...Warbaby Review, as it presents itself in its preview edition, is, in short, an honest, struggling, and not unexciting little magazine--and certainly one that is worth looking at. The editors of WR hope to be publishing in the future on a quarterly basis. The first full-fledged copies of the first issue should find their way to Harvard Square newsstands by about the tenth of November. The per issue price is estimated at 35 cents...
...weeks ago in these columns, the BOOKSHELF recorded the existence of New University Thought, a Chicago-based quarterly devoted to student political opinion; it must now note the emergence of another promising and even younger student magazine, the Warbaby Review. Unlike their predecessors, the editors of WR have not issued a detailed syllabus or manifesto of their intentions: their handiwork, it seems, is to speak for itself...
What it has to say, it must be noted, is not entirely reassuring. New magazines, and especially new student magazines, are notoriously difficult to establish-material is scarce and money is scarcer; and yet all too many of the pieces in the first issue of WR should have been rigidly rejected, even by the most desperate of aspiring editors...
Dozens of chemically complex enzymes serve the body as catalysts, usually in minute quantities. In disease, the relative concentration of some enzymes increases. After a heart attack, Dr. Wróblewski points out, there is a rise in several enzymes, including serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGO-T) and lactic dehydrogenase (SLD). Liver diseases cause release into the blood of SGO-T and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGP-T). Careful and repeated measuring of several enzymes can pinpoint disease in a particular organ. Examples: a high level of SGO-T, without elevation in SGP-T, gave an index of President Eisenhower...
Some diseases. Dr. Wróblewski believes, may signal their onset by changes in the enzyme system before any other symptoms appear. This has already proved valuable in early detection of hepatitis, and Dr. Wróblewski has evidence of it in mouse leukemia. If the phenomenon is confirmed in human leukemia, it would mean that more effective treatment of this and perhaps other malignant diseases could begin sooner...
