...Expedition made relatively little progress during its last few weeks of spring travel. The soft ice slowed the dog sleds down considerably, and unfavorable ice drifting occasionally pushed them farther south than they could sled north. One sled was nearly lost when a recently refrozen "ice lead" or channel broke under the sled's weight. Frequent pressure ridges (the ice rubble, sometimes 80 feet high, that results from two large ice floes' collision) also slowed them down...
...short time, Dr. Wangensteen explained, knocks out much of its capacity for producing hydrochloric acid, thus reducing the amount of the corrosive juice that flows into the duodenum, the next chamber down the digestive tract. If acid production should bounce back, he said, the stomach could safely be refrozen. (Whether the technique should be used for gastric ulcers, in the stomach itself, is a separate, unresolved question...
...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...
...entire unit from the larger console, placing the console's detachable speaker into a special compartment in the smaller circuit, plugging into any electrical outlet. Price: $229.95 to $379.95. Neat Meat. A new method of packaging frozen meat so that it can be kept for a year or refrozen after defrosting is being introduced by Wrigley supermarkets of Detroit.' After being trimmed, meat cuts are blast-frozen to -20°, encased in two thin, crystal-like, nontoxic sheets of plastic, which seal the meat from the air and protect the color and flavor...
...deep-freeze burial place; the parts that were found, still frozen, had changed little through the centuries. As the skin and flesh began to thaw, workmen embalmed them with formaldehyde, glycerin and alum. They were flown to Manhattan's American Museum of Natural History and quickly refrozen...
