...about how performance may be affected by the 7,434-ft. altitude. Sportsmen in low-lying Britain and Belgium, with no facilities at hand for high-altitude training, have gone so far as to suggest moving the Olympic endurance events to sea level-say, steaming Veracruz. An eminent American physiologist has proposed that the U.S. establish a base camp, Everest style, on the Mexican coast, and fly athletes to Mexico City on split-second timing to compete during the first hour after their arrival, before the altitude has time to erode their performance...
...physiologist's way of saying that continued, excessive demands have depleted the oxygen normally stored in the tissues and red blood cells. It takes time to make good the deficit...
...select Society of Fellows, a group of graduate students who were allowed to pursue their studies without worrying about Ph.D. requirements,* Schlesinger plunged into research on the Age of Jackson. In 1940, he also plunged into marriage. His bride was Marian Cannon, daughter of a Harvard Medical School physiologist and now a painter of children's portraits. In 1941 his studies yielded a series of lectures on Jacksonian democracy that became the nucleus for the book that later made him famous...
...known hazards of the currently glamorous sport of scuba diving, such as Cousteau's "rapture of the deep" and the decompression "bends," a Swedish physician has added another. It is of such deceptive simplicity that it has been generally overlooked. Pressure changes in the middle ear, reports Aviation Physiologist Claes E. G. Lundgren in the British Medical Journal, may cause dizziness so severe that the afflicted diver literally does not know which way is up and may swim to the bottom when he wants to head for the surface...
...supply a lifesaving amount of a missing clot-promoting protein. But all too often, new blood or plasma cannot be pumped into a "bleeder" in sufficient quantity without risk of overloading his circulatory system. Some concentrates of the vital protein are available, but they are expensive. Now Stanford Physiologist Judith Graham Pool has developed a simple, cheap and effective method of concentrating the protein in so potent a form that small amounts can stop hemorrhages...
