Will You Be
Sick After
Operation?
Bv The Medical
Association of Georgia
Many people are concerned
about being nauseated and vo
miting after an operation.
Sometimes they worry about
this more than they do about
any other aspect of the opera
tion.
People usually think the type
of anesthetic used determines
whether they will get sick or
not. But this isn’t necessarily
so. Some people arrive in the
operating room nauseated and
I vomiting. Obviously the anes
' thetic couldn’t be the cause
of their trouble since it hasn’t
been given.
What are some of the reasons
i for nausea in a patient who
I hasn’t yet received an anes
thetic? Anxiety over the opera
tion might cause it. Usually a
| sedative is given the patient
before he goes to the operating
j room. But this may not sedate
him enough to keep him from
being so anxious he vomits.
If the patient’s stomach isn’t
empty he may retch or vomit
j as the anesthetic is begun. Use
!of rapidly acting anesthetic
drugs given by injection —
Pentothal is one — markedly
decreases the chance of this
happening. Slower acting anes
| thetics which the patient in
| hales are more likely to cause
1 this trouble.
Usually the patient’s stomach
। is empty when he gets to the
operating room. But if the
’ operation is an emergency
I procedure there may not be
time to empty it. If the patient
' is thought likely to vomit dur
‘ ing the administration of the
anesthetic, an endotrachael
tube can be inserted in his
windpipe beforehand. Should
the patient vomit, the tube will
keep him from strangling.
Once the patient is uncon
scious the chances of his vomit
ing are practically nil. Another
danger period occurs, however,
as he awakens and the endo
| trachael tube is being removed.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
Certain patients are more
likely to suffer from nausea
than others. This includes
those whose operations involve
the abdomen, especially the
bowel, and those whose opera
tions are long.
Patients who have had local,
regional or spinal anesthesia,
the danger of nausea and vo
miting in these patients is far
less than it is with patients
under general anesthesia who
are unconscious. Patients who
are conscious can remove the
contents from their mouths.
It is sometimes necessary or
advisable to keep a patient’s
stomach empty for a period
after the operation. This is of
ten the case with patients who
have had abdominal surgery. A
tube can be inserted through
the nose into the stomach and
contents of the stomach re
moved through it. Sometimes
the bowel stops working for a
while after abdominal surgery.
When this happens it is very
important for stomach contents
to be removed.
Many drugs to relieve nausea
and vomiting associated with
anesthesia and surgery are
available. While they do reduce
symptoms to some extent, more
effective drugs of this kind are
needed.
Foreign Pheasants
Tried in Georgia
Northwest Georgia is the
new home of several hundred
exotic experimental pheasants,
according to State Game and
Fish Director Fulton Lovell.
Lovell says the game man
agement division of the Game
and Fish Department is con
ducting a research project to
determine if these new varie
ties of pheasants can live and
breed successfully on their
own in Georgia.
The birds released in the
study are hybrids of two types,
the Japanese Green pheasant
and the Western Iranian Black
neck-Ringneck Cross pheasant.
Approximately 250 birds of
each type were released.
“Although previous stock
ings of Northern Ringneck
pheasants in Georgia have
failed, we hope that these new
varieties will succeed,” Lovell
said. “These birds have been
raised successfully in a wild
condition in other states with
terrain much like Georgia’s.
If this 3 year experiment suc
ceeds, then we will begin ex
tensive trapping and restocking
with hardy wild birds raised in
Georgia.”
Banding records are being
kept on each bird released.
Similar stockings will be made
during the next two years, and
information compiled. “The re
sult will spell out the future
of pheasants in Geo rg i a,” l
Lovell predicted.
“If this experiment is to
have any chance of success, we
must have the cooperation of
the citizens of Northwest Geor
gia in protecting these birds.”
Lovell appealed. Wildlife
rangers will also keep a close
eye on the birds to prevent
poaching, he added.
MORE IMPORTANT
Nail holding power — al
ways a major consideration in
the use of lumber — is now
more important than ever be- ‘
cause of the precision required i

High stress values and the ।

Forestry Outlook :"Super Trees"
In our preoccupation with
lumber as a building material,
we’re prone to forget it is the
offspring of a living tree.
And while advances in
manufacturing techniques have
improved the versatility and
usefulness of lumber, the
character of the parent organ
ism has an equally vital effect
on its quality and performance.
It was for this reason-as well
as to assure permanent timber
supply-that the practice of
forest management was initi
ated in the United States fifty
years ago by the Southern Pine
lumber industry.
A half century of extensive
forest management has brought
substantial improvement in the
South’s reservoir of forests. Ac
cording to U. S. Forest Service
Chief Edward P. Cliff, the pre
sent growth of Southern Pine
sawtimber “exceeds that of any
other species in the country.”
Os comparable significance is
the impact on quality. Chief
Cliff says the quality of the
modern tree crop is improving
“so much so, in fact, that it will
lead to many new and impro
ved uses of wood as a building
material.”
The primary purpose of for
-1 est management is to develop
5 timberlands on a sustained
> yield basis — meaning that
, harvest is never allowed to ex
; ceed the rate of growth. Meth
ods utilized — such as tree pro
tection, proper spacing, and the
> harvest of mature but not over
> ripe forest specimens — have
’ far reaching effect on the
quality of lumber.
A good clinical knowledge of
1 tree anatomy is basic to the

i Pioneer Americans
I Shunned Tomatoes
Americans love tomatoes —
fresh, canned, or in juice form.
For the past five years, their
■ annual consumption of fresh
। and canned tomatoes has avera
ged around 55 to 60 pounds per
person.
But early in the 19th century
Americans and most Europeans
ate few, if any, tomatoes. Itali
। ans, however, began growing
. and eating tomatoes around
. 1550 after Spanish explorers
. brought back tomatoes from
I i the Andes mountain region in
South America.
Early Americans and many
Europeans considered the to
mato poisonous. They grew to
matoes mainly as ornamental
plants.
The belief that tomatoes
were poisonous apparently
stemmed from the fact that the
plant is a member of the Night
shade family, of which some
species are poisonous.
Within the Nightshade fami
ly are such seemingly unrela
ted plants as tobacco, petunias,
potatoes, and the jimson weed.
Sturtevant in his “Notes on
Edible Plants”, says “.. .where
tomatoes were available in
pioneering America, only a few
hardy souls dared eat them.”
Among the earliest written
mention of tomatoes was that
by Matthiolus, of Italy, who in
1554 called them “pomi di oro”
—apples of gold. He was pro
bably referring to yellow to
matoes.
Although tomatoes are native
to the Americas, probably hav
ing originated in the Andes
mountain region of South
America it was only after thej 7
were widely used in other parts
of the world that they became
popular as a food in the United
States.
As late as the 17th century,
tomatoes were grown as orna
mentals in England. By the end
of the 18th century, they were
used extensively in Italy as
food, and a half-century later
Americans began eating them.
Botanically, the tomato is a
fruit but by cultivation and use
it qualifies as a vegetable. The
word “tomato” is a near twin
to the word “tomati” used by
the Indians of Mexico.
USDA says tomatoes are an
important source of vitamins,
especially vitamin C, not only
because of nutrients each to
mato contains, but because of
the quantity in which they are
eaten. Because of modern, fast
transportation from producing
areas, fresh tomatoes are now
available to American consum
ers nearly the year round.
Early summer commercial
production of tomatoes in the
' United States for fresh market
was estimated at 4.9 million
! hundredweight, and the late
: summer crop at 3 million hund-
I redweight.
Because of the output from j
i late summer commercial acre
age, plus production on family ■
gardens and market gardens

homemakers according to|
USDA’s Agricultural Market-1
ing Service, are finding toma

tics are important considera
tions for sawmill operators.
So are other factors of forest
life, such as moisture absorbed
through roots. Because trees
are so nourished, all freshly
cut lumber is literally satura
ted with water. As this moist
ure evaporates, wood cells con
tract and the lumber shrinks.
This loss of size is inevitable
regardless of species. To pre
vent it from happening after
lumber is in service, Southern
Pine grading standards require
proper drying and pre-shrink
ing before the material is sur
faced to final dimensions.
Seeking ever higher vistas of
forest management, modern
science is probing deeper into
the complexities of the tree
organism.
A future possiblity is more

procedures and genetics re
