Withdrawal of
Antibiotics ,
Cures Disease
Atlantic City, NJ. (Science
Service)-The use of antibi
otics appears to be the cause
of numerous cases of a fatal
disease usually considered to
be a rarity, a Cleveland sur
geon reported here.
The disease is staphylococ
cic enterocolitis. Symptoms of
the disease include vomiting,
adbominal pain and severe
diarrhea. It is caused by a
specific organism which nor
mal microorganisms, or flora
in the intestines can usually
overcome. The Huron Road
Hospital of Cleveland, Ohio,
seldom has more than three
cases in five years, Dr. Rob
ert T. Murphy explained to
colleagues attending the meet
ing of the American College
of Surgeons here.
Patients Have Diarrhea
Since October, 1958,
through July, 1959, however,
431 patients exhibited diar
rhea. The majority of these
acquired the diarrhea after
entering the hospital, Dr.
Murphy pointed out.
The staphylococcus was
identified in 61 cases. Most
of these patients had been
receiving antibiotics at the
time they entered the enter
ed the hospital. The most
frequently used were penicil
lin and treptomycin. ,
The mortality rate among
these patients was 33 per cent,
with 20 deaths in 61 cases.
Both Dr. Murphy and his co
partner Dr. David Samon
agreed that at least 15 of
these were due to enterecoli-
tis. Death is caused b& dehy
dration, trmendous losses of
salt and water, similar to the
losses from cholera.
Taken off Antibiotics
Now any patient suspected
of harboring the fatal organ
ism is immediately taken off
antibiotics, which destroy the
normal bacteria needed in the
intestine. The natural u en
vironment of the intestine is
restored by administering
fluids that contain these bac
teria. Those patients who
must be kept on antibiotics
due to their original disease
are given acidophilous milk.
This treament has reduced
the number of cases to ?ero,
Dr. Murphy said. He also, ad
ded that this disease is prob
ably a problem in all hospitals
at this time. ... - ..... e
Radio 'Ear' To
Hear Sun's Voice
Ann Arbor, Mich. (Science
Service)-An 85-foot, steerable
electronic "ear" is now ready
to eavesdrop on the radio
voice of the sun.
The University of Michigan
dedicated the keenly sensitive
radio telescope, built with
support of the Office of Naval
Research, at is Peach Moun
tain radio astronomy facility
northwest of here.
The largest such telescope
in the world designed for so
lar research, it will permit
the first comprehensive study
of radio emissions from the
sun, particularly weak bursts
of radio frequency noise that
ofte- accompany solar flares,
Radio observations will be
tied in with optical observa
tions made at the University's
McMath-Hulbert Observatory.
; The parabolic antenna,
weighing 155 tons, can track
the sun from sunrise to sun
set. It also can listen to radio
noise coming from galaxies
millions of miles away, and
tune in radio frequencies of
21- and three-c entimeter
wavelengths.
The secret of this new in
strument is its newly devel
oped broad-band traveling-
wave tube radiometer that is
said to deliver ten times bet
ter performance than other
similar receivers. '
Birthdays Shared
With Children
Buffalo, N. Y. -UPD- Jacob
A. Smith, owner of a furni
ture store, likes to share his
birthdays with children . ,
lots of them.
". On his 57th birthday, he
hpld his fourth annual birth
day party in front of the
store for nearly 300 cnuaren
who nlaved with balloons,
rode merry-go-rounds and de
voured ice cream, lollipops
and soft drinks dispensed by
their host.
Smiling happily as he talk
ed about the affair, Smith
said the party keeps the
youngsters off the street and
gives them a chance to "raise
the dickens" under super
vision. .
"I give them a little talk on
how important it is to be
have themselves, too,' he
sa'd. "Harsh words to the kids
yeprs ago didn't help much.
I've found this is better."
