...Physiologist John Raymond Murlin of the University of Rochester announced that he and assistants have just perfected a compound of insulin and hexylresorcinol which may be swallowed as a tablet. It is effective because the hexylresorcinol neutralizes pepsin and acid, and emulsifies fat. Thus there remains nothing to impede insulin's absorption by the diabetic's sugar-laden body...
...stimulation to any spot in a cat's hind brain radiates to other control spots in the hind brain, since in every cat which Drs. Clark & Ward trepanned, the single stimulus set off an unvarying sequence of all the cat's actions. This suggested what every notable physiologist has hoped to prove-that there is a particular spot in the hind brain for the control of every muscle in the body...
...easy to see how you made this mistake since the four brothers were present at the Atlantic City convention. The other two are Dr. A. F. Shull, an animal geneticist, and Dr. C. A. Shull, a plant physiologist of Chicago University. (Dr. A. F. Shull is the geneticist of the University of Michigan...
After five years' effort to synthesize a harmless, efficient local anesthetic, a Columbia University Research physiologist, Dr. Raymond Lester Osborne, in Science last week reported success. Ever since Dr. Carl Roller, an Austrian who now practises ophthalmology in Manhattan, discovered in 1884 that cocaine deadens sensation long enough for a minor operation, doctors worried because i) cocaine may start a bad narcotic habit, 2) cause a dangerous shock to the system. Best substitute has been procaine (usually called novocain), synthesized in 1905 by a German. But procaine causes capillaries to expand. Thus, 1) an incision may bleed dangerously...
...sedan parked in the street at Guilford, Conn., police found two dead persons who had apparently been overcome by carbon monoxide fumes, though the ignition was shut off. To prove to baffled police that the victims could not have been asphyxiated when the car was in the open, Yale Physiologist Yandell Henderson entered the tightly-closed sedan, sat safely inside 25 minutes with the motor running...
