Stillborn Calves And Lambs Revived By Machine

A life-creating machine which has revived stillborn calves and lambs is being perfected in France,' by Professor J. Andre Thomas, the leading French biologist, who claims great surgical medical and biological possibilities for the invention. Small and easy to manipulate and regulate, the new machine can produce “survival” for an unlimited time, according to the professor, who is Director of the Laboratory of Experimental Cellular Biology at the Paris Curie Institute. Professor Thomas said it had brought to life extinct foetus of cattle and sheep, and had made virus grow on them. It had also

givgn life to separate organisms of humans and animals. Professor Thomas said that how to make organisms live separately from the body by means of perfusion—artificial circulation —had long been known to physiologists, but “the problem was to discover the exact nature of the survival of organs and organisms in such a way as to permit realisations of the experiments of the general physiologists and cytologists.” t Professor Thomas said: “We had to produce a machine that permitted using blood that . was suitably oxygenised and sterile—a machine which would reproduce all the physiological characteristics of the organ, animal or human, including the rhythm of the heart’s expansion and contraction, maximum and minimum blood pressure and so on. “This machine has to be able to use blood indefinitely without the globules being destroyed. The machine we have made does this by rubber veins. It pumps the blood, thus takes the part of the lungs.” “DAIRYFARMING ANNUAL” The “Dairyfarming Annual,” 1948; published by Massey Agricultural College, is the College’s .first annual publication for dairyfarmers. Its contents include the addresses and discussions at the first post-war three-day gathering of 400 dairyfarmers held at the College—a gathering which requested that the addresses and discussions be assembled in book form for handy reference. The programme for that meeting was apparently very well chosen; for the book covers, with illustrations, a wide field of modern research work with a direct bearing on practical dairyfarming.
