Factor VIII could be held for use in more se- vere injuries, if required." 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 special Citation to Dr. Mann noted that "for three fateful decades, you have pursued Hadassah ideals of service to Israel and hu- manity with devotion, im- g can use yowr contributions of "house/kola i.tems n3 13 C I where both academic and vocational courses are av- ailable to the students en- rolled there.

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."
