Dr. David Miller, Heart Disease & Stroke Control Program, Atlanta, Georgia moderates this debate where Dr. Jeremiah Stamler, Chicago Health Research Foundation, presents statistical data to implicate the relevance of diet in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic disease, and argues that alteration of the American dietary pattern is essential if we are to reverse our atherosclerotic epidemic. On the other side of the debate, Dr. Mark D.

This film shows children at a health camp for diabetic children founded by Dr. Elliott Joslin and Dr. Charles Best, and profiles the doctors' historic contributions to diabetes research and treatment. Children are shown taking food measurements, giving themselves insulin shots, and playing and interacting as all children do. They converse with doctors and nurses about their condition and about managing it independently.

This film addresses facial paralysis and is likely meant for an audience of medical students. It begins by following the facial nerve on diagrams of the brain and skull, labeling specific parts of the brain, including but not limited to the thalamus, caudatum, putamen, pallidum, cerebral penduncle, chorda tympani, and ganglion sphenopalatium. The film then shows a series of patients, each of whom has varying degrees of facial paralysis and disorders including Bill's Phenomenon, Peripheral Palsy, Nuclear Facial Palsy, and Central Facial Palsy.

This film shows a debate between Dr. John Neff, who is against the continuation of smallpox vaccination use, and Dr. Samuel Katz, who is in support of it. The debate is mediated by Dr. Paul Wehrle. The host welcomes the audience and Dr. Wehrle gives a brief background of smallpox in America, and then shows a world map that indicates where smallpox has been a problem and during what periods of time. Dr.

The duties of a home health aide are illustrated in footage of aides in patients' homes, in classrooms, and in conferences.

With a typical family and a typical case of tuberculosis, this film emphasizes the role played by the hospital-trained nurse in the care and recovery of the patient. By explanation, demonstration, and participation, it stresses the importance of cleanliness, bed rest, separation from others, and medical direction; also proper nutrition, disposal of contaminated articles, morale, preventing the spread of tubercle bacilli, occupational therapy, and gaining the understanding and cooperation of both the patient and his family. Produced by the National Tuberculosis Association.

This film is a demonstration of how social situations pattern behavior in rats. The film shows a competitive food-obtaining situation in which rats develop sharing or altruistic behavior. It also shows a situation in which competitive behavior becomes increasingly severe instead of developing into sharing. Displaced aggression, hoarding, and other socially significant behaviors are shown.

This film shows experiments on competition and dominance hierarchies in rats. From an economy of abundance, rats are put into situations where competition for food is essential. At first the rats behave very similarly; they compete but do not fight. When insufficient food for their complete satisfaction is given, savage fighting develops. A definite dominance hierarchy (i.e., dominant, intermediate, subordinate) soon emerges. Personality typing based on this kind of social experience seems to be relatively permanent.

This film attempts to explain why researchers are having a difficult time discovering the causes and cures for cancer. It begins with an overview of the birth of man from one cell and generally explores the complexity of the human body. It shows the isolation and testing of cancer cells and explains the effects of heredity and environment on normal cells. It explains the difficulties of tracing several generations for heredity research and the multitude of chemicals, etc. which affect cells and turn them cancerous.
