11 LIFELINE FOR CHRISTMAS — For elderly, handicapped or isolated people, the perfect Christmas gift this year may be independence. The Lifeline program can offer independence to a friend or relative for a nominal monthly fee and can provide self-sufficiency, self-reliance, and self-esteem. The Lifeline program has been offered to residents of Kosciusko County since May, 1983. Adrian S. Farmer. Kosciusko Community Hospital Lifeline coordinator, explained that “About half of our units are leased by sons and daughters who are concerned about an elderly parent’s health. Others are leased by older and handicapped individuals themselves.” Lifeline is a program which provides a 24-hour access to help when a person is alone. A small portable button is worn on the wrist or around the person's neck. When an emergency arises, a press of the button automatically dials the telephone notifying the hospital that help is needed.

Further information is available by contacting Adrian Farmer at the hospital.

New tests developed at KCH

New tests to determine pregnancy and hypothyroidism (cretinism) have been developed at Kosciusko Community Hospital and are now in regular use at the Warsaw facility. According to Steve Malon, chief laboratory technologist, the pregnancy test can detect a pregnancy within two weeks of conception, before the first missed menses. Termed “HCG by RIA,” the test utilizes radioactive isotopes to test blood samples, a more reliable testing method than utilizing urine samples, to deterCrime and victims The number of victims of crime dropped 4.1 per cent last year, one of the most dramatic declines in 10 years, the Justice Department said recently.

mine HCG through a technique known as Radioimmunoassay (RIA). HCG, Human Chorionic Ganadotropin, is the hormone released in pregnancy. The technique is so sensitive that it not only detects pregnancy at very early stages, it is also useful in detecting ectopic or tubal pregnancies which characteristically have very low levels of HCG and can be missed by routine urine test kits. The other new procedure is called “Neonatal T 4” and uses the same RIA technique used in the pregnancy test. The test detects hypothyroidism in newborns. Indiana state law requires infants to be tested for abnormally low levels of thyroid hormone within three to 15 days after birth. If the condition is present and continues untreated, the infant

can suffer severe mental and physical retardation. Treatment for the condition, when detected, is simple and can prevent retardation. The speciman requirements, in both tests, call for a small amount of blood to be drawn from a vein in an adult and a heel-stick in an infant. Radioactive
