...Alvin J. Glasky, 32, and Lionel Simon, 31, worked in their spare time on a theory of memory developed by Sweden's Neurobiologist Holger Hyden (TIME, Feb. 10, 1961). According to this theory, memory depends on a process in which molecules of ribonucleic acid (RNA), or possibly subordinate protein molecules, are coded to record a particular event and then become lodged in certain nerve cells...
...transverse colon, leaving the remaining 15 to 20 feet of the small bowel as a nonfunctioning blind loop. When the man recovered from the operation, he continued to overeat, but the food digested in his stomach and duodenum passed more directly into his colon. He absorbed enough protein and starch to keep him alive but not enough fat to maintain his weight...
...every four minutes. Still others turn out smoked ham and bacon in twelve to 24 hours (v. 56 hours in the ordinary process) by electronic controls, automatically pump salt cure into ham, package bacon at the speed of 60 units a minute and stuff sausages in a new high-protein edible casing...
...worst and most general health problem in the Amazon, says the fleet's health director, Dr. Max Benzake, is simple malnutrition. The basic staples in the area are yuca, bananas, some fish and wild game-a diet woefully deficient in protein. Children almost never get milk. Everybody drinks polluted water, and so practically everybody has a variety of intestinal parasites...
...Pool learned that frozen plasma, when slowly thawed, leaves behind a residue rich in antihemophilic globulin (AHG), the protein that is lacking in the blood of hemophiliacs. Spun in a centrifuge, the protein can be concentrated further. Refrozen, it can be stored for relatively long periods in sterile plastic bags. Thus far the AHG concentrate, which is being prepared by a pair of San Francisco-area blood banks, has been used successfully on 14 patients in four California hospitals. Researchers may some day learn how to help hemophiliacs make their own AHG, perhaps through transplants of AHG-producing tissue...
