...means complete, success with X rays, and with two classes of drugs-the anti-cancer chemicals and cortisonetype hormones. They have devised increasingly complex methods of matching white blood cells to reduce antibody formation, and of making antilymphocyte serum in horses to reduce the white cells' activity. This partial success has been sufficient to give today's recipient of a kidney transplant (from close kin or even an unrelated cadaver) at least a 65% chance of surviving...
...Partial and partly reassuring answers are being reported this week to hematologists meeting in Toronto by Dr. Herbert F. Oettgen speaking for a research team at Manhattan's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. L-asparaginase is so scarce, besides being forbiddingly expensive,º that Dr. Oettgen could report on only 14 patients. Even this small number of cases made it clear that the enzyme is likely to be effective mainly, against only one common form of "blood cancer" - acute lymphatic leukemia. All seven patients with this type of disease showed prompt and marked improvement; among them were three children...

...whitish-grey mush surrounded by a tough casing, running through the hollow centers of the vertebrae and intervertebral discs. Inside the cord are nerve cells and main nerve tracts like a telephone installer's spaghetti wire. Although smaller nerves in the extremities may regenerate after injury and partial restoration of function is possible if the cord is not completely severed, there is virtually no precedent of rejoining and restoring function to a completely severed spinal cord in man. Dr. Murray offered a simple explanation of previous failure and his apparent success: when a cord is severed it retracts, thus...
