MDs Offer Hope -On Diabetes Cure By CARL MOLLINS TORONTO (CP)--Doctors and research scientists held out a bundle of hope Monday in de- scribing new approaches in the treatment of severe, often fatal, complications of diabetes. Reports presented at the fifth) congress of the International Diabetic Federation described experimental methods of com- batting such dangerous side ail- ments of diabetes as deteriora- tion of vision, blood circulation and kidneys. Some papers also suggested these complications may de- "velop in persons with inherited susceptibility to diabetes as well as in the possibly » people actually suffering from the disease due to deterioration of the insulin-producing pan- creas gland, Dr. P. R. Thornfeldt of the 180,000,000) Devers Memorial Eye Clinic in Portland, Ore., described "a new and most promising' ap- 'proach to stemming a typical diabetic disorder in which blood vessels proliferate in the eye to a point where the retina may \become detached. The treatment involves de- stroying th excess blood ves- sels by a process called photo- coagulation --#directing an in- tense light at the vessels. In treatment of more than 100 cases of various degrees of pro- igress during the last four years, Dr. Thornfeldt was able to de- stroy the complication in the early stages and limit damage in later stages. | DIFFERENT APPROACH | In The Netherlands, eye doc- tors A. J. Houtsmuller and H. E. Henkes of the Rotterdam Eye Clinic have been using a afferent approach to a similar problem, giving patients a tis- sue-building substance -- ana- bolic steroids--to prevent the breakdown and proliferation of blood vessels in the eye. The treatment was also found to reverse blood disturbances jassociated with diabetes. The doctors suggest early treatment by this method can help hold off diabetic complications. Still another approach was de- scribed by a team under Dr. J. H.

SAY FLAG THE HOLDUP The Conservatives are said to as firmly that the legislative items--except for the to days provited. the 'severe: 0 days ie govern- ment puts off further debate on the flag until Parliament re- sumes in the fall, The Conservative position ap- parently is based on the belief that if the government is granted interim spending au- thority for a three«nonth period and receives approval of its flag design, the temptation to ae election will be irresis- tible. i Both sides declare privately they won't budge. The end re- sult then would be no summer recess, frayed tempers and the prospect of great bitterness in the minority House all fall--al- ways an eection danger where the government cannot com- mand a majority of votes in the Commons, The Liberals are skeptical of the Conservative determination.
