Medical science notes cover wide variety of subjects

Medical science, confronting the nuclear age, turns its attention to aspects of adaptation, but is also concerned with older problems of disease and health still incompletely solved. The biological effects of radiation are among the top subjects for attention; in the field of diseases still incurable, epilepsy comes in for experimentation; the mechanism of animals´ eyes is being studied in connection with brain disorders; the use of electrodes aids in probing the mysteries of muscular dystrophy; and a report has been received from the Bureau of Standards concerning hearing measurement and its international implications.
