Coated by Air Bubble Wells and Rouse Survive at Sea
W. C. Wells and Andrew Rouse spent 35 hours trapped beneath a sinking mud boat off Galveston Texas, enclosed in an air bubble. Coast Guard crews pumped air to right the ship, and both men resurfaced to medical care in improving condition. Rev Emil Sasges, a 39 year old priest, endured 22 days lost in western Canada after a homebuilt plane crash. He survived severe hunger and frostbite after 13 days near a mountain camp and a nine day walk to civilization. The ordeal included a search helicopter that passed him by in clouds before rescue.

Tiny Umbrella Used to Block Blood Clots
Florida surgeon Dr. Kazi Mobin-Uddin unveiled a tiny umbrella like blood filter at the 55th annual clinical Congress of the American Society of Surgeons in San Francisco. The device, a plastic disc with six steel spokes, is implanted via neck vein to block clots before they reach the lungs. It has been used in 50 patients and is now ready for non experimental use. Pulmonary embolism ranks as a leading hospital death cause, and the filter aims to reduce major surgery needs by catching clots early.
