Tiny Pacemaker Implanted Directly in Heart
Cox Heart Institute researchers in Kellering unveil a pacemaker the size of a deck of cards implanted in the heart. It uses a chemical or atomic battery, lasts up to five to ten years, and costs about one thousand dollars. The device wires into the heart with a catheter, delivering regular impulses to maintain a steady rhythm. Potential radiation hazard is considered low compared to wristwatch radium experiments.

California nursing homes face Medi-Cal payment cuts
The California Nursing Home Association warns many facilities would close if proposed Medi-Cal cuts to nursing home payments are approved. The Department of Health Care Services seeks to reduce max patient payments to 12.54 dollars per day retroactive to February 1900, potentially forcing a return of about 50 billion dollars in overpayments. Yale Freed of Encino, soon to be association president, calls the plan ridiculous and questions how facilities could maintain care. Hearings on the cut are set for December 15 and 16 in Sacramento.

Sclerosis Prevented in Animals at Salk Institute
Salk Institute reports two substances, including a modified molecule called HNEB derivative, prevented a form of multiple sclerosis in animals and reversed disease in rabbits, guinea pigs, and monkeys. Dr. Eylar notes the condition EAE mirrors human MS and suggests a possible vaccine path. He links a potential virus to MS, affecting about 500,000 Americans yearly, and proposes testing in humans if further proof confirms Ai protein involvement.
