el Aviv — A new device
developed in Israel en-
ables asthma sufferers to
anticipate an acute attack
by regularly monitoring their
breathing over the tele-
phone. The patient need
only breathe into a spe-
cially designed tube once
to several times (as pre-
scribed). The tube is con-
nected to a telephone,
which automatically di-
als through to a hospital
computer that analyzes
the health of the asthma
sufferer.
"If the computer read-
ing determines that the
patient's health shows
cause for concern, then
the asthma sufferer can
be immediately sum-
moned to the medical
center or warned to rest,"
said Dr. Marcel Topilsky
of the Department of In-
ternal Medicine at Ichilov
Hospital in Tel Aviv.
Known as the P-100,
the innovative instru-
ment was developed
by Shahal Medical Ser-
vices and the Israeli elec-
tronic conglomerate Tadiran,
in collaboration with an
American partner, Servable
Technology Inc. of Washington,
D.C. LJ
The p-100 forecasts
acute asthma attacks.

RUTH HEIGES SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS
A
new program in a far-
flung Israeli kibbutz
has struck a chord
which is resonating
not only in musical circles but
in sporting ones, too. Over the
past two years, the founders of
Mastercourse — Keshet Eilon
have been exploring the
enhancement of violin vir-
tuosity through archery.
"It is not simply a romantic
notion dating back to King
David, who was both a master
archer and a gifted lyre
player," says project initiator
Amnon Weinstein, himself an
avid archer and an interna-
tionally recognized master
violin maker. "During the
week-long course the musi-
cian's archery skills easily
surpass levels that usually
take several months of in-
struction and practice to
