“Back Trouble?” Times All Changing

By C-G-MCDANIEL A P Science Writer CHICAGO (AP) — About a quarter of all Americans have bad enough backaches to go to a doctor about them. For a fraction, surgery is required, sometimes involving fusion of a portion erf the spine.

Over the past few decades, the time in bed required has dropped for some patients to a day or so, compared with the two or three weeks or even months they formerly were kept down. The time still varies, however. Those who require more

HFAC To Take Up War Power Issue

WASHINGTON (AP) - The House Foreign Affairs Committee takes up a measure to limit a president’s war powers. Rep. Jonathan B. Bingham, D-N.Y.. said he would attempt to attach a provision that would cut off funds for bombing in Cambodia. But committee leaders contended the war fund cutoff would cairy the broader war powers bill to defeat in the House and said they might try to shuffle Bingham's amendment off to a subcommittee. The war powers bill would require a president to pull back any U.S. forces he committed

overseas in 12U days unless Congress voted approval of the commitment by then. Any time during the 120 days, under terms of the bill. Congress could vote to order pullout of the U.S. forces. A President would be required to report estimated costs, authority and scope of his war commitment to Congress within 48 hours and the 120-day deadline for Congress’ approval of the commitment would start then. A similar bill—but one setting the deadline at 30 days instead of 120—was approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last Thursday.

extensive fusion — involving several vertebrae — have, of course, to stay in bed longer. There are indications that a recently developed enzyme which can be injected in the spine for certain problems with the disks may further reduce the need for spinal surgery. This enzyme, called chymopapain, is derived from papaya. It is being used in only a few medical centers, pending further approval by the Food and Drug Administration before it is generally available. Dr. Leon L. Wiltse, a faculty member at the University of California Medical School at Irvine and staff member at Long Beach Hospital, said in an interview that orthopedic surgeons try to treat backaches conservatively, trying to relieve the pain without turning to surgery. “We’re not fusing nearly as many spines as formerly,” Wiltse said, although he added that some orthopedic surgeons might disagree. Fusion involves transplanting part of the ilium found in the hip bone, or of the tibia, the calf bone, to the spine to stabilize a diseased or injured portion. Artificial devices, such as metal rods or plates and springs, also may be used. Dr. Paul R. Meyer Jr. a member of the Northwestern Unviersity Medical School faculty and director of the spinal cord injury unit at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, said spinal fusion today is most commonly used to correct idiopathic scoliosis — curvature of the spine from an unknown cause. Meyer outlined several other conditions for which fusion is sometimes required. Among them is degenerative arthritis. This occurs in everybody, starting in middle age, and does not cause any problem in most people. When it does, it often can be treated successfully with aspirin and exercise and only occasionally requires fusion. Fusion also is done for the socalled “slipped disk” or “ruptured disk.” Meyer said that

perhaps only 2 per cent of those caused by this problem actually who think their backache is have it.
