tology-Oncology, which treats 65
percent of all children diagnosed
with cancer and blood disorders
in Israel. The Center, which is
equipped with highly specialized
diagnostic, treatment and re-
search tools, serves children with
blood disorders and malignan-
cies on an inpatient and out-pa-
tient basis.
CMCI treats infants, children
and adolescents suffering from
the most serious and life-threat-
ening diseases and injuries — re-
gardless of race, religion or
national origin — from Israel
and throughout the Middle East.
Ben and Harriett Teitel were
proud Jews and committed Zion-
ists. They owned and operated
Mendelson's Atlantic Resort in
South Haven, Michigan with
Harriett's family, the Mendel-
sons. After Mrs. Teitel died in
1965, he built and operated
apartment developments in
southwest Michigan.
Since Mr. Teitel's death in
1985, his charitable trust, ad-
ministered by his nephew, Ger-
ald Cook, has aided numerous
charities in the Detroit area and
in Israel, including a day-care
center in Detroit's Project Re-
newal city of Yavne; the Harri-
ett and Ben Teitel Jewish
Federation Apartments in Oak
Park; the Jewish Vocational Ser-
vice's Herman Teitel Senior
Adult Workshop in Southfield;
programs at Hillel Day School,
the Jewish Home for the Aged
and Holocaust Memorial Center
in Detroit, and the Ramah-Noam
camping programs in Israel. 1=1

Blood Pressure
Link To Cell Death

Some forms of high blood pres-
sure (primary hypertension), the
leading cause of cardiovascular
disease, kidney malfunction and
strokes — may result from the
death of specific brain cells, ac-
cording to an animal study at the
Weizmann Institute, was de-
scribed in last month's issue of
the Journal of Neuroscience. The
researchers now hope to deter-
mine whether the administration
of substances promoting nerve-
cell growth and development can
keep these brain cells alive, there-
by forestalling hypertension.
Several types of neuronal dis-
orders, including Alzheimer,
Parkinson and Huntington dis-
eases, have been attributed to de-
generation of specific groups of
neurons in various regions of the
brain. The new study indicates
that hypertension may derive
from causes surprisingly similar
to those leading to the afore-
mentioned disorders.
This research was carried out
by Dr. Raya Eilam, Dr. Rakfael
Malach and Professor Menahem
