...they do talk Not being personally tough enough to associate with the likes of Patriot Game players. I can't say really whether this chatter is "realistic." Maybe there are folks who heap thousand or two-thousand word monologues of abuse--positively awesome displays of obscenity-peppered grammatically correct spleen, veritable Vesuviuses of vilification--on one another, apparently without stopping for breath. But they sure are fun to read Town...
Using a high-energy X-ray beam, researchers at Stanford administered a total of 2,000 rads of radiation (less than half the dosage for Hodgkin's disease) to the lymph nodes of the neck, chest, abdomen, thymus gland and spleen. Patients were treated five days a week for five weeks. Within a month, all the patients started to improve; six months after the irradiation, disagreeable symptoms such as morning stiffness, pain and swelling within the joints were all significantly reduced...
...Odre, 58, a widow from Buffalo and a devout Catholic who had just realized her longtime dream of seeing the Pope, was hit by a bullet that lodged in her abdomen. At week's end she was in serious condition after a long operation to remove her spleen...
...battle of wits with the Count--his "high spirits" reach only middling altitudes. As he counters the Count's designs on his bride-to-be Suzanne with plots of his own, he acts more like an lago than a Prospero. Karen Macdonald's Suzanne follows his lead--spleen overbalances sweetness. Harry Murphy's smug Count and Cheryl Ginannini's hoarse, pouting Countess are closer to the mark--he displays all the insight of a brontosaurs, she the passivity of a wildcat. These are Beaumarchais' hollow hulks of aristocracy waiting for someone...
Unfortunately, anything produced by mouse cells is foreign to humans and likely to trigger an immune reaction. So Stanford's Drs. Lennart Olsson and Henry Kaplan set out to create human hybridomas. They took spleen cells from victims of Hodgkin's disease, a form of cancer in which the spleen is usually removed during treatment. The cells had already been exposed to the chemical dinitrochlorobenzene and were making antibodies. These cells were then fused with cancerous bone-marrow cells, yielding hybrid cells that could churn out the antibody...
