Radium in the body linked to cancer risk says physician
Waller Dazarus Bar low, noted for cancer treatment with radium, argued at a physicians meeting that radium in the body can cause cancer. He described experiments on animal cells showing cancer as disordered growth and that radium distributed in nature can stimulate cells and provoke deleterious effects. He explained bacteria can pull radium from solution, concentrating it in tissues and potentially triggering tumor development. He noted radium sometimes appears in normal tissues and is found more in cancerous ones, disputing irritation as the sole cause of cancer and citing gall bladder cancer rarity as a contrast.

Budapest Surgeon Uses Hair Grafts in Scalp Surgery
Budapest May 23 A method of sewing hairs to the human scalp developed at St Stephens Hospital by Dr Szekely uses fine gold wires as anchors. Up to 100 hairs are placed through each square centimeter with ends free, producing a natural look after two weeks. The procedure reportedly allows planting up to 60,000 hairs with minimal side effects and no lasting inflammation, with a review of a seven year patient showing a natural glossy head.
