In fact, it took a team of specialists, months of planning and more than $500,000 worth of products made from pigs, cows and hamsters. " We see a lot of complicated cases at Children's Hospital;' cardiac surgeon Peter Manning told The Cincinnati Enquirer for a story Wednesday. "But if I see rwo or three cases like this in a lifetime, I'd be surpnsed." Cortez, of Dayton, had an infection that started about five years ago that ate one of his heart valves and swelled his heart to nearly three rimes its normal size. Without open heart surgery. he would die But there was a complication: Cortez has hemophilia, a condition affecting about 1 in 10,000 Americans whose blood does not have the normal abtlity to form clots. Even worse, he has a type of hemophilia found in about 10 percent to 15 percent of all cases m whi ch the body produces antibodies to the blood-clotting factors intended to help him heal. ' Cortez' mother, Yolanda DeLeon , told the newspaper that surgery had t6 be done, even with the nsks. ".I t was a reaUy scary thing, but It was something that had to be done," she said.

DAYTON (AP) - Workers who filed a radiation-exposure lawsuit now want a court to order better safety momtoring at a former nuclear weapons plant, after Department of Energy contractors aUegedly tgnored worker health data. An attorney for the workers has asked U.S. Dtstnct Court to appmnt someone to oversee the health and safety program at Mound nuclear weapons plant. The request comes after DOE offietals satd Friday that they found 127 urine samples dating back to 1995 that were never analyzed to determme the radiation exposure of workers. "Somebody needs to take control of the situation and the DOE has shown an inability to do it," Reuben Guttlnan, an attorney who filed the lawsuit on behalf of the workers, said Tuesday.

In fact, it took a team of specialists, months of planning and more than $500,000 worth of products made from pigs, cows and hamsters. " We see a lot of complicated cases at Children's Hospital;' cardiac surgeon Peter Manning told The Cincinnati Enquirer for a story Wednesday. "But if I see rwo or three cases like this in a lifetime, I'd be surpnsed." Cortez, of Dayton, had an infection that started about five years ago that ate one of his heart valves and swelled his heart to nearly three rimes its normal size. Without open heart surgery. he would die But there was a complication: Cortez has hemophilia, a condition affecting about 1 in 10,000 Americans whose blood does not have the normal abtlity to form clots. Even worse, he has a type of hemophilia found in about 10 percent to 15 percent of all cases m whi ch the body produces antibodies to the blood-clotting factors intended to help him heal. ' Cortez' mother, Yolanda DeLeon , told the newspaper that surgery had t6 be done, even with the nsks. ".I t was a reaUy scary thing, but It was something that had to be done," she said.

The remaining unimmunized children remain susceptible to these infectious diseases. This not only poses a health risk to the child, but it also makes it possible, if they should get · the . illness, for them to spread the infection to others who have not be immunized. The current recommendations for immuniza;ions that have been approved for the United States are as follows: By the time a child is 18 months old, he or she should have had a series of three Hepatitis B shots. The series of four diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTaP) immunizations should be completed by then, too. Polio immunization is a series of three shots, and this is a change as of July 1999 from the previous use of oral polio vaccine. Chickenpox, that is abo called varicella, requires one shot as do the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) immuniza\ion. Between the ages of 4 and 6, when the child enters school, booster shots for DTaP, polio and MMR are needed. Between ages 11 -12 booster does of tetanus and diphtheria are needed, and subsequent boosters are needed every I 0 years thereafter. Additi onal shots of MMR and varicella may be needed depending upon when the first series was completed. So check your children's immunization record before sc hool starts.' Now is the time to get their shots up to dare. And while you're at it, check you own . Have you had a tetanus and diphtheria booster in the last 10 years? And don't forget to get your annual influenza shot in the fall and a pneumonia immunization if you are over 64 or have respiratory problems. The old , adage is certainly true. An ounce - or, in this case, shot - of prevention is better than a pound of cure. I' 111 ~oing to do something different for this week's c olumn. Instead of responding to a readers question.

The remaining unimmunized children remain susceptible to these infectious diseases. This not only poses a health risk to the child, but it also makes it possible, if they should get · the . illness, for them to spread the infection to others who have not be immunized. The current recommendations for immuniza;ions that have been approved for the United States are as follows: By the time a child is 18 months old, he or she should have had a series of three Hepatitis B shots. The series of four diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTaP) immunizations should be completed by then, too. Polio immunization is a series of three shots, and this is a change as of July 1999 from the previous use of oral polio vaccine. Chickenpox, that is abo called varicella, requires one shot as do the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) immuniza\ion. Between the ages of 4 and 6, when the child enters school, booster shots for DTaP, polio and MMR are needed. Between ages 11 -12 booster does of tetanus and diphtheria are needed, and subsequent boosters are needed every I 0 years thereafter. Additi onal shots of MMR and varicella may be needed depending upon when the first series was completed. So check your children's immunization record before sc hool starts.' Now is the time to get their shots up to dare. And while you're at it, check you own . Have you had a tetanus and diphtheria booster in the last 10 years? And don't forget to get your annual influenza shot in the fall and a pneumonia immunization if you are over 64 or have respiratory problems. The old , adage is certainly true. An ounce - or, in this case, shot - of prevention is better than a pound of cure. I' 111 ~oing to do something different for this week's c olumn. Instead of responding to a readers question. I am going to share wi th you information about immunizations. This is prompted, in part , from a rece nt tnemo for phySJcta n s licen sed in Mi c higan re minding us to immunize our patients prior to the start of the sc hool year. (Confused? I now live and procri ce in Ohio, but I still maintain my license in severo! states. including Michigan.) First. I want to remind you of the benefits of immunizations for both _children and adults. lnfec.. tto us diseases are a major cause of p reve ntable loss oflife throughout the world. Since most of these deaths arc in developing countries. they are re moved fron1 our cbi ly thoughts. l:lut, on an inter~ national scale, th e carnage from infectious diseases is hu ge. For i n ~ tance, more t}:tan a million individuals die each year from te tanus alo m:. Co untless numbers oi children dte from diphtheria, influenza and other vaccine prcvc nroblc diseases. T he real tragedy is that the vast majority of these ckiths could have been prevented by an ag:gress1ve worldwide immu ni za tion progra m. Fo rtun ately. solid immunizat ion poli c ies are already in place tn our country.

(AP) -Authorities have issued a warrant for the arrest of a man who won the $65 .4 million Powerballlottery jackpot last month. Mack Metcalf, 42, a forklift operator from Florence, did not show up in court Tuesday to face charges of drunken driving, driving without a license and leaving the scene of an accident. Police say Metcalf hit a parked car several times in the parking lot of the Florence Mall last month. Metcalf won the July 22 Powerball drawing. He chose the $34.1 million lump-sum cash option. State lottery officials were about to clear him to receive his winnings when the Kenton County morney's .office called to inform them that Metcalf had been behind on child support payments since 1986. A judge ordered Metcalf to pay $880,000 to a fund for future support because he already owed at least $31,000. Finn takes back baby walken WASHINGTON (AP) -A Massachusetts company is recalling about 170,000 car-shaped baby walkers because babies could damage their teeth on the steering wheels and choke on small parts. Safety 1st Inc., of Canton, Mass., has received eight reports of babies catching their teeth in parts of the three-spoke steering wheels with six babies losing lower fronc teeth, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Tuesday. The company also received 44 reports of a button loosening or breaking off from the walker's attached toy telephone; one 6month-old girl gagged on a button. The recalled Mobile "4 Wheelin"Walker, intended for babies 6 months old until they begin to walk, has a green body and includes a three-spoke steering wheel with squeaking horn, clicking keys, two rearview mirrors and a ringing phone. The recalled models are 45701 , 45701A and 45701B. The model numbers are written underneath the walker tny, and writing under the body includes "Made in the U.S.A." and " Safety 1st, Inc." Mass merchandise, juvenile products and major discount department stores nationwide sold the walkers from April 1998 through April 1999 for about $50. The safe_ty commission ad'llises;-consumer&r to stop using these walkers immediately. To receive a free, replacement steering wheel and electronic telephone with installation instructions, consumers can call Safety 1st at 1-800-964-8489 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. EDT Monday through Friday. Boeing works on settlements SEATTLE (AP) - Boeing Co. is working to settle the 224 lawsuits filed against the company after the crash ofTWA Flight 800 four years ago. Boeing spokeswoman Elizabeth Verdier said Tuesday the company has settled 52 of the lawsuits and is working on the other 172. Verdier said a judge's ruling in May allowed Boeing to obtain more information on the 230 victims, which it used to begin making offers. -Lee Kreindler, senior partner of the New York law firm that represents a number of the plaintiffs, said the company has been coope(ative. Neither Boeing nor Kreindler would say how much the settlements are for, though Kreindler confirmed an earlier report that some settlements were in the mid-seven figures . TWA Flight 800, a Boeing 7 47 bound for Paris, crashed into the ocean off Long Island on July 17, 1996. Investigators suspect that fuel vapors in the central fuel tank were overheated by the plane's air conditioning system, which had been running for two hours on the ground before takeoff. It is believed an errant spark ignited the fumes, causing the massive explosion. I Gunman gets life sentence· HONOLULU (AP) - A Xerox employee who gunned down seven co-workers was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison without parole. Byran Uyesugi was convicted in J une of fatally shooting the seven men and trying to kill an eighth, an attack Deputy Prosecuto" Chris Van Marter described as "the ex~cutio n of seven unarmed, good hard-working men." Uyesugi was also sentenced to life with parole by Circuit Judge Marie Milks for the attempted murder of the eighth man .The judge also ordered Uyesugi to pay $70,000 restitutio n to the victims' families. His left hand rubbing his chin, Uyesugi appeared not to pay attention as victims' family members spoke of their pain and suffering since the November slayings.

It's been nine months and I still don't know how to pick up the pieces." Uyesugi declined to speak in court. Hawaii has no death penalty. and .defense attorney Jerel Fonseo said he's not sure whether that would have been a deterrent.

Wednesday was the fourth day without , a contract, the cause of the rancorous walkout. The talks adjourned late Tuesday night with no evidence of progress, and more than 87,200 workers remained off the job, slowing down repair orders, installations and requests for directory assistance. In New York, a judge issued a temporary restrammg order against strikers after hearing that the company's supervisory workers had been threatened and assaulted. The judge ordered picketers to stay at least 10 feet from Verizon's worksites and buildings.

"We feel that a lot of times they're blaming .service problems on vandalism because they don't have the manpower. For them to say it's over acts of van. dalism, it's ridiculous." Welker said he had heard re!Yorts that managers were being yelled at by strikers. ''I'm not going to deny that - we still have free speech;' he said. The company did not attribute the vandalism to unions, but said indications o( union responsibility were more dear in situations where managers tried to enter facilities and had rocks, bottles and eggs thrown at them. HAMILTON, Mont. (AP) Even as fire crews made progress across the West, vast blazes in western Montana forced more evacuations and sent smoke streaming into South Dakota, more than 500 miles away. There are now some 200,000 charred acres in the Bitterroot Valley, stretching south from Missoula to the Idaho line. Ravalli County Sheriff Perry Johnson estimated 500 to 800 dwellings have been evacuated in the scenic valley and at least 52 houses have burned so far. Hundreds waited for word about their homes. "This thing is so powerful you just feel helpless;· Judy Greene, 67, said Tuesday as she sat in Darby's Montana Cafe picking at breakfast. She said there weren't enough · firefighters to protect her family's property. 'Tm sure they're doing the best -they can, but their resources are stretched to the limit;' she said. "You can't expect them to do the impossible." • Evacuations were ordered Tuesday evening miles from here, south of Helena, where Jefferson " City was threatened by a b,OOOacre fire. The order affected approximately 180 homes. With the forecast calling for mote dry, hot weather with gusty winds and the potential for lightning-packed storms, Gov. Marc Racicot was expected to soon restrict access to public land. Early Wednesday, logging and campfires were bann ed in eight southwestern Montana counties. More than 20,000 civilian and military firefighters are battling fires across the cou ntry, with the West particularly hard hit.The fire season is being called the worst in 50 years, with more than 4.1 million acres burned as ofWednesday. Progress was reported against fires in California, Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona on Tuesday. but there was bad news elsewhere. Washi ngton Gov. Gary Locke declared a state of emergency due to a high fire danger and a shortage of firefighters. As many as 500 National Guard members will be trained to fight fires. In Oregon, measurements of fire danger were the worst in 30 years. Firestone to recall tires implicated in fatal accidents DETROIT (AP) Bridgestone/Firestone Inc. was expected to announce Wednesday a recall nf some 20 million tires for light trucks and sport utility vehicles that have been implicated in more than 45 deaths. The Firestone ATX, ATX II and Wilderness AT tires are used mostly on Ford Explorers - the industry's top-selling SUV - but the recall will include tires on other brands of vehicles. a source familiar with the company's decision said Tuesday. The exact number of tires affected wasn't known but was believed to be approaching 20 million, the source said. Bridgestone/Firestone would not confirm _the recall, but a spokeswoman said a news confere nce was scheduled Wednesday; Ford Motor Co. officials were expected to attend. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has received 270 complaints, including reports of 46 deaths and 80 injuries, about failing Firestone tru ck tires. The complaints allege that Firestone tires peel off their casings, sometimes while the vehicles are traveling at high speeds, The mounting safety concerns have prompted Discount Tire, M ontgomery Ward and Sears Roebuck and Co. to stop selling the tires . Most of the accidents reported to NHTSA came from states in warm climates, where heat ca n affect tire tread bbnding and may be associated with an increased rate of tread separation. Ford has already replaced Firestone tires for free on vehicles sold in Venezuela, Ecuador, Thailand, Malaysia, Colombia and Saudi Arabia after tires failed in those cou ntries. The company resisted pressure to do •o in the United States, saying the matter was under investigation. Inside: .

Boeing spokeswoman Elizabeth Verdier said Tuesday the company has settled 52 of the lawsuits and is working on the other 172.

The Firestone ATX, ATX II and Wilderness AT tires are used mostly on Ford Explorers - the industry's top-selling SUV - but the recall will include tires on other brands of vehicles. a source familiar with the company's decision said Tuesday. The exact number of tires affected wasn't known but was believed to be approaching 20 million, the source said.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has received 270 complaints, including reports of 46 deaths and 80 injuries, about failing Firestone tru ck tires. The complaints allege that Firestone tires peel off their casings, sometimes while the vehicles are traveling at high speeds, The mounting safety concerns have prompted Discount Tire, M ontgomery Ward and Sears Roebuck and Co. to stop selling the tires . Most of the accidents reported to NHTSA came from states in warm climates, where heat ca n affect tire tread bbnding and may be associated with an increased rate of tread separation. Ford has already replaced Firestone tires for free on vehicles sold in Venezuela, Ecuador, Thailand, Malaysia, Colombia and Saudi Arabia after tires failed in those cou ntries.
