Last week the A.M.A. Journal reported an experiment, directed by Chicago Physiologist A. C. Ivy and partly financed by the Red Cross, which measured the amount of air forced into and out of the lungs of nine volunteers and 109 newly dead bodies by nine methods of artificial respiration. The conclusion: a combination of Schaefer's push and Emerson's pull is best. "Those who now are indoctrinated with the Schaefer prone pressure method," wrote Dr. Ivy's associates, "can double the ventilating efficiency ... by lifting the hips 4 inches 12 times each minute, alternating with...
...three W's and three D's of living," said the University of Chicago's famed Physiologist Anton J. ("Ajax") Carlson on the eve of his 75th birthday, "are work, work, work from diaper days to death. The goal of the current philosophy of the welfare state-security from cradle to grave whether you work or not-is both unscientific and unobtainable...
Senior member of the research team which gave this encouraging news to the Chicago Society of Internal Medicine and the Chicago Heart Association was Physiologist Andrew C. Ivy, vice president of the University of Illinois. Under his general direction, an astonishingly simple machine called the "flicker photometer" was perfected by Dr. Louis Richard Krasno, an assistant professor at the university...
Working in a similar field was a 68-year-old Swiss physiologist, Dr. Walter Rudolph Hess, director of Zurich University's Physiological Institute. A specialist in the circulatory and nervous systems, Dr. Hess studied the reaction of animals to electric shocks. By applying electrodes to parts of a cat's brain he was able to make the animal do what it would normally do if it saw a dog, i.e., hiss, etc. By experiments, Dr. Hess was able to determine how parts of the brain control organs of the body...
Never Mind Your Manners. Almost as extreme as his bitterness against the Freudians is Salter's veneration of Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, the physiologist who coined the term "conditioned reflex." (Pavlov's classic example: a dog which has heard a bell ring whenever it was fed will eventually drool whenever it hears the bell, even though no food is offered.) The behaviorist school is founded on what Salter calls "the firm scientific bedrock of Pavlov." Its main tenet: man is a creature of habit; he can be "conditioned" to the habit of not even hearing a pistol fired next...
