Medicos Disagree In Bursitis Care

NEW YORK (UPI) — It win °be a comfort although a smaU one to the occasional but innumerable victims of bursitis to know medical science is far from being of one mind on how to deal with it. Dr. J. Drennan Lowell, a teacher of orthopedic surgery at Harvard Medical School, listed a dozen possible ways in-, eluding “manipulation” which means’ flingihg the affected • -arm tor. leg) about no matter hew much it hurts.

males who think a Saturday and a Sunday of strenuous physical activity will make up for their physical sloth during the other five days of the week. For those who are unsure, a bursa is a sac in bony prominences over which muscles and tendons move. It contains a fluid which looks like the white of an egg and when a bursa gets inflamed, oh brother! There’s no pain quite as persistent and as excruciating. In the current rash of bursitis victims, the bursa usually afflicted is the one where an upper arm merges with the shoulder. There is nor’ comfort for them whether standing, sitting or lying doiwn and even the slightest arm movement becomes an ordeal. Dr. Lowell was asked by the New England Journal of Medicine to instruct its readers on the best way to cope with it and make it go away as quickly as possible. He puts the tender arms into slings and their owners into beds, in a sitting or a semiSitting position. He gives them a pain-lessening drug and an anti-inflammatory drug (phenyL butazone) four times a day and otherwise doesn’t touch them. “The response in most cases is dramatic and occurs within 48 to 72 hours, and occasionally as earjy as 24 hours,” he said. “There is a rapid loss of pain and concomitant increase in available motion. “During this period the arm is taken out of the sjing for increasing periods and gentle exercises are started, first swinging the arm as a pendulum, later, using the opposite arm to assist in ...bringing the affected one overhead or behind the back/’ J ~’ . Almost never is it necessary to “manipulate” the arm, with consequent torment to its owner, in order to help the incflamed bursa, he said, and only rarely is it necessary to get to the bursa surgically to remove a calcium deposit. He also rejected treatments with vitamin A, penicillin, traction, diathermy and ultrasound."

Describes Shrines Vqii Your Child Pope Paul To Visit . .' * 'j. . EDITORS Note: these sacred places are encom- BA Bill I fllll The following dispatch by passed within the huge Church " ■ ■■Wl ■ IIW

EDITORS Note: The following dispatch by UPTs religion writer describes the origins of some of the shrines that will be visited by Pope Paul VI during his visit to the Holy Land next month. By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Pope Paul VI is going to Palestine With the same motive that has animated "millions of other Christian pilgrims during the past 2,000 years. In his own words, he wants to see “the holy places where Christ was born, lived, died and ascended to Heaven after His resurrection.” Because he is a widely-read scholar, the Pppe is not likely to be disappointed — as some pilgrims are—by the discovery that it is often necessary to settle for probabilities and approximations in identifying the localities where biblical events took place. For example: When the Pope visits Bethlehem, he can be quite sure that he is standing in the village where Jesus was born. The oldest and best authenticated of all Christian records—the New Testament Gospels—identify Bethlehem as the place where the herald angels proclaimed the “glad tidings of great joy.” But should the Pope wish to see the precise spot in Bethlehem where Mary “brought forth her first-born Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger,” he will have to be guided by ancient tradition rather than the clear words of scripture. _ Surprises Western Christians _ Tradition points to a cave in the Judean hillside as the site of the manger. This usually surprises Western Christjans who have been nourished on Christmas art depicting the nativity scene in a stable attached to an inn. But the” Bible says nothing about a stable. It sim- • ply indicates that Jesus was born in a place where livestock were kept. And in toe hill country of Palestine, it was — an<J. still is—customary to use caves to keep livestock safe at night. The particular cave which Bethlehem guides point out as the birthplace of Jesus has been a place of pilgrimage for Christians since at least 150 A.D., and possibly before that, so toe tradition is certainly a very anciept one. The first Christian emperor of Rome, Constantine, built a church over toe cave is 325 A.D. The present Church of toe Nativity, in which Pope Paul- will worship, is an enlargement of Con-stantine’s-church, built by toe Emperor Justinian I in toe 6th century A.D. Same Situation Prevails As z the Pope visits other places connected with toe life of Christ, he repeatedly will encounter the same situation that prevails in Bethlehem. He can go to toe. little suburb of Bethany, about a mile and a half from Jerusalem, and be sure that it was here that Jesus visited his friends; Mary, Martha and Lazarus. But he may be somewhat less convinced when local guides point out a particular underground „ chamber as the burial vault from, which Lazarus was called forth. In Jerusalem, where the climactic events of Holy took place, toe effort to pin point precise locations is even more difficult. Jerusalem has been a living city for the past 20 centuries, with dew buildings constantly being build on the ruins of old ones. Archaeologists estimate that at least 20 feet of rubble now lie over the streets where Christ talked, and over which He carried His cross. Some of the sites now pointed out in Jerusalem as holy places are of very dubious authenticity.' For example, the place where Jesus ate His Last Supper with His -Disciples is identified in toe Bible only as a large upper room in a private home. A tradition which apparently is no older than tod middle ages places the upper room (called “the cenacle”) in a building on a hillside southwest of .toe city walls. The interpreter’s dictionary of the Bible comments,, that “t h e slight claim of tins tradition to authenticity is not enhanced by the fact that toe tomb of David is alleged to have been at the same place.” ” More Reliable Tradition Much older and vastly more reliable is the tradition which identifies the site of Calvary, Christ was crucified, and the adjacent garden tomb in which he was buried.

these sacred places are encompassed within the huge Church of toe Holy Sepulchre, where Pope Paul plans to celebrate Mass on Jan. 4. The church was built by toe Emperor Constantine in toe early Fourth Century,on a . hill which had been known among Jerusalem Christians for generations as far back as Constantine could trace —as toe site of Christ’s death and resurrection. The Pope expressed a specific desire to visit toe place where Christ “ascended to heaven after His resurrection.” That is clearly identified in the bible as the Mount of Olives, a low mountain (2,963 feet above sea level) which overlooks Jerusalem from toe west. On its lower slopes, he will also find the site of toe Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with His disciples, and to which He went, on toe night He was betrayed, to pray: “My father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as , Thou wilt.”

By DAVID NYDICK UPI Educational Specialist Test experts usually are the first to admit that school tests have limitations. This does not make them unfair or useless, but tests should not be toe only method of judgement. When tests are used in combination with other information, they become important in evaluating individuals and groups. _ A There are three major types of tests used in schools. These are tests for ability (IQ), achievement, and diagnosis. Depending on toe purpose and design of a test, it may be given individually or in groups. Ability tests help to measure potential school success. They give an estimate of academic learning ability. Generally they give a realistic picture with some exceptions. The group type test will"' supply a teacher with a reasonable

idea of the total class level. It is true that any one or more of the scores could be off but these would -not usually have a major effect on the group average. An individual IQ test, given by a professional, will give a good estimate of that student’s ability. Achievement tests give a picture of growth in- the different subject areas. For example, a class of students may be given math achievement tests over a period of years. The results can be used several ways. An individual's growth can be compared to the progrfss Which is normally expected. This gives the teacher an idea of how much that student Is learning. The total group or even an entire school can be compared in this same way. If the scores on a particular test are low, it may indicate a problem with the school program. There are many other factors which can

cause a low average score. Diagnostic tests are used to discover in which skills an individual or group is weak. While an achievement test may show a general weakness in arithmetic, a diagnostic test will show just which skills in arithmetic are weak. These may be addition, subtraction, etc. or even a particular kind of addition. This type of test is one of the most important to the instructional program. If it is used properly, a teacher can find out just where to concentrate her efforts. With the growing number of students applying for admission to college, tests have become increasingly important. When a college has more applicants than space, a choice must be made as to who should be accepted.
