I * ‘ T>y~Dtto McClarrin Special To The Post ARTIFICIAL SKIN BEING TESTED FOR BURN VIC TIMS: Artifical skin designed and constructed from animal tissue by Boston engineers and surgeons offers hope of new treatment for thousands of persons who suffer from burns each year. The skin substitute could potentially aid a large proportion of the 300,000 individuals who suffer burns and the 12,000vwWdii?'' each year in fires, says Dr John F. Burke, chief of staff of theShriners Burns Institute in Boston. Dr. Burke, a pioneer in burn treatment, said that the novel material, which was engineer ed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was "more promising than anything we' ve used before." He said that in 15 years of seeking better treatment for vulnerable burn victims, "we've tried almost everyting known to man," from synthetic foams to skin grafts from animal and hu man donors that are eventual ly rejected. While prelininary implanta tion tests of the new material in guinea pigs have been en couraging, both Dr. Burke and Dr. L.V. Yannas, an M.l.T. mechanical engineer, caution ed that further animal exper imentation would be neces sary before use with human patients could even be consid ered. People have been trying to find a replacement for skin since 1500 B.C. when they tried covering burns with fresh meat and honey. ALASKA HAS HIGHEST RATE OF GONORRHEA: Ac cording to a recent study by a major manufacturer of pro phylactics, the state of Alaska has the highest incidence of gonorrhea. The study said Al aska ranked first, Georgia se cond, followed by South Caro lina, Florida and Tennessee in incidence of gonorrhea, a ven ereal disease whose occur rence has risen sharply in the United States during the past ten years. The study was conducted by Youngs Drug Products (_orp of Piscataway. N J The resul ts show ed occurence ot gonor rhea in Alaska, long the na tion's leader, had jumped to 956.9 per 100.000 population in 1974. In 1965. the incidence was 405.9 Georgia s incidence was 918.1. South Carolina's. 782 2 -- down from 983.1 in 1972 -- Florida's. 768.1; and Tennes see's. 728.5. New Hampshire had the lowest gonorrhea oc currence with 100 6 per 100. ■^000, the report said. BIG INCREASE IN CES-' AREAN BIRTHS: As recently as 10 years ago. cesarean section - the surgical delivery of a baby - was a relatively infrequent procedure, per formed almost exclusively be cause the mother could not physically withstand the stress of normal childbirth. But during the past live years, there has been a dra malic increase in the number of cesarean births all over the country, both urban and rural, in public as well as private hospitals. A cesarean delivery is one in which the physician cuts through the mother's ab dominal wall and uterus to lift the baby out. Two reasons for the in crease • one social, the other scientific • have combined tc increase the rate, say physi cians the increasing ten dency of women to have fewei children and to have those later in their child bearing years, and the development i : the fetal monitor, a devic that measures the presure < the mother's contractions an the rate of the fetal heart be..' during labor .
