Ever surgery

Did you ever notice that the building or area in the plant called the maintenance shop , is actually the Pump Hospital The shop may have twelve workbenches, but ten benches have a pump in some stage of surgery. You go into the shop and ask someone Why is this pump in... [Pg.228]

Perhaps you have heard of BZ, for example, and believe it was a secret concoction, far stronger than LSD, and able to drive people mad. You may not realize that if you ever had major surgery, you probably received a drug just like BZ before receiving anesthesia, to reduce unwanted secretions into your lungs. You probably don t know that more than a dozen similar drugs, all related to BZ, were part of our experimental agenda. [Pg.1]

I call such four-dimensional beings Gods. If we ever encounter beings that can move in a fourth spatial dimension, we would find that they can perform levitation, bloodless surgery, disappear in front of our eyes, walk through walls.. .. It would be very difficult to hide from them no matter where we went. Objects locked in safes would be easy for them to retrieve. If such a being were observed in biblical times, it would be considered a God with many characteristics of omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence. [Pg.257]

Inquire as to whether a patient is using or has ever used tamsulosin prior to referral for ocular surgery. Advise surgeon. [Pg.749]

In a prospective study in patients evaluated for epilepsy surgery, absolute concentric contraction of the visual field of 10-30 degrees was found in 20 (17%) of 118 patients who had ever taken vigabatrin, compared with none of 39 patients who had never taken vigabatrin (27). Men were more frequently affected than women (21 versus 6%), and the degree of visual field loss was more severe in patients who had taken vigabatrin for more than 2 years. None of the affected patients complained spontaneously of visual field loss. [Pg.3625]

The irony is that you can get better results without surgery," Cummings said. "I ve been using the nonsurgi-cal technique for five years and the results are 300 percent better than I ever got with surgery."... [Pg.60]

Cummings points out that not one clinical study has ever shown periodontal surgery to be necessary. [Pg.60]

Peroxide may be the greatest breakthrough we ve ever had for brain tumors. Surgery destroys brain tissue, and chemotherapy for brain neoplasms is just plain quackery. Neuroblastoma cells, a virulent brain cancer, were inhibited by H202 in lab experiments.3... [Pg.63]

In 1870, Lister moved on to the Chair of Clinical Surgery at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, and it was there that the carbolic acid spray was invented. This contained a mixture of one part of carbolic acid and 100 parts of water, and this mixture was sprayed all around the patient and the surgical staff during the operation. Not surprisingly, the surgical staff suffered from what was termed carbolic hands , which involved sores and blisters but Lister s methods became ever more popular, especially in Europe and the USA. In 1877,... [Pg.24]

Copper deficiency is extremely rare, and there is no evidence that copper ever need be added to a normal diet. Even in chnical states associated with hypocupremia (sprue, celiac disease, and nephrotic syndrome), effects of copper deficiency usually are not demonstrable. Anemia due to copper deficiency has been described in individuals who have undergone intestinal bypass surgery, in those who are receiving parenteral nutrition, in malnourished infants, and in patients ingesting excessive amounts of zinc. While an inherited disorder affecting copper transport (Menkes disease) is associated with reduced activity of several copper-dependent enzymes, this disease is not associated with hematological abnormalities. [Pg.940]

The principle is fairly plain, even an old one. In 1939, the active ingredient of curare—an ancient plant toxin weapon still in use by Indians—was isolated for the first time. In 1943, it was introduced successfully into anesthesiology. Curare provided adequate muscle relaxation without the depressant effect of deep anesthesia induced by ether or chloroform. Over the last 20 years, physicians have used curare to ease the stiffened muscles caused by polio and to treat such diverse conditions as lockjaw, epilepsy, and cholea (a nervous disorder characterized by uncontrollable muscle movements). Eventually, more effective treatments were found for these illnesses, but the active ingredient of curare, d-tubocurarine, led to the skeletal muscle relaxant Intocostrin, which has been used in surgery ever since. Synthetic analogs of d-tubocurarine are used tens of thousands of times per day in the operating room [309]. [Pg.1618]

He, like Meyers, believes that mood and emotion can affect cognitive functioning. I very much agree that there is a subset of individuals that don t ever return to exactly how they were, says Castellon. Perhaps it was the chemotherapy. Many of the breast cancer patients I work with have also received endocrine therapy. Or perhaps it vras the primary treatment of the cancer itself—the surgery... [Pg.63]

Surgery and pharmacy have become almost new arts ever since anatomy and chemistry offered them their enlightened and certain guidance. [Pg.162]
