Death by Drowning. When the pathologist arrived he found a little water still standing in the crook of the dead woman's arm. That hardly tallied with the story of vigorous efforts to restore respiration. And there was no sign that Elizabeth Barlow had splashed or struggled. Death was due to drowning, but she had let herself drown in a relaxed, apathetic if not comatose state...
...took a whole crew of doctors, pharmacists and experts from the Home Office Forensic Science Laboratory, using 1,220 mice, 150 rats and 24 guinea pigs, to find out. After four puzzling days, a sharp-eyed pathologist found four injection marks in Mrs. Barlow's buttocks, two on each side. From each site he removed part of the underlying tissue for analysis, suspecting insulin. Barlow's boast had been half right: insulin is almost impossible to detect. But by extraordinarily ingenious methods described in the British Medical Journal, the drug sleuths found a way to prove that there...
Writers of doctoral dissertations ransack mightily obscure quarries for old stones to be turned. New-fledged Paris Pathologist Tony-Michel Torrilhon, who did his stone-turning in Europe's art libraries, last week turned in a thesis on the maimed, ailing creatures of the great, earthy 16th century painter, Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Torrilhon's hypothesis: in painting after painting, Bruegel reproduced the maladies of his Low Country peasants with a diagnostician's keen...
Seurat's paintings [Jan. 20] reminded me of a famed pathologist at the University of Michigan who occasionally gave lectures on "pathology in art," whimsically pointing out the "acres and acres of adipose tissue" painted by the Flemish artists. With this in mind, Seurat's immaculate technique, when applied to the representation of nudes, is suggestive of the measles, or worse, smallpox, or even the French pox derived from the older days of the bordellos of the Left Bank. These features of speculative pathology are, of course, lost in the Seurat landscapes...
...learn additional details about the grim affliction which is not directly fatal but is severely handicapping, sometimes shortens life by lowering resistance. The specimen was listed in the brain registry of the American Academy of Cerebral Palsy (which Dr. Perlstein helped to found in 1949) and sent on to Pathologist Herman Josephy at Chicago State Hospital. Dr. Josephy may take as long as three months, slicing up to 200 paper-thin sections from the brain, mounting and photographing them, before reporting back to Perlstein on where and how the brain was damaged...
