Karen Anson laughs. “I didn’t say anything,” she says, pointing at the monitor behind Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We’re doing an isotope scan, Hall,” says Dutton. “How the bugs get into the body. Thought you should watch it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I assume it was inhaled,” says Hall. “Not likely it’s absorbed through the skin.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“That’s what we’ll find out now,” says Dutton. “The mechanism of death.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A textbook page on screen discusses “UROKINASE I-131 LOCALIZATION OF ACUTE INTRAVASCULAR THROMBOSIS,” by J. Brunnell, G. Hobby, and R. Green, in the Journal of Human Investigation 3; 485, 1970. The study is about the clinical diagnosis of intravascular thrombus formation. Urokinase idodine-131 is introduced to three fibrin polymers, forming a connection at the center of the molecule when in solution. Urokinase<\/strong> is a thrombolytic drug, sometimes called a “clot-busting” drug. It helps the body produce a substance that dissolves unwanted blood clots. Urokinase<\/strong> is used to treat blood clots in the lungs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A label saying “NUCLEAR MAGNASCANNER” appears onscreen. A bowl-shaped mechanism appears above an immobilized rhesus monkey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A split-screen shows a milky fluid being injected into the monkey’s femoral artery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dutton brings up a monitor with several blocky, monkey-shaped diagrams on screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The dead mouse in its cage is dropped next to the monkey on the examination table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dutton’s back to killing more monkeys<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":735,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"http:\/\/www.andromedaminute.com\/cm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/as077.mp3","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"23:44","filesize":"22.25M","date_recorded":"21-10-2020","explicit":"","block":"","filesize_raw":"23335857"},"tags":[],"series":[4,11],"episode_featured_image":"http:\/\/www.andromedaminute.com\/cm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/as077.jpg","episode_player_image":"http:\/\/www.andromedaminute.com\/cm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/AndromedaCover1400.jpg","download_link":"http:\/\/www.andromedaminute.com\/cm\/podcast-download\/769\/minute-077-an-isotope-scan.mp3","player_link":"http:\/\/www.andromedaminute.com\/cm\/podcast-player\/769\/minute-077-an-isotope-scan.mp3","audio_player":"\n
