...Deaths were agreed that at least 15,000 of these lives could be saved if U. S. doctors were properly trained, U. S. hospitals adequately equipped. Urgently the Society called on medical schools and hospitals to expand their teaching and equipment, centralize their scattered units of resuscitation, anesthesia and oxygen therapy in a single department of gas therapy...
...Health Service and Bureau of Mines researchers have sought, through experiments on cats & dogs, to discover the cause of and remedy for such failures in resuscitation. They have found, reported Dr. Royd Ray Sayer of the U. S. P. H. S., that both carbon monoxide poisoning and lack of oxygen not only stop respiration but also injure brain cells and the central nervous system. Insufficient, therefore, is ordinary oxygen resuscitation. Victims must also have pressure on their brains eased by catharsis, spine punctures or bleeding. Roundly Dr. Sayer condemned the use of blood transfusions which, said he, by increasing brain...
Possibly a spectroscope, placed far out in space and trained on Earth, would show a similar lack of oxygen lines. Dr. Adams last week told how he finessed this physical difficulty by using earthshine...
...reflected journey to the moon, a third time on its trip back to Earth. Light from the moon's bright side, directly reflected from the sun, traverses Earth's atmosphere only once. Drs. Adams & Dunham found that the spectrum of earthshine showed three times as much oxygen as that of the moon's bright light...
Said Dr. Dunham: "This shows quite definitely that if the atmosphere of a planet should contain oxygen the presence of that gas would be revealed to an outside observer...
