THE GAZETTE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1963 45 Artificial Kidney Proves A Real Lifesaver The Game JLof Kings Science Medicine HERIIRT mxmmijW turn from artery to vein. This is normally protected by a light bandage or covering. The kidney machine, donated to the hospital by the women's auxiliary, has several advantages over older machines designed for similar function. "There is no pump to this machine," Dr. Kaye explained.

"Circulation is provided by the patient's own blood pressure avoiding undue strain on blood vessels. Moreover, unlike its predecessors, this machine does not require blood for priming, eliminating the problem of finding supplies of the right blood type." Dr. Kaye hopes to present results of his studies at a major Canadian medical meeting in the near future. Weekly Date To 'Wash' His Blood Allows Man To Continue Work the treatment is covered by the Quebec Hospital Insurance Service, engaged in work that is not strenuous, and be intelligent and cooperative enough to follow the strict regimen involved. The machine works this way.

In certain selected cases the kidneys fail to eliminate all body wastes. These accumulate in the blood and must be washed out regularly. The patients must be ambulatory and their condition such that weekly or twice weekly washings will keep them under control. The patient must have good blood vessels because the implanted tubes have to be permanently placed in vein and artery by careful surgery. When away from the hospital a U-tube connects both catheters in the arm to provide a shunt for blood ago, the first of its kind in Canada.

For the rest of his life, or possibly until kidney transplantation techniques are perfected, Mr. Cook will pay his weekly visit to the hospital, but in return he has been taken from the ranks of the 200-300 kidney disease victims who die each year in Montreal. Of these, possibly five per cent could be helped by the machine, according to Dr. Kaye. "We could handle more patients here if necessary." the doctor said, "if they were referred to us.

Not everyone can qualify for assistance however. The machine can help in certain types of congenital kidney disease or with nephritis victims. Ideally the patient should be under 40, self-supporting, although BY QUIZ No. 445 Black to play and win. A.

Ladies' and Men's Pairs at 8.15 Sun (13) Open pairs, 1st session 2.15; final session 8.00 p.m. HOWARD SCHENKEN Among the bridge intelligen-cia, Harold Schenken is known as the bridge expert's bridge expert, so his opinion and conclusion should carry a lot of weight. He has just written a new bridge book called "Better Bidding in 15 Minutes Expert Bidding in a Week," in which he expounds a new bidding system, which he feels should replace current bidding systems, especially the one commonly known as Standard American system.

His opening remark in chapter one expresses EVERY Wednesday evening Charles Henry Cook leaves his office and heads for the Montreal General Hospital and an appointment with Between ECHOES OF THE CHAMPIONSHIPS As you remember Italy's Blue Team won the Bermuda Bowl, emblematic of the World Team Championship for the sixth consecutive year, last June, in 1 1 a 1 y. They edged the U.S.A. team by 19 IMP after starting the last 16 boards with a 21 IMP deficit. John Gerber, who was non-playing captain of the U.S. team, has just published his report in the September ACBL Bulletin.

A few remarks contained therein certainly imply some lack of preparation by the chosen American team. Quote "From November to February, Jordan and Robinson had not played together I attended four tournaments in which Jacoby and Nail participated, but never saw them play a hand together From November to March Schenken and Leventritt were not even in the same State Changes in the Neapolitan system and summary of the French Relay system were sent to all the players in April. When they convened in Toronto, May 31st, those changes were not in possession of three of our players and I can only assume that the waste paper basket was the recipient By May 1st I was convinced that our team would have to undergo cram sessions if they were to prevail in world competition "So, I guess Mr. G. did not have too easy a time with his charge.

Mr. Gerber finishes off by writing that "The team and the League are indebted to Mrs. Howard Schenken, the team dietician and Sam Kehel (who had been retained as coach at no salary, but with all expenses paid). I have been honoured to serve as captain for the last two years. I plead a weary heart and frustration as my reasons for being spared a call to future duty." The Wcstmount Y.M.C.A.

There should be no objection to using chocolate if you are not allergic to it. Age is an influence, as it is in arthritis. It is probably good for you to remain active, but within such limits as to avoid undue fatigiSe, since both arthritis and fibromyositis are helped by avoiding the stiffening which occurs with inactivity, and are made worse by fatigue. Weather changes definitely influence the disease. Dear Dr.

Bauer: Is there no thing that can be done for a sinusitis condition when x-rays show that the linings of all the sinuses have become thickened? Can an alergy make this condition worse? Is there a difference between an allergy and an infection? L.P., Missouri. Answer: There is a difference between an allergy and an in fection. An allergy is an unusual sensitivity to substances to which most persons are not sensitive. An infection means an invasion by germs or viruses. An allergy can make an infectious condition worse, and vice versa.

As to what can be done, only the attending physician can answer that question. Surgery is sometimes necessary when other measures fail. In many instances the patient must re concile himself to repeated medical treatments as the condition fluctuates in severity. Dr. Bauer welcomes health questions from readers and will answer them whenever possible.

Due to the tremendous volume of mail received, many questions will be incorporated in the column. No questions can be answered if they require a personal knowledge of the inquirer's condition. Letters should be addressed to Dr. W.W. Bauer, The Gazette.

Answer: Spartase is a name for potassium and magnesium aspartates. The American Medical Association Council on Drugs has the following comment on this preparation: "A preparation containing potassium and magnesium aspartates is claimed to be useful in the treatment of the fatigue syndrome. However, since there is no precise experimental model analogous to fatigue in man, laboratory evidence of its actions cannot be directly transposed to human situation. The clinical trials to date do not convincingly demonstrate efficacy." The Council reports further that nausea, abdominal discomfort and diarrhea have been noted occasionally. Dear Dr.

Bauer: What is fi-bromyositis? I have had it in my back and neck and hips. My hands and feet swell. It's as changeable as the weather and sometimes I wonder if the weather has something to do with it. What causes it? What can I do about it? What about diet? Is chocolate harmful? What about age I am 55, and able to do everything I have always done, but this constant aching tires me. C.W.G., New York.

Answer: Fibromyositis is related to arthritis, and like arthritis its basic cause is not known. Once established, there is little likelihood that the condition will disappear, but the aching should be subject to relief by medical treatment. Diet should be about the same as for a normal person, since there is no indication that any specific fixid will influence the pain or the tissue changes which cause KM Pass 3 Spades Pass Pass What do you bid now?
