immediately and were
spared the need for hos-
pitalization and for the use
of Factor VIII, with its dan-

creation of Factor VIII an-

be held for use in more se-

New techniques for the
dental treatment of patients
suffering from hemophilia
and neurological diseases,
such as cerebral palsy, have
been developed by dentists
in the Oral Medicine De-
partment of the
Hadassah-Hebrew Univer-
sity Medical Center in
Jerusalem, headed by Dr.
Adi Garfunkel.
"Several years ago," re-
ports Dr. Garfunkel, "we
started to use anti-
fibrinolytic medications to
stop the dissolving of clots
without the addition of Fac-
tor VIII, which some
hemophiliacs cannot toler-
ate. We were able, with this
medication, to extract teeth
and perform other dental
treatments without pro-
longed bleeding. Now, in
addition to the use of anti-
fibrinolytic medication, we
are spraying on the gums
cyonacrylate derivative
(popularly known as 'Crazy
Glue') which stops the
bleeding immediately.
"Recently, a child with
both epilepsy , and
hemophilia, was brought in
bleeding copiously, because
he had bitten his tongue
during seizure. We were
able to stop the bleeding
Dr. Garfunkel describes
another dramatic treat-
ment of a patient who had
cirrhosis of the liver. "When
he entered Hadassah Hospi-
tal he was bleeding so copi-
ously that the amount of
protein swallowed created a
crisis, since patients with
cirrhosis should not eat
animal proteins. After try-
ing various methods to little
or not avail, we took the
regular antifibrinolytic
medication, which is pre-
pared for intravenous injec-
tion and used it undiluted as
a mouthwash. It worked
miraculously, and we are
now investigating why this
happened. We found that
I- uman saliva was anti-
fibrinolytic activity was
combined with the anti-
fibrinolytic activity of the
drug (which was used as a
mouthwash) the effect was
increased manifold and
stopped the bleeding."

The annual Hadassah
E.Y.E. Bank project, Em-
phasis on Youth Education
is underway as Haddasah
members fill the familiar
blue dime banks in support
of'Hadassah Israel Educa-
tion Services. The money
raised will be used to con-
tinue and improve three
important educational
programs.
The first program is of-
fered by the Hadassah
Seligsberg - Brandeis Com-
prehensive High School
It is called the KALMAN
J. MANN BUILDING and,
like the man it honors, it is
the heart of the Hadassah-
Hebrew University Medical
Center at Ein Karem in the
city of Jerusalem.
There could be no more
fitting tribute to the distin-
guished and dynamic, re-
cently retired, HMO
Director-General. A very

Mann noted that "for three

for technological skills such
as electronics and computer
sciences; and it provides
night classes for adults to
enable them to re-train or
upgrade job skills.
The third program is
found in the Hadassah Voc-
ational Guidance Institute
which provides individual
counseling, group residence
and selection testing.
The second program is
carried out by the Hadassah
Community College, a un-
ique two-year vocational,
technical facility, the first

agination, knowledge and
sensitivity. You have
welded a vast complex of
medical and social services,
research and development,
teaching, public health and
community education into a
harmonious unit for healing
the sick, for binding up a na-
tion's wounds in war and
enhancing its quality of life
in peace. You have encour-
aged advances in the sci-
ence of medicine and helped
new generations to serve a
noble profession with nobil-
ity."
The new building, with a
service wing, covers an area
of 75,000 square feet. It
houses the Computer
Center, a suite of 17 new
operating theaters, lockers
and shower rooms for 1,200
doctors and nurses, bed-
washing and mechanical
engineering centers, stor-
age facilities for 5,000 items
and stores and equipment,
electronics workshops and
energy supplies.
The dedication of the
building took place on a
balmy Jerusalem evening
against hte beautiful
backdrop of Judean Hills.
Dr. Mann told how Hadas-
sah decided, after confer-
ences with then Prime
Minister David Ben-Gurion
to build the Medical Center
at Ein Karem, he said
"Ben-Gurion did not want to
accept that we had given up
Dr. Kalman J.
Mann, right,
recently retired
Director
General of HMO
for the past 3
decades, with
his appointed
successor, Dr.
Shmuel
Penchas.
hope of getting back Mount
Scopus from the Jorda-
nians, in terms of the Ar-
mistice Agreement of 1949.
We had to convince him first
that we could not carry on a
hospital in five improvised
buildings indefinitely.
Ben-Gurion agreed, but
wanted us to go to a site far
to the west of Jerusalem.
"When we chose Ein Ka-
ren, it was miles from the
city. People said that we
were mad, but we believed
in the future expansion of
Jerusalem. We have proved
to be right."
Discussing the building
being dedicated in his
name, Professor Mann said
it would house the infras-
tructure of the hospital. "As
I retire," he said, "I realize
that we had to delay this in-
frastructure in order to con-
centrate on healing, teach-
ing and research. The
human element of a devoted
staff and team work is
equally important. I feel
very humble when I think of
all the thousands of people,
both here and in the United
States, who have contri-
buted to the success of this
great citadel of healing,
teaching and research."
