Dr. Dillaha's team recommends that when doctors do suspect a brown recluse bite, they give the patient a heavy injection of a cortisone-type hormone, and repeat it, in stepped-down dosage, every other...

General Electric scientists have irradiated thin strips of plastic, etched the fission tracks with acid, and produced a material of great potential medical significance-a sensitive sieve that duplicates the filtering capacity of human membranes...
