...Miley had already used ultraviolet blood irradiation, first conceived in 1928 by a Seattle physicist and X-ray dealer named Emmet K. Knott, to cure septicemia or "blood poisoning" (TIME, June 24, 1940). He found that the ultraviolet rays not only killed the septicemic bacteria in the blood stream but increased the oxygen content of the blood-just the thing, he suspected, for asthmatics wheezy to the point of strangulation. In the last three years he has tried the Knott technique on 24 asthma patients, all of whom defied treatment by conventional methods such as nasal surgery, allergy studies, adrenalin...
...sulfa-making American Cyanamid Co.) have developed a method of measuring the acidity of the several hundred possible sulfa-compounds and thus 'predicting their efficacy. But such predictions are complicated by other factors: some sulfa-drugs are not absorbed by the body and thus never reach the blood stream; others undergo chemical changes in the body and thus lose their powers...
...fight for every foot they gained. This week the Germans were trying to advance in two directions through the Caucasus. One force, striking toward Grozny and the Caspian, had been stalled for the past two months on the Terek River, which German broadcasts described as "the accursed stream where so much German blood has already been shed." Another spearhead had moved from captured Novorossiisk toward the great oil port of Batum. It did not get far before the Russians counterattacked...
...Caltech biochemists believe that their discovery is further proof that immunization, whose physiological mechanics has long been a major mystery, is a molecular phenomenon. In the blood stream of animals are large protein molecules called serum globulin. If a bacterium, virus, poison molecule or other "antigen" is near the point where these molecules are formed, the adaptable globulin molecules change their shape and assume structures complementary to those of the invading antigens, so that they can combine with them and neutralize them. After the infection or poisoning has been overcome, these changed globulin molecules remain in the blood as antibodies...
