Page TV-4 Saturday, September 7, 1985 The Hanford Sentinel BS Medical strides traced Is it possible to completely conquer disease, wiping it forever from the face of the earth? The new five-part "Quest for the Killers" travels from the remote corners of Papua, New Guinea, to the city streets of New York to chronicle the sequence of steps medical scientists take in their fight to control diseases that once claimed the lives of millions of people. The series airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on channel 18 beginning Sept. 9. It will repeat at 11 p.m.

the following day. An international medical detective story opens the series on "The Kuru Mystery." In the remote Eastern Highlands of Papua, New Guinea, a mysterious plague of epidemic proportions was decimating a tribe of Stone Age people. The program recounts an American pediatrician's 25-year search for the cause of these inexplicable deaths, and the startling conclusions about rheumatism, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and Alzheimer's that resulted from his work. on Trial," the second episode, recreates a classic experimental drug trial. In New York's homosexual community around Greenwich Village, where hepatitis had infected three out of four residents, scientists developed a vaccine that was theoretically safe, but still required proper testing.

When the experiment was finally completed, the compiled statistics proved the efficacy of the world's first vaccine against hepatitis B. "The Three Valleys of St. Lucia" documents the efforts of doctors on the island of St. Lucia, in the Caribbean, to develop the most effective cure for the parasitic disease schistosomiasis. An international team of doctors and scientists descended on the island and stayed for 16 years before succeeding.

Blind ignorance and prejudice are often the greatest enemies doctors face, as shown in "'The Last Outcasts," a profile of a husband-and-wife medical team committed to the treatment and cure of leprosy in Nepal. "'The Last Outcasts" shows how public education and social change are often as significant in the cure of a disease as a dramatic medical breakthrough. The final episode, "'The Last Wild Virus," examines a unique event in medical and human history: the eradication of a disease. The program follows the campaign to eliminate smallpox in Bangladesh, where a particularly vicious strain erupted following that country's civil war.
