Broadening the Benefits. Refined and streamlined, Heyns's decompression unit now consists of a tent or bag of plastic supported by a barrel-shaped glass-fiber frame. The zippered bag encases the woman from the armpits down. As the pregnant mother relaxes in a chair, a hose attached to the frame draws air out of the enclosure, reducing air pressure on the abdomen by as much as 3 Ibs. per square inch. Normal pressure within the abdomen remains constant, pushing out the abdominal muscle as decompression outside increases...
...first, Heyns's decompression unit was only used during labor. But evidence of more widespread benefits to mother and child have led to sequential applications of the device from about the 18th week of pregnancy onward. For the mother, says Heyns, decompression sessions encourage painless uterine contractions that may enhance pre-and postnatal development in the child. Evidence also indicates that the technique lowers the incidence of toxemia-a largely unexplained complication of pregnancy, which can be serious...
...fourth game in a row, no player on the balanced Harvard unit scored more than one goal. Each line tallied once in the first period to build a comfortable early lead. Brown got its first goal in the second period, then Harvard's lines put in a third-period counter, with a shot by defenseman Bob Carr bringing the total to seven...
Among the several courses open to them to try to blunt the rejection mechanism, Washkansky's doctors chose to use two drugs, azathioprine (Imuran) and cortisone, plus radiation. At first, to avoid moving their patient, they administered gamma rays with an emergency cobalt-60 unit, somewhat resembling a dentist's X-ray machine, rigged up in his room. After four days, when Washy was waving at photographers and joshing with doctors and nurses, he was considered strong enough to stand a quarter-mile trundle to the regular radiation treatment center. At week's end, when his white...
...already trimmed down offices around the world, from Hong Kong to the Geneva headquarters of Interpublic's international operations. Gone are such nonadvertising units as a publisher of business books and a company set up to develop new business for Interpublic. Fashion International, a design-consultant subsidiary with offices in Paris and New York, as well as McDonald Research Ltd. of Canada, went under. Chicago Group Inc., a special-projects unit, was absorbed by Mc-Cann-Erickson's Chicago office, while one of Interpublic's nine advertising agencies, Fletcher Richards, was merged with Marschalk & Co. Ancillary units...
