Age No Drawback To Needed Surgery

By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — Within 33 months two surgeons performed major operations on 65 men and women who were between 80 and 100 years old. The mortality rate was 20 per cent but this was very little higher than would be expected among much younger surgical patients when the nature and circumstances of the surgery are considered. These statistics are of interest because so many persons were shocked that Gen. Douglas MacArthur underwent three operations in the last weeks of his life. Age No Drawback The operating surgeons said advanced age in itself shouldn’t be a reason for not operating if surgery will help the patient. On the other hand, needed surgery should be performed when patients are younger—when it can be planned and performed under ideal circumstances. In the aged, the. surgeons remarked, surgery is likely to be of the emergency kind. More than a quarter of their 65 aged patients — 18 — had gangrene of a lower leg which necessitated amputation. The mortality rate in this group was 25 per cent In most cases gangrene and infection were far advanced. Most Involved Cancer The surgeons were Dr. Thomas C. Case, of the New York Medical College, a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and Dr. R. A. Giery. Their 100-year-old patient underwent surgery for breast cancer. She died the day after the operation, of a heart attack. • Os the 65 operations 27 per cent were in the abdomen and most were for cancer. SSix of the 13 deaths among the 65 were in this group, but “had they been operated upon earlier they may have had a better chance of recovery,” Case and Giery reported. “Many persons in the older age group can be expected to have poor physical reserves,” they said. “Nevertheless they can be subjected to necessary operative procedures with ac--ceptable mortality and morbidity rates, provided every patiet is considered individually.' Anesthesia Important “Certain factors must be considered of major importanct: 1.) restoration and maintenance of blood volume; 2.) avoidance of infection; 3.) judicious use of antibiotics; 4.) proper control of electrolyte levels, (meaning the fluid balances which Gen. MacArthur’ss surgeons concentrated upon); 5.) careful evaluation of pre-existing or co - existing disease, and 6.) avoidance of prolonged surgical operations when more simple and quick procedures serve the same purpose. With the aged surgical pa-

tient the most important problem is anesthesia. The reason is that almost all aged persons have some impairment of breathing. But with the proper technique a safe, tranquil and regular sleep can be produced which wasn’t consistently posmmmm mmm mmm mmmrnmm sible with the aged in the past, they said. Die surgeons reported to the American Geriatrics Society. Battery-Powered Appliances Grow By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPI)—You can take it with you — in what is shaping up as an era of portable power. These are the numerous appliances already on the market or soon to be which are powered by batteries instead of the plug-in cords. There are the hedge clippers which eliminate 50 or 75 feet of cord stringing behind the clipper, the car buffer, the hair dryers which dry while the wearer wanders about doing household chores, the manicure set that buffs the nails whether you’re on the patio or in the boudoir, the vacuum cleaner that runs without the housekeeper plugging it into an outlet in each room. There are cordless carving knives, pepper mills, hair curlers, letter openers. And I can hardly wait for the battery-op-erated broom. Sees Cordless Living “I see an era of cordless living,” said James Rehfield, direct account sales manager for the Union Carbide Corp. “The average house has so many cords now and there’s just not anything attractive about them stringing around a room. I think the housewife just got tired. . .and demanded some changes. “The housewife is the real designer of today.” Other factors influencing the growth of the battery-powered, Rehfield said, were the added hours of leisure which means more time in the backyard, on the golf course, on the water. And, currently, he added there is some of the status symbol connected with, say, "a carving knife without a cord to get into the gravy. It just happens of course that Union Carbide makes batteries* to power many of the new items. Some Are Costlier But the public utilities can relax. Many of the items bat-tery-powered are costlier to operate than those with conventional plug-ins. But Rehfield feels that as production of battery-powered items increases, cost wilf decrease. Even if operating them is not competitive with the corded models, he said, “women won’t mind paying the few extra pennies for the conveni-

My daughter has become engaged to a young man whose | home is in a distant city. She has not met his mother, but would like to write her a note. Don’t you think his mother should be the first to write a note? A. Indeed she should write a letter of welcome to your daughter — and, if necessary, her son should remind her of this. Q. My cleaning woman, who is from the South, always addresses me as “Miss Jane,’ 4 instead of “Mrs. Harding.” Is this improper? A. I shouldn’t object to it. It’s an old southern custom for house servants, and I think it has a I certain charm about it Q. When addressing a business letter jointly to a man and a woman, what is the correct salutation? A. “Dear Sir and Madam.”
