Died. Dr. Anton Julius ("Ajax") Carlson, 81, peppery, renowned Swedish-born physiologist, leading authority on nutrition, old age and alcoholism (TIME, Feb. 10, 1941), longtime member (and head, 1916-40) of the University of Chicago's physiology department; in Chicago...
University of Illinois Physiologist Andrew Conway Ivy has been at the center of a medical storm ever since he an nounced, five years ago, that he was experimenting with a secret cancer drug named Krebiozen. After studying several independent, critical assays, the A.M.A. flatly rejected Krebiozen as a treatment. Undismayed, Ivy and two colleagues stuck to their work, have now summarized it in their first public report...
...because everybody has suffered it, but nobody can tell anybody else. Dictionaries are hopeless.* The late Sir Charles Sherrington, who collected no fewer than 22 honorary doctorates for his brilliant researches in physiology, called pain "the psychical adjunct of an imperative protective reflex." That may be fine for another physiologist, but it is no help to a man with a nail through his foot. Although pain is what drives most patients to a doctor, it is the symptom to which, all too often, doctors pay least attention. One good reason: it is the subject about which they know least...
...middle-aged U.S. citizen today is physiologically at least four years "younger" than his grandfather was at the same age. So said Dr. Hardin Jones last week in a report to the Western Gerontological Society in Los Angeles. By analyzing disease and mortality tables, Dr. Jones, University of California physiologist, has developed a new theory based on the proposition that infectious diseases and injuries cause successive impairment of the body's metabolic mechanisms. Conversely, the fewer diseases and injuries a person suffers, the less he ages...
...nation's medical research laboratories were stripped of their key men last week as 6,500 physiologists, biologists, pharmacologists, pathologists, nutritionists and immunologists swarmed into Atlantic City for meetings of their consortium, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, to tell of advances in their fight to gain life-saving knowledge. Outstanding items: ¶ The pituitary gland, long given homage as producer of the "master" hormone ACTH,* is itself the slave of a truly imperial hormone secreted by a part of the brain, reported Baylor University's Physiologist Roger Guillemin. From the hypothalamus, an ancient part...
