The new things include some recently uncovered facts about how lungs mix inhaled air, how thoroughly they expel used air, and how efficient they are in passing oxygen along into the blood. The aerodynamics and me chanical efficiency of lungs are outside the scope of ordinary medicine, and that is why the program gets a “super-scientific” rating. Dr. Julius L. Wilson of Philadelphia, head of the proj ect, told a press conference to day. Air mixing determines how thoroughly the lung mechanism can separate oxygen from the other components of air. The expulsion test yields measure ments on how much of the empty space within the lungs actually functions during breathing. The other test determines to what extent a tissue which passes oxy gen from lung to blood stream may be impaired by disease. All this will add up to better techniques for determining how much lung functioning a per son may lose and yet leave a safe margin for life. This will help a surgeon to calculate how much he can cut out. It will tell other doctors more precisely how active a pa tient can be with a given amount of functioning lung. 1 Two Missing, 14 Are Safe After Two Tugboats Sink By the Auociated Pratt NEW ORLEANS.
