Biomedical Research Studied
The Clinical Center of the
National Institutes of Health
(NIH), in Bethesda, Md., is
a hospital devoted ex
clusively to biomedical
research. Both sick people
and normal volunteers are
admitted for study; many
diseases and basic science
disciplines are studied at the
Clinical Center.
To participate in a
hospital study, all patients
must be referred by a
physician. Knee the first
admission to the Center in
1953, scientific results
coming out of this unique
hospital have had
significant impact on the
health of the nation and the
world.
The Clinical Center was
specially designed to bring
patient care facilities close
to research laboratories to
promote the quick transfer
to new findings of basic and
clinical scientists of the
treatment of patients.
Within the 541 bed hospital
twice as much space is
devoted to laboratories as to
patient care areas.
Research in laboratories is
conveniently located a few
steps from the patient’s
room. A biochemist peering
down a microscope at
proteins isolated from
diseased lungs might hear
patients with emphysema
coughing across the half
way; peditricians sitting
down to coffee in the
cafeteria with molecular
biologists and
biostatisticians may see
children skimming by in
wheelchairs.
An important function of
the Clinical Center involves
the research training op
portunities it provides for
thousands of physicians and
visitng foreign scientists.
Numerous opportunities
are available for in
vestigators to participate in
the use and development of
modem medical computer
systems, medical in
strumentation and elec
tronics. These systems are
used for patient care and for
clinical and basic research.
Another unique feature of
the Clinical Center is the

Volunteer Program.
Healthy volunteers of all
ages, sponsored by
organisations such as
colleges, churches, and
civic groups, offer them
selves and their time to
enable NIH scientists to
compare healthy systems
with diseased states to
better understand the
nature of various disorders.
The studies range from the
common cold to cancer.
A project may require the
volunteers to be confined to
their rooms a couple times a
week for 24-hour blood
pressure measurements or
breathe into a machine that
measures lung volume and
air-flow rate.
Childrearing Hints
By THERESA T. FORD

Extension Agent
Do you sometimes fed
that you have little control
over your child’s life?
Maybe because you live in a
large community where lots
of other people come into
contact with your child? Or
because you are a young
parent and you get lots of
help from others in raising
your child? You might be
surprised to know that

N.C. Safety
Award
Edenton-Chowan Schools
is one of 24 school units in
North Carolina which
recently received a 1978
Certificate of Safety
Achievement from the N. C.
Department of Labor.
Safety awards are
presented annually to those
agencies whose records
show very few injuries
which resulted in lost work
time. State Labor Depart
ment officials say the award
went only to those industries
or public units which
achieve a unit wide injury
incidence rate of .6 lost
work days per 100 full-time
workers for the 1977
calendar year.

Many volunteers find this
program rewarding. On
occasion, these experiences
lead to scientific careers; or
to vocations requiring
valuable technical skills; '
and even to specialised
careers in management and
public relations.
The Clinical Center ad
mits approximately 6,000
patients each year. In ad
dition the clinics handle
nearly 100,000 outpatient
visits annually. The
physicians, scientists,
volunteers and other sup
port staff work together
with a goal in mind
improving the nations
health.
regardless of the number of
people who influence your
child, you are a very im
portant person in your
child’s life.
One of the most important
influences on your child is
the affection, love and
understanding that you
give. Your child has the
right to affection, love and
understanding and in this
International Year of The
Child, you can fulfill your
child’s right in your home.
Your home is the place
where your child comes to
get that extra special care
that is needed to make it in
the world. Even though your
child may receive care from
other people, there’s nothing
like “homestyle” care. Ask
your child to share some of
the experiences that took
place outside the home. Talk
about your experiences, too.
It’s good to share joys, but a
sorrow or disappointment
shared will help make the
pain a little easier to bear.
Remember that your home
is the place where your child
needs to talk about the many
experiences involving other
people.
No matter what your age
of circumstances, you can
accept your responsibility to
fulfill your child’s rights.
Celebrate International
Year of the Child in your
home today.

energy crisis.
One resolution up for a
vote calls for a permanent,
year-round four-day work
week to save energy.
Another would require
drivers of state-owned

One resolution asking the
state to supply 10 gallons of
gasoline per week to state
