Casualty reports were sketchy The PLO, in a claim that could not be confirmed, said 10,000 people had been killed or wounded in Lebanon, most of them civilians. The Israeli military command reported 91 dead, 664 wounded, 18 missing and one prisoner known taken. Prime Minister Menachem Begin attended the funeral Friday of the highest-rankin- g Israeli officer ever killed in action The number of dead in the five-dainvasion was five times the number who died in Israel's 1978 invasion of southern Lebanon. Eighteen were killed in 91 days, but that fighting was limited to an advance of roughly 15 miles compared to this weeks I push to the outskirts of Beirut Even if he did regain consciousness. Dr. Mark Olsky said at the time, it was likely his brain would be permanently damaged because of loss of oxygen Calcium Blockers Today, one month later, after a new treatment involving a class of drugs known as calcium blockers, Eseh is back at work at his law firm, playing golf and trying to devise ways to convince my doctor to let me start playing handball. His recovery was remarkable to doctors who have seen thousands of such cases in which patients recover physically only to live the rest of their lives hooked to machines or with severe mental impairment Olsky said the brain gets only d of its needed amount of oxygen during cardiopulmonary resuscitation used to revive the heart and other organs.

White of Detroit involves injecting a combination of common magnesium sulphate and the calcium blocker verapamil into the patient to restore the normal flow of blood to the brain, he said Calcium blockers, when used within 20 minutes of physical resuscitation, can counter the spasms which cause the shutdown, bring immediate blood Dow to the cells and prevent the mental impairment that lack of oxygen to bram cells and comas almost always cause, Olsky said. In a few scattered cases, usually young people, you might see a full physical and mental recovery. Benefit the Brain Calcium blockers, recently given federal approval for use in the United States, have been used for several years in Europe to treat angina, a condition believed to result when the heart is deprived of oxygen due to clogged arteries or tightened blood vessels. White has found that the drugs action can also benefit the bram Olsky predicted prompt use of Whites procedure, which was reported May 30 at a Swedish medical convention and has been in experimental use for about two years, could result in full physical and mental recovery for over 90 percent of those treated. Arriving Home, Reagan Calls Mission a Success Continued From Page One nation doesn't resort to force and then simply stop under pressure from an ally, he said Reagan seemed satisfied with the outcome of his journey, which included NATO and economic summit meetings These trips, these meetings have been arduous, they've been long, theyve been tiring to all of us, but theyve been successful, he said. The presidents brief visit to West Berlin, the emotional climax of his y le : U.S. Briefs : Sitter, Four Children Slain in West Bronx 10,689-mil- e tour of four European nations, touched off a pitched n battle between hundreds of demonstrators and thousands of not police elsewhere in the divided city.

On his arrival from Bonn, the president scorned the communist authorities who erected the bamcade of concrete and barbed wire dividing East and West Berlin in 1961. He told 1,000 U.S. troops and their families he might stuff a note with a question in a bottle and throw it over the wall when I go there today I really want to hear their explanation of why that wall is there, why are they so afraid of freedom on this side of the wall, Reagan said. Well, the truth is theyre scared to death of it because they know that freedom is catching, and they dont dare leave their people have a taste of it Then Reagan rode with his wife, Nancy, and West German Chaneeller Helmut Schmidt to the wall, a little more than a mile away.
