...Hans Fischer achieved his first international fame two years ago. After 17 years of quiet research in his laboratory at Munich, he announced that he had succeeded in synthesizing hematin, the red iron core which carries oxygen into the blood (TIME, Jan. 7, 1929). He used pyrrol, a constituent of the common cure-all known as bone oil, subjected the colorless liquid to a complicated chemical treatment to obtain his results. The synthetic product he called hematine. Or ganic chemists are now experimenting with the substance, using it upon animals to de termine how doctors may employ it to cure...
...scientific inventions for deep-sea diving, began cruising about the spot fixed by Captain Hedbach, sounding the bottom methodically, inch by inch. They struck a ship, 400 ft. down. Rough sea held up operations for several days, then a steel diving shell was slung over the side, equipped with oxygen tanks, a telephone, inch-thick glass observation windows. Youngest of the Artiglio's divers, Alberto Bargellini, went down. Director of Operations Alberto Gianni hung breathlessly on the other end of the telephone. Tense minutes of waiting. Director Alberto fretted, cried into the transmitter: "What...
...Public Health, is a mechanical aid to breathing. It is a large casket into which the body of a patient with respiratory paralysis can be inserted. His head extends into the open air. A motor creates a vacuum in the respirator causing the chest to expand. Consequently stimulating oxygen and carbon dioxide may be sucked into the patient's lungs. When the respirator's vacuum is filled with air, the patient's lungs collapse, expelling their vitiated gases. Persistent repetition of this process often sustains the patient until his lungs regain their normal power. Last week Irving...
Instead of the old unwieldy magnesium powder pan, the new flashlamp looks like an ordinary incandescent bulb. Filled with oxygen, the bulb contains a specially coated filament and crumpled sheets of thin aluminum foil. When the circuit is closed the filament lights, ignites the aluminum foil. Each bulb is used only once. The lamp can be plugged in on an ordinary 115-volt alternating current circuit, or can be used with batteries. The flash lasts only 1/100 sec. Being completely self-contained, offering no fire hazard, the flashlamp can be used where flashlight photographs have never been taken before...
...Plain and an inhalator. The guards ceased their efforts at resuscitation to argue with Dr. Plain that the inhalator's carbon dioxide, which stimulates breathing, can harm lung tissue. He would not, they said, let anyone use an inhalator on one of their drowning patients. A pulmotor pumps oxygen into the lungs too quickly, in their opinion. As the life guards and doctor argued long and loud, police arrived with another inhalator. The police drove the life guards away, applied their inhalator. The victim, Hyman Getzkin, by that time was dead...
