NEW TECHNIQUE

NERVE SECTIONS FROM DEAD BODIES. GRAFTED TO LIVING PEOPLE. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.10 a.m.) CHICAGO, October 14. The American Medical Association discloses that for the first time in medical history, nerve sections from dead bodies have been grafted to the severed nerves of living people. The new technique uses a special vitamin, fortified with glue, and makes possible the restoration of the functions of the peripheral nerves, which, when undamaged, supply motion and sensation to limbs. The journal says the new technique will be particularly useful in treating war injuries. Statistics from the battlefronts show that 1 to 3 per cent of war ‘casualties have been from peripheral nerve injuries.
