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 Unpublished so far, the technique originated this summer with Physiologist Baruch Bromberger, 40, and Dr.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...
...were quickly run up to a simulated altitude of 38.000 ft., where the bends can be expected. They suffered none. Dr. Balke asked the men to do deep knee bends every three minutes (exercise speeds the onset of the bends, intensifies the pain). Still, most of them felt nothing. Physiologist Balke ordered five knee bends every two minutes. At this, most of the men felt twinges and began the descent to higher pressures...
...Geoffrey Pratt suddenly collapsed. His face was bright pink with carbon monoxide poisoning from the exhaust of the Sno-Cat that he had been driving. Fuchs radioed for help and Rear Admiral George J. Dufek, U.S. Antarctic leader at McMurdo Sound, sent two Navy Neptunes with oxygen and British Physiologist Griffiths Pugh, an expert on carbon monoxide poisoning. The weather made landing impossible, but the oxygen cylinders were dropped, and Dr. Pugh gave detailed instructions by radio. Soon the sick man was better, but even while he was still sick the Sno-Cats moved...
Catching up with the rumors, the Russians officially declared Laika dead (of asphyxiation) last week and declared that they never had any intention of bringing her back alive. Said Physiologist Aleksei Pokrovsky, trainer of space dogs: "Since the problem, of recovery has not yet been solved, it would have been useless to add to the satellite's weight by burdening it with such apparatus...
