From the Marrow. For at least two years, Mrs. Roosevelt had been anemic. Doctors established that her bone marrow was not producing enough blood cells, but why this was they had no idea. Each time her hemoglobin and hematocrit (red-cell concentration) readings fell alarmingly low, a blood transfusion lifted them above the danger level. Early this year, she was put on a regular dosage of cortisone-type hormones. This treatment carried the risk of reducing her resistance to infections. Not surprisingly, Mrs. Roosevelt began to run a fever. Nobody knew what was causing it. The common everyday infections, from...
...specimen of Mrs. Roosevelt's bone marrow-the body's main factory for various elements in the blood-was taken by puncturing a hipbone with a big hypodermic needle. The hematologists who examined the marrow smears under the micro scope could not agree. Though there were enough cells present to rule out aplastic anemia, one of the deadliest forms of the disease, some of the experts thought that the abnormal cell forms suggested an obscure type of leukemia. Others said...
...Uzman showed that analysis of fat-like lipid, kerasin, as performed over the previous 40 years, was not enough to explain the peculiar Gaucher cells, sign of the disease. It is also necessary to analyse the deranged metabolism of cell proteins, believed to have an abormal affinity for kerasin. Kerasin is stored in the spleen and causes its enlargement, as well as enlargement of lymph nodes...
...institute's ultramodern equipment, Director John R. Green is proudest of the massive electron microscope. Magnifying 200,000 times, it can photograph bits of matter as small as a brain cell. "We can study changes in single cells in tumors and changes due to aging," says Dr. Green. "We see this machine as ten tons of hope...
...knew of the raids, and did nothing to stop them, their imperious execution was strictly the work of Prosecutor Wesgram. At week's end, Augstein was still behind bars, where he can legally be held without bail until his trial, which may be months away. But from his cell, Augstein blithely sent out orders to boost Der Spiegel's press run from the usual 500,000 to 850,000. The magazine also filed a complaint in Federal Constitutional Court against the government's highhandedness. In Bonn, Defense Minister Strauss kept mute...
