...professor of cardiology at New York Medical College. At a conference on cardiology at the Texas Heart Institute in Houston last week, Russek claimed that drugs and other forms of medical care are far better treatment than surgery for most cases of angina pectoris, the pains arising from the oxygen-starved heart muscle that can be forerunners of heart attacks. Said he: "More lives have been lost through bypass surgery than have been saved...
...that can control the causes of angina and the crippling heart attacks that often follow. Russek treated one series of 102 patients suffering from severe angina for six years with a special combination of drugs: propranolol (Inderal), a drug that slows down the heart and reduces its need for oxygen, and long-acting nitrates that dilate the blood vessels and increase blood flow to the heart muscle. Only 1.2% of Russek's coronary patients died each year-about the same mortality rate from heart attacks as among apparently healthy people in the same age range...
...process, called Sonozone, practically eliminates that leftover pollution with a swift one-two punch. A small, vibrating metal disk at the bottom of a tank through which the sewage water flows sends out a steady stream of ultrasonic energy. At the same time, ozone, a highly active form of oxygen that readily combines with other materials, is bubbled into the tank from a nearby generator, which produces the gas by shooting electric arcs through ordinary...
...Office of Coal Research has helped to sponsor four pilot plants, and eight more are planned. Each uses a different system, but all are based on a complicated process that was pioneered in Germany in 1936. The technique starts by breaking down water into its components of hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen is combined in the presence of heat with the carbon in pulverized coal to produce methane, the main ingredient of natural...
Before the encounter, Astronaut Carr spotted a puzzling red color in the comet's tail. That may mean that Kohoutek has more moisture than most comets, for this tint suggests concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen, the two components of water. In other respects, Kohoutek's twin tails-one composed of dust particles, the other of glowing gases -seem to be developing normally. As the comet began its hairpin turn round the sun, the dust tail blown by the slight pressure of sunlight continued to trail behind. But the plasma tail, interacting with the solar wind, moved...
