SECTION ONE: READING AND INTERPRETING (8pts)
Suffering during the First World War inspired doctors to work hard at finding cures for
diseases, and ways of saving lives. The decade following 1918 saw some remarkable
advances.
The cure for diabetes was found in 1921.Work in Romania (Nicholas Paulesco) and in
Canada (Banting and Best) showed that insulin suddenly made sufferers better. The cure
was remarkably simple and the disease is no longer feared as it used to be.
Blood transfusion had become more reliable since 1921, when the importance of not
mixing different “blood” groups was recognized. When the British scientist Robertson
first succeeded in storing blood (for 21 days) in 1918, by adding glucose to it, the
foundations were led for establishing blood banks.
New techniques were also developed in x –ray photography. Since 1896, when Roentgen
discovered x-rays, photographs of the body had shown only the patient’s bones. But in
1921, the Frenchman Bocage patented a new method for making x-ray photographs more
sensitive. The internal organs of the body could now be seen much more clearly.
