Pointing out that metabolic changes due to aging as well as localized inflammations, e.g., syphilis and TB, play a minor role, Blumenthal evolved his thesis through an intensive study of hemodynamics-the mechanics of blood flow and pressure within arterial walls. Cholesterol is carried evenly through the body with the blood. But neither stress on arterial walls nor hardening of the arteries is uniform; both tend to coincide at artery junctions, just as water forced through a pipe exerts greatest pressure at the joints. To stay healthy the arterial wall must remain elastic, expanding and contracting with blood pressure. Normal...
...easy to cure, but 53 had "potentially precancerous" conditions. Thirty-five men had benign tumors requiring medical attention; 59 suffered from high blood pressure. Some 250 other potentially serious, hitherto unsuspected ailments were found among the 412 volunteers. The chief ones: heart disease, diabetes, ulcers, enlarged prostates and active TB (one case...
...Haridon, "it was like camping. I like camping, but how could I work as a doctor?" As the weeks wore on, the young doctor was appalled by his task. The islanders refused to pay bills or take orders. Some 300 Senans were seriously ill with bronchitis, rheumatism and TB; many of the children had whooping cough. What lie de Sein needed, L'Haridon pleaded to mainland authorities, was a modern dispensary equipped with X ray to spot TB cases, plenty of drugs, and a helicopter to remove serious cases to the mainland. Last week the mainland offered to equip...
Well preserved by the alcohol,* Jones's body was autopsied by Paris Pathologist André Victor Cornil, who snipped bits of tissue from the heart, lungs, spleen and kidneys. The lungs showed evidence of pneumonia and possibly TB, from which Jones was known to have suffered. The kidney tissue showed the effects of nephritis, from which the great captain had died. Pathologist Cornil had the kidney slides photographed; the pictures were sent to the U.S. Congress along with Ambassador Porter's report...
Cost of installation: $2,500 per hospital. ¶ In Bordeaux, France, a district court set a legal precedent for all France, ordered the government to pay damages to parents of eight local schoolchildren who developed abscesses in 1949 as a result of compulsory vaccination against TB. ¶ Manhattan Obstetrician Alan F. Guttmacher reported that multiple births (twins or better) occur far more frequently among Negroes than whites, run highest among women 35 to 39 years old. The incidence of quadruplets among whites is once in 570,196 births, among Negroes once in 237,897. For triplets, the current ratio...
