Last week the child, thereby saved during a recent delicate pulmonary-valve operation at Denver's National Jewish Hospital, was recovering normally. Unpublished so far, the technique originated this summer with Physiologist Baruch Bromberger, 40, and Dr. Paolo Caldini, 30, an Italian physician working in the U.S. on a Fulbright grant. They went to work on ventricular fibrillation, which is still a grave danger when a patient's body is cooled for heart surgery (hypothermia). The cooling itself protects the brain from lack of oxygen (anoxia), has greatly advanced modern heart surgery. But hearts cooled to an average...
Gray died of smallpox, contracted after treating it in his small nephew. But the book had already given him the fame of a far older man. Today platoons of top physician-editors preside over every new edition, and like every healthy institution, it has markedly changed through the years.

World War II gave the isotopes another use: the atom bomb, which the cyclotron helped make possible by producing purified uranium 235. This achievement by Lawrence...
...objections to his frankly polemic theme: natural childbirth. He creates a picture that is dramatically first-rate even without the birth scene, puts it together with a blend of personal compassion and cinematic skill. In the almost fable-simple tale, Old Pro Jean Gabin plays a weary, health-broken physician who moves to a tiny mountain village in the South of France to live out his years. With him he brings his conviction, gained from years of work in the slums of Paris, that much of the pain and fear of childbirth can be eliminated with proper psychological and physical...
