THRUST out into the world before they are ready, premature babies must be kept warmer than full-term infants if they are to survive. Thus, hospitals have long placed preemies in temperature-controlled incubators, where some cooling occurs each time the baby is fed or treated. Now there is another way. After experiments with hooded bags of the bubbled, air-pocketed polyethylene material used to package glassware, a team of researchers at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center has found that the stuff can prevent damage to kids as well as to merchandise. In a test involving 85 newborn babies...
...streets, drug use has apparently not declined during the winter. Street people seem to be using mostly "downs" (depressants) instead of acid and mescaline, which are more popular in warmer weather...
...Friday and Saturday the temperatures were in the thirties, and snow was forecasted. On Sunday the weather was warmer, but the steady wind was extremely variable and presented difficult situations...
...Treatment. "In the U.S.," says Soviet Health Minister Boris Petrovsky, "a patient usually goes to see his doctor only in case of great need. In the Soviet Union, we welcome a patient when he comes to his polyclinic with the earliest possible signs of illness." The welcome can be warmer than the treatment. Patients complain that polyclinic doctors are too rushed to spend enough time with them. Doctors complain about the volumes of paperwork required by the state. But both agree that the service is as personal as volume permits...
...multitude of tiny flat crystals suspended in the liquid reflect light. Thus when the Kalliroscope is held in the palm of a hand, or under a bulb, or near any source of heat or cold, it produces a demonstration of convection currents appropriate for a Physics I classroom: warmer liquid rises while cooler liquid descends, forming currents that rearrange the light-reflecting crystals into ever-moving patterns. A mere change in position sets a small Kalliroscope (3 in. by 5 in., $15) in motion; larger models (5 in. by 7 in., $50) are electrically heated and kept in constant agitation...
