to modify this apparatus so that Dr. Carrel could attach a heart, kidney or ovary...
...nourish those organs, they circulated growth-activating fluids which Dr. Lillian Eloise Baker of the Rockefeller Institute supplied them, containing blood serum, insulin, thyroxine, vitamin A, vitamin C, etc. The ''lungs'' of the apparatus refreshed the "blood" with a steady injection of air composed of 40% oxygen, 3% carbon dioxide, the balance nitrogen. The whole apparatus was kept at blood heat in an incubator, was rocked so that "blood" pulsed through the organ, almost exactly as in life...
...irritable, laughs and cries easily, becomes angry and excited at the least provocation, is comparatively insensitive to cold. An unfailing test for exophthalmic goitre is the basal metabolism rate, measured by a simple breathing machine. If after a long rest in bed, her lungs consume 50% to 100% more oxygen than a normal person, the suspect undoubtedly has an overactive thyroid. Women are much more often afflicted than...
Before freezing the guinea pig last week, Dr. Wiliard injected sodium citrate into its veins to prevent its blood from clotting after the heart ceased beating. Next he put the creature, a soft, brown handful, into an asphyxiating chamber which he pumped full of ether and oxygen. When the guinea pig was unconscious Dr. Willard replaced the etheroxygen with carbon dioxide, and with that atmosphere slowly cooled the guinea pig until it was ice-hard. In that dead state the hard, brown handful remained several hours...
Intestinal Worms do not thrive in fresh air. That fact led Lewis W. Butz & Dr. William Alfred LaLande of Philadelphia to make 300 wormy puppies swallow some drugs which released oxygen in their guts. Worms left immediately. The drugs: terpineol, diheptanol peroxide, ozonized olive oil, ozonized cotton seed oil. When the same drugs were poured into a tumbler full of the round worms which infest babies, the worms promptly died. But up to last week Researchers Butz & LaLande had not dared to try the drugs on babies...
