Heart Condition
Duplicated to
Relieve Pain
Philadelphia -(Science Ser
vice) - The heart condition
that causes "blue babies" is
being duplicated in adults to
relieve heart pain, a Minnea
polis surgeon said here to
day. ,
The new operation is based
on the observation that "blue
babies" have a very rich cor
onary blood supply, Dr. Sta-
cey B. Day, University of
Minnesota, explained at the
meeting of the American
Heart association here. Now,
Dr. Day and his co-workers
have attempted to duplicate
this condition in adult hearts,
although not to . the extent
that the patient will be harm
ed or turn bluish.
. Blue babies are born with a
combination of heart and cir
culatory defects that prevents
their blood from receiving
enough oxygen. Such blood
tends to be bluish and gives a
blue cast to the skin. Appar
ently the highly developed
coronary blood supply seen in
these children is utilized by
the body to keep the heart
working efficiently despite its
inborn defects.
The severe pain that oc
curs in coronary artery disease
however, does not mean that
the blood lacks oxygen as
such, but rather, that not en
ough oxygen-carrying blood
reaches the heart muscle be
cause of a narrowing or shut
down of part of its blood ves
sel system. Dr. Day and his
associates decided to try to
exploit the body's compensa
tory mechanisms, as reflected
in the blue babies' hearts, by
bringing some "blue," venous,
blood almost directly into the
heart muscle.
They tapped the pulmonary
artery, through which de-
oxygenated or venous blood
returns from the right side of
the heart to the " lungs for
fresh oxygen. Openings in
this artery and in the left side
of the heart wera- joined to
provide a route for a small
amount of venous blood.
The researchers believe this
oxygen-poor blood, by raising
the carbon dioxide content of
the blood in the coronary ar
teries, should stimulate the
non-diseased branches of the
coronary network to enlarge.
I It should also spur the growth
' of new "collateral" blood ves
; sels within the heart. - The re
; suit, they hope, will be that
1 both toe amount and distribu-
- tion of the total blood flow
; through the - ailing muscle
; will improve.
The operation has been per-
formed on three adults so far.
J Each patient had suffered se-
2 vere heart pain. In each case,
- there was a dramatic and sua
tained pain relief, improve
ment in health, and early re-
turn to gainful employment
s after the operation, the sur
i geon reported. Dr. Day stress
i ed that only patients whose
; heart pain is due to narrowed
coronary arteries, as estab
? lished by careful examination
and x-ray" studies, were can-
- didates for operation.
Salad Oil Said
Good for Babies
Kansas City, Mo. -(Science
Service) -Mothers might do
better bathing their babies
with salad oil or shortening
than with certain . baby lo
tions. , ,
Many lotions contain 95
per cent water, resulting in
quick drying and little benefit
to the skin, a dermatologist
: has reported in the October
issue of GP . magazine, pub
lished here by the American
Academy of General practice.
Dr. Seymour L. Hanfling of
East Orange, N. J., also at
tempted to clear up some
skin-care fallacies. Detergents,
he said, are not more irritat
ing than soaps. It is just that
women forget that they are
more effective and hence use
too much.
Machine-laundered diapers
can be just as safe for the
baby as those that are hand
washed, he said. Also, babies
do not need daily baths," be
cause they have little -oil se
cretion and never develop
body odor. Except during hot
weather, two baths a week
are adequate, he said.
Petroleum- preparations,
such as -mineral oils, can
not possibly nourish the
skin.". Instead,' be said, these
preparations have a protective
function similar to that of
protective creams. "T" J
Few high - water lotions
have animal of vegetable oils
that can be absorbed through
the skin. The use of "any edi
ble fat on the skin results in
some useful replenishment of
the skin, oils,'-. Some of the
best, Dr. Hanfling said, are
hydrous' lanolin" fee various
salad oils,, and the hydrogen
ated shortenings.
