...live in an age of spaceships, genetic manipulation, the Internet and all kinds of unbelievable achievements. How could we not find a way to supply oxygen to that doomed submarine? The Russian ego has again proved that human lives are seemingly not worth a kopeck. The Kursk disaster was simply murder by the state. Shame on Putin! DIPTENDU CHAKRABORTY Toronto...
...take precedence. On Aug. 25, Justice Johnson backed doctors at the hospital and ruled that Jodie should be saved by detaching Mary. He said his judgment was based not on Jodie's interests but Mary's, reasoning that her harsh life would only worsen as low levels of oxygen in her blood further destroyed her brain and that stopping delivery of Jodie's blood wouldn't be a positive act of killing but a passive by-product of saving Jodie, like withdrawing food and water from a terminally ill patient--which is legal in Britain and the U.S. under certain...
...BLOOD DOPING In 1972 Dr. Bjorn Ekblom of Stockholm's Institute of Gymnastics and Sports drew a quart of blood from each of four athletes, removed the red cells and put them in cold storage. He reinfused the cells a month later and found that his subjects' increased oxygen-carrying capacity allowed them to run as much as 25% longer on a treadmill before reaching exhaustion. Blood doping was born. In 1984 U.S. Olympic cycling team coach Eddie Borysewicz set up a back-alley clinic in a Los Angeles motel room. Four of the seven athletes who doped won medals...
...longtime observer of Olympic sport says, "Athletes are going to Hemopure, and they're crazy. This new stuff--artificial bloods, tissue enhancers to increase oxygen profusion in the tissue--some of it can short out your system drastically. You OD on some of this stuff, you're dead...
BREATHING UNEASY Those nasal strips athletes wear to boost their performance may not be up to snuff. The theory is that the strips, which hold open nasal passages, allow more oxygen to get to hard-working muscles. Not so, according to a small study. The results, disputed by strip manufacturers, show that nasal devices are no better than a placebo in changing oxygen uptake or improving endurance...
