4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, November 27, 1984 Local tr ansplant patient stable IN BRIEF By DOV COHEN The six-month-old girl who under- went heart transplant surgery last week at University Hospital is reported to be in critical but stable condition, hospital spokesman Dave Friedo said yesterday. The baby girl, believed to be the recipient, is breathing with the aid of a ventilator in the hospital's intensive care unit, according to Friedo. HE WOULD not say whether the girl was conscious. Hospital officials say it's too early to determine whether the eight-hour tran- splant operation completed early they are optimistic because the girl's condition is stable. "The doctors are hopeful she'll con- tinue to make progress. We'll just have to wait and see," Friedo said. "She's a very sick little girl recovering from a taxing, long, drawn- out heart transplant," he added. slt'lileld at her parents' request, was born with misplaced arteries. The donor of her new heart was a 15- month-old Texas boy, Arnold Shalda, who was pronounced brain dead last Wednesday. Shalda's kidney was tran- splanted into a 9-year-old Detroit boy at Children's Hospital in Detroit. y youngest living heart transplant Thanksgiving day is a success, but say .The, girl, whose name has been Artificl .art eeone From AP and UPI LOUISVILLE, Ky. - William Schroeder's bleeding was stopped and his circulation was "excellent" on his second day living with the soft clicking of a mechanical heart inside his chest, doctors said yesterday. "He is not bleeding... There appear to be no major complications," said Dr. Allan Lansing, chairman of Humana Heart Institute in Louisville and assistant to Dr. William DeVries, who implanted the artificial heart. "HE IS WARM, pink and dry, indicating excellent circulation," Lansing said at a press briefing. Schroeder underwent emergency surgery to stop excessive bleeding Sunday night, less than six hours after he became the second person in history to receive a permanent artificial heart. The excessive bleeding was stopped, but not before Schroeder had lost half of his blood through a hole where the artificial heart was stitched to his aorta, the artery that carries blood to the rest of the body. SCHROEDER LOST less than two pints of blood overnight, which Lansing said was normal for a patient recovering from open heart survery. Schroeder, a 52-year-old quality assurance specialist from Jasper, Ind., who was forced to retire because of ill health, was under sedation and breathing with the help of a respirator, Lansing said. Schroeder was being supported by a $40,000 console beside his bed, but doctors hope to be able to use an 11-pound, shoulder-carried device for a few hours at a time when Schroeder's condition improves. The por- table unit developed in West Germany will allow the patient to walk about. HIS WIFE OF 32 years, Margaret visited him there yesterday morning and held his hand. Doctors said Schroeder "seemed to recognize her." Schroeder was described by hospital officials as "very happy to see her husband." Schroeder remained in critical but stable condition, Lansing said. His kidneys and liver were behaving slightly abnormally, but Lansing said that was ex- pected after open heart surgery. The principal danger during the next week is that Schroeder might develop an infection, Lansing said. Officials misidentify two girls in accident (Continued from Page 1) said in a prepared statement that later "members of each family claimed the bodies, made identification and com- pleted the funeral arrangements." "WE HAVE evaluated our in- volvement in this event and have determined that our established procedures were followed," Hem said. Colleen Lake, Lake's mother, had been keeping vigil since the accident at the bedside of the girl she believed was her daughter. But when Noonan regained con- sciousness Saturday afternoon, she was quoted by Dr. B. Krysztofiak as saying, "No, I'm Patty, Patty, Patty." Lake's family initially declined comment, but later issued a statement saying the girlin the hospital bedhad extensive head injuries which made identification difficult. "Neither of the families were well acquainted, therefore neither had seen the other girl before," the statement said. "Both girls were the same size, similar build, same hair color and same age, making the identification doubly difficult." "I think it's very interesting that family members and other people did not notice," Krysztofiak said. "I am surprised it wasn't caught the first day or at least the first week." Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports GM to inspect 3 million cars WASHINGTON - General Motors Corp., heading off a possible gover- nment safety recall order, agreed yesterday to call in 3.1 million mid-sized cars for inspection to determine whether they have axles that might cause the rear wheels to separate. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been in- vestigating complaints about axle and wheel separation on some General Motors "A-body" mid-size cars for nearly three years and in April 1983 an- nounced an initial determination of a safety defect in the cars. NHTSA spokesman Dick Burdette said yesterday that the agency had received 1,063 reports of axles failing in the GM cars, including 264 in which wheels came off and 208 accidents involving 30 injuries. General Motors said it knew of 15 injuries and "about 200 incidents of axle separation." The cars covered under the program announced yesterday are the 1978 through 1980 Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Pontiac Le Mans, Pontiac Grand Prix, Oldsmobile Cutlass and Cutlass Supreme, Buick Cen- tury, Buick Regal, and two lines of trucks made from car chassies, the Chevrolet El Camino and the GMC Caballero. U.S., Iraq mend diplomatic ties WASHINGTON - The United States, seeking to widen its influence in the Arab world, resumed diplomatic relations with Iraq yesterday after a 17- year lapse. The move was announced immediately after President Reagan met for 35 minutes with Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz, the highest ranking Iraqi to visit here since the 1967 break. At the same time, the administration gave assurances that it was not en- dorsing Iraqi policies, intending to arm the Baghdad government or meaning any harm to Israel. "It has no effect on our relations with Israel, which continue to be stronger than ever," a senior U.S. official told repor- ters. Until 21/2 years ago, Iraq was listed by the United States as a country that supports terrorism. It broke relations to protest American support for Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War. "The step recognizes the importance of our holding productive discussions with an important state in the Middle East, where the interests of the United States and the Free World are significant," said the senior official, who in- sisted on anonymity. U.N. to hear Nicaraguan case THE HAGUE, Netherlands - Rejecting a Reagan administration move to keep its Central American policy out of the World Court, the international tribunal agreed yesterday to hear Nicaragua's complaint that the United States is sponsoring aggression against the Sandinista government. By its 15-1 vote to hear the case, the court decided against Washington's contention that Nicaragua was not eligible to come before, the court and rejected a U.S. bid to exempt itself from the court's authority. The court kept in force its emergency ruling of last May ordering the United States to cease military actions against the Sandinistas, pending final legal resolution of the case. The 258-page ruling yesterday opened the way to full hearings before the World Court panel on Nicaragua's complaints of U.S. aggression. Nicaragua termed the court's assumption of jurisdiction yesterday a "moral victory," and called on the United. States to abide by the court's rulings. India charges AP reporter with sedition for story on temple raid NEW DELHI, India - Brahma Chellaney, an Associated Press reporter, said the government charged him yesterday with sedition, a crime that carries a maximum sentence of life in prison and a fine. Chellaney is in Amritsar, Punjab, where he has been undergoing in- terrogation on previous charges related to his report in June describing the Indian army's attack on the Sikh holy temple there. Chellaney, who was interrogated for the fifth straight day yesterday said in a telephone call to New Delhi that he was informed of the new charge by of- ficial sources. The United News of India news agency also reported that a sedition charge had been filed. Chellaney, 27, an Indian citizen, had earlier been accused of maliciously inciting communal discord because of his AP dispatch. Arafat ousts seven opponents AMMAN, Jordan - The Palestinian parliament-in-exile, undeterred by the threat of an air attack, yesterday moved to expel seven pro-Syrian leaders from the Palestine Liberation Organization in a mounting purge of PLO chief Yasser Arafat's opponents. Arafat told the Palestine National council he had been informed of a plan- ned air raid on the Hussein sports complex, where the PNC has been meeting for five days. He did not identify the attackers or the source of the report. "There was an aircraft with bombs coming to destroy this council, and we asked the Jordanians for all the strict security measures you see," Arafat said. PNC delegates have been subjected to stringent security checks. Arafat's comments came after the PNC, the decision-making body of the eight-faction PLO, announced telegcams had been sent to seven rebel leaders in Damascus notifying them of pending proceedings to expel them. 14 A A 14 I Noonan .., regains consciousness Lake ... misidentified at scene 14 4 bt Mticigan B aiIV Vol. XCV - No.67 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967 X) is published Tuesday through Sunday during the Fall and Winter terms and Tuesday through Saturday during the Spring and Summer terms by students at the University of Michigan.
