...stitches are removed with almost no scarring. In 15 years, Barraquer has done about 4,000 operations with apparently good results. Most people see without glasses almost as well as they did previously with glasses. But the operations are not for everyone. Dr. Casimir Swinger of Manhattan's Beth Israel Medical Center, one of those who has recently brought the procedures to the U.S., says that they should be used mainly for patients with severe refractive errors who cannot tolerate contact lenses. That group includes many who have had cataracts removed...
...players, freshmen Betsy Torg and Beth Mullen, made their varsity debuts for the Crimson, and one, Maureen Finn, had a debut of sorts, playing forward for the first time in an effort to shore up the attack...
...Beth Heiden's skates may be bronze, but her ten-speed is golden. At least that is the way it looked after the 20-year-old blade and bike speedster finished first in the women's world cycling championships in Sallanches, France. Beth, who placed third in the women's 3,000-meter speed-skating competition at the Lake Placid Winter Olympics, began bicycle racing only three summers ago, along with her quintuple-gold-medalist brother Eric, 22, as a way of keeping in condition for skating. Now she enjoys the sport as an end in itself...
...million women took the synthetic hormone DES (diethylstilbestrol) to prevent miscarriages. But by 1971 doctors had unequivocal evidence that the drug produced worrisome cervical abnormalities in the women's female children. Now, after a five-year study of DES daughters, a team at Boston's Beth Israel Hospital has encouraging news: two types of DES-linked cervical lesions in these offspring apparently disappear in time and do not seem to be precancerous...
...Beth Israel researchers observed 178 DES daughters, some of them from puberty. Initially, 121 had cervical ectopy, a condition in which misplaced glandular tissue grows on the cervix. But subsequent examinations revealed that this tissue was being replaced gradually; in many of the young women the ectopy disappeared. At the start of the study, 123 women had fibrous ridges growing around their cervical walls; this "hood" later receded in 52% and vanished in 28%. But the good news has a bad side. If DES daughters lose their abnormal cervical "markers" and neglect checkups, doctors may not monitor them for another...
