New Light on Effect of Malaria
On Body Cells Reported Here

The brain waves themselves have
little meaning In the normal In
dividual. They can be detected only
when the individual is asleep OF
completely relaxed with the eyes
closed.
Once the malaria attack Is over
DR.. Overman said, the brain waves
tend to come back to normal. II
they do not the chances that the
patient will recover from the paresis
sufficiently to become useful men,
Der of society are quite slim, the
University of Tennessee expert
ments show.
Another hitherto unreported ef-
feet Is on the cells Of the adrenal
glands. Autopsies on both men and
monkeys have shown that the dis
ease tends to kill groups of cells in
the adrenal cortex. Hormones Sc
creted by these cells in normal per-
sons act as "sparkplugs" Of physical
activity. Lack Of these secretions
cause anemia.
Explain Anemia.
It has long been recognized that
persons tend to be anemic after q
malaria attack. The adrenal gland
findings adequately explain this fol
the first time. The cell necrosis in
monkeys can be prevented, DR.. Over
man said, by massive doses Of ex-
tracts from the adrenal cortex cells
These also tend to prevent the
escape Of potassium from other body
cells and shorten the period neces.
sary for complete recovery.
The malaria attack itself is moi
noticeably affected by hormone in
jections, DR.. .Overman said, but the
period of recovery is notably short.
ened. This profound effect on the
body chemistry, he said, may be due
to some specific poison caused by
the malaria parasite or 1t may be .
general and hitherto unknown effect
of high fever.

By Thomos R. Henry

A hitherto unknown effect Of
malaria that brings radical changes
in the internal chemistry of body
cells was reported to the Interna-
tional Congresses on Tropical Medi-
cine and Malaria here today.
The disease so alters the perne-
ability of the membranes Of the
cells, that the elements sodium and
chlorine can enter the cell walls
easily. while potassium flows out
into the blood stream. This effect
was shown in an exhibit by DR..
Richard B. Overman Of the Uni
versity of Tennessee.
In the healthy individual potas-
SUM is one of the chief constitu-
ents of cells. Sodium and chlorine
are present only in extremely min
ute quantities. Apparently, DR..
Overman's experiments show, the
peculiar type of fever caused by the
malaria bug" creates exactly the
reverse condition.
Saps Efficiency.
It long has been recognized that
this disease Is one Of the most
debilitating to which human be-
ings are subject. It has been cred
tied as a major factor in the fall
of two major civilizations of the
past, the Roman Empire and OF
the Maya Empire Of Yucatan.
University of Tennessee researches
for the first time show how the
malady may sap the vitality OF
human beings. Malaria Is caused
by a protozoan, a minute one-celled
organism, which gets inside the red
blood cells. It causes alternate
chills and fevers. A victim may be
unable to work at full efficiency for
several months after an attack.
This is probably due, DR.. Overman's
experiments show, to the fact that
this time Is required for the. cells
to return to their normal chem
istry.
During a malaria attack, the re-
ported experiments show, there is
a marked change in the brain elec-
tricity. The so-called alpha waves
from the cerebral cortex are slowed
down four or five fold.
Demonstrated on Patients.
This was demonstrated in 7C
psychotic patients suffering from
paresis, or syphilitic infection of the
brain. The accepted means of treat
ing this disease is to give the pa
tient a succession of high fevers by
means of benign tertiary malaria
Apparently the injecting organisms
are burned out of the brain cells
