SECTION ONE: READING AND INTERPRETING (8pts)

Suffering during the First World War inspired doctors to work hard at finding cures fo diseases, and ways of saving lives. The decade following 1918 saw 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.
