...before his car on the road. "I hit one and turned over," recalled Talmadge. "It killed the mule. I'm just a little bruised." His car was a total wreck. Though his victim was out of the harness for good, Talmadge was soon fitted for one by doctors: X-ray photos showed that he had a cracked...
...promising new method uses an "electronic screen intensifier" developed at Johns Hopkins by Dr. Russell H. Morgan and Ralph Sturm. Primarily intended for brightening the faint images on X-ray fluoroscope screens, it is based on the image-orthicon tube used in television cameras. The tube scans (in 1,029 "lines" instead of the standard 525) the image and turns it into fluctuations of an electric signal...
...fluoroscopic method of diagnos ing uterine tumors has been developed by Gynecologist Ralph R. Stevenson of Washington, D.C. First, he injects a harmless dye into the patient's uterus. As he manipulates the uterus, a "watching" X-ray tube projects a picture of the organ onto a fluoroscope screen, and tumors show up as shadows.

Stimulants and artificial respiration failed: his heart had stopped. A passing surgeon whipped out a pocket knife, sliced open Wisniewski's chest (while he still lay on the floor) and massaged the heart with his bare hand. After 2¼ hours, and more conventional treatment as equipment was rounded up, Wisniewski's heart resumed its beat. This week he was doing well...
