...Center will bring together a large infirmary, dental and surgical services, emergency and X-ray facilities, research and clinical labs, libraries, conference rooms, and business and doctors' offices...
...linked and twisted in a special way, the difficulties stagger imagination. So the attack on the molecules of life is mounted in other, more indirect ways. One approach is through genetics: learning about the chemistry of reproduction of small and comparatively simple organisms like molds. Another approach is through X-ray studies of proteins, with the X rays scattering in patterns and giving clues about protein structure. Using this technique, Cambridge's Dr. John Kendrew recently located a large part of the 2,500 coiled-up atoms in myoglobin, a rather simple protein. The size of the entire problem...
...broken by automatic telescopes carried by satellites far above all trace of air. Even if rather small, the telescopes will see much more clearly than the 200-incher. Perhaps they will settle the question of the "canals" on Mars. They will certainly observe in the heavens kinds of radiation (X-ray and ultraviolet) that cannot penetrate the atmosphere. This type of observation is important because many stars are known to radiate chiefly in these unobservable rays...
...these tools, the U.S. Army Medical Service added an important contribution. The Pentagon this week announced development of a suitcase-sized, portable X-ray unit that weighs only 85 Ibs. (v. ordinary half-ton hospital X-ray machines) and operates at such high speed that it will not blur film during chest X rays even if the patient is breathing normally...
...patients, or for invasion of privacy-like a Michigan physician who invited a friend to watch a delivery. He may even be accused of contributing to his patients' neuroses. A classic case: a New York woman, suffering from bursitis in her shoulder, received a radiation burn from excessive X-ray treatment, was later warned by a skin specialist that cancer might develop. She sued, and an appeals court in 1958 awarded her $15,000 for "cancerophobia" induced by the dermatologist's warning...
