Show of U Offers New Service U DONA For Respiratory Patients researchers are now of- (UBTL), and fering a new service for patients from the intermountain region are suffering from respiratory failure. The latest advances in care and treatment are available at who the regional Respiratory Intensive Care Unit at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City. The facility is one of a small number of centers in the nation where critically ill patients may be considered for treatment with an experimental support tech- nique involving prolonged use of a heart lung machine. Transportation to the facility by specially equipped van or $ 1 airplane is available throughout the intermountain region, and the medical team travels to the patient to handle care during transport. Dr. C. DuWayne Schmidt, medical director of Respiratory Care at LDS Hospital and clinical professor of medicines at the U of U College of Medicine, says the regional center is the only Respiratory Intensive Care Unit between Denver and the Pacific Coast. The experimental project involving the use of heart lung machines to support patients with acute respiratory insuf- d TM If you lie or tape a stick paintbrush before setting it in paint remover, the bristles wont become bent while sitting. to a component of the University of Utah Research Institute. The UBTL team is experienced in the use and of membrane oxygenators, the new component of the heart lung machines being used in the study. Dr. Alan H. Morris, principal investigator for the project and assistant professor of medicine at the U of U College of Medicine, says the candidates for membrane support should be patients between the ages of 12 and 65 who have acute respiratory insufficiency and are deteriorating despite vigorous support with conventional therapy. The cause of the respiratory failure should be potentially reversible, including such conditions as pneumonia, smoke inhalation, drug overdoses, drowning or various types of trauma. The basic idea of the experimental support is to divert a portion of the blood through an artificial lung for addition of oxygen and removal of carbon diovid" over a period of days or eths. The heart-lun- g devil t , used is a membrane oxygenator, iri which gas exchange takes place as the blood is pumped through an artifical membrane system. Such a procedure is being used regularly at a few medical centers across the nation, but the research being supported by NHLI at Utah and eight other centers will be the first controlled studies of the value of the new treatment. Utah is the only center between the Fast and W est Coasts. Patients in the regional Respiratory Intensive Care Unit not receiving the heart lung bypass will still receive the most expert care available in the region. Physicians trained in pulmonary care are on duty clock. Besides the Schmidt and Morris, a U of U pulmonary fellow supervises the resident staff in the unit. The specially trained staff also includes respiratory intensive care nurses, physical therapists, inhalation therapists, and pulmonary laboratory and computer technicians. The computerized patient monitoring system utilizes the facilities of the Universitys Department of Biophysics and the largest hospital-based computer facility in i ficiency is being funded by a three-yea- r, $900,000 contract from the National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI). The center is one of nine in the nation involved in a collaborative study to determine the clinical usefulness of such treatment. The project is being carried out using the facilities, resources and equipment of the University, LDS Hospital and a If you have a problem with a chair-lejoint coming out and its too loose for glue to hold well, do this: Hammer a small wedge into the dowel.

Tap it lightly (but hard enough to do something) at the center. This should loosen it andor crack oil enough of it to give you working space. Use a chisel to dig out the rest. Physicians from throughout the region may telephone the unit at any time of the day or night to consult with the pulmonary care team about a patient who might benefit from the special facility. The costs for treatment in the Respiratory Intensive Care Unit are high, but all health insurance carriers in the Intermountain area, including Medicare, have approved its use for persons they insure. The extra costs associated with the heart lung machine support research funds from NHLI. Dr. Schmidt says the need for respiratory intensive care units is becoming well established, just as coronary intensive care units are now considered a vital part of the modern general hospital. He notes that a University of Pennsylvania Hospital study showed that deaths among ventilator patients there dropped from 63 percent to 18 percent after a respiratory intensive care unit was established.

Reacting to such signs, however, is at best a chaneey way of protecting your childs vision. The best defense against the development of serious vision problems and even unnecessary loss of sight, according to the Utah Society for the Prevention of Blindness, is to have a childs eyes examined shortly after birth, and again by the age of four. Ard since a childs eyes grow and change, yearly eye examinations are recommended thereafter to make sure that both eyes are maintaining good vision. Eye problems affect one in every 20 children between ages three and five and one in every four among the school-ag- e population. Such statistics reinforce the need for parents to play a more active role in protecting their childs sight. Eye disorders, if they remain undiscovered, can harmfully affect a childs personality, his learning ability, and his entire adjustment in school. Awareness of some of the common causes of eye disorders will not only help a parent to guard against them, but will underline the need for early attention to prevent possible permanent visual damage. Amblyopia, or lazy eye, is the condition that eye authorities are most concerned about because if it is not discovered and treated before the age of six or seven, it usually leads to permanent reduction of vision in the affected eye. It is often caused when one eye turns in or out while the other sees straight, so that a double image Last Saturday Ken and Helene Larsen made a trip to Duchesne County (Myton) to visit with friends and relatives and to check on other matters.

A 1974 Ford pickup belonging to Robert L. Patterson, Midvale, was stolen from the parking lot of Granite Furni- ture in Sugarhouse recently. He drove the truck to work as usual at 4:00 a.m. Saturday morning. Upon the arrival of a salesman he was told the pickup was gone from its parking space. The police were notified, but at the time of this writing it has not been located. Robert is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lucien Peterson and is a senior employee of Granite Furniture Company. It is always a most enjoyable occasion to go home. That is what the family of Hillard and Almcda Funk did last Saturday and Sunday. All their and children, tneir grandchildren came home to celebrate their mothers birthday. Almedas birthday is Jan. 22. Their children are Merlene, Jay, Odell, Mae and EvLynn.

The child solves this confusion by ignoring the message from one eye, thus gradually weakening it through disuse. The usual treatment is patching the good eye in order to force the use of the weaker one. Sometimes this is combined with glasses, surgery or eye exercises. A related eye problem is strabismus or squint, when the eyes are not straight or properly aligned, but turn in (crossed eyes) or out (wall eyes) up or down. Strabismus may be due to birth injuries, heredity, faulty muscle attachments, excessive farsightedness, or certain illnesses. It cannot be outgrown, nor will it improve by itself. directed toward Treatment, straightening the eyes, can involve glasses, patching, eye drops, surgery and eye exercises, singly or in combination. Parents should be aware, too, that conditions such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia, (farsightedness), and astigmatism can also cause psycolog-ica- l and physical damage if not detected and treated at an early age. To encourage early attention to the eyes, a Home Eye Test for Preschoolers is offered free by the Utah Society so that parents can test their children at home. Available in English or Spanish, it consists of an eye chart, instructions on performing the test and judging results, and a report form which the Society uses for follow-u- p and evaluation studies. Another valuable aid for parents are the vision screening programs which help to identify some of the children in need of eye care. These are not equivalent to an eye examination, but they do test visual acuity, or the clearness with which one sees at a distance. Such programs are conducted throughout the year by Society-traine- d interested volunteers. Any group can arrange such a screening by contacting the Society for training or informa- tion. The Society also offers, free of charge, several informative publications on childrens eye care: Home Eye Test for PreSigns of Eye schoolers, Make Trouble in Children, Sure Your Child Has Two Good Eyes, and Crossed Eyes: A a cataNeedless Handicap; logue listing publications and films on all aspects of eye health and safety is also available.

Help win the race Almost everyone is walking around with at least one, often more, unfounded fears tucked into their psyches. Many people readily admit their fears are irrational, yet they continue to go through life confrontation avoiding with them. Psychiatrists have a name for such obsessive, illogical or It's fears. unreasoning phobias.

The theory ignores the actual operation ot the lank. When the toilet is flushed, the tank ball or stopper reseats and stops the flushing action with two or three inches of water remaining.

Because, there is a possibility that his vision isnt as good as you may think it is. Yet, quite likely your child will never say anything. Since he may well have been seeing the same way all his life, even if its blurred, double, or through only one eye, without any point of comparison, he has no way of knowing it could be any different. He may be giving you some pointed clues, however, to the fact that his vision is abnormal.
