Socialist Workers Party said in a
communique that “far from con
tributing to the construction of an
autonomous and democratic Basque
region, ETA is hindering the unity

The socialists, who were the top
vote-getting party in the Basque re
gion in June’s general elections,
said: “It is time to declare publicly
that the organization which cur
rently fcommits acts of violence has
no relation with the one that fought
the dictatorship.” The Basque
Communist Party said, “To banish
violence in the Basque region is a
necessary premise to advancing in
the conquest of democracy and na

political parties to condemn the kill

“Anonymity is as essential to a re

HOUSTON — Following future
drug prescriptions may become a bit
mbre complicated than just taking
so many pills so many times a day. It
could involve watching one’s watch.
The same could apply to taking
other kinds of treatment and possi
bly even to visiting the doctor or
hospital.
Dr. Michael Smolensky and col
leagues at the University of Texas
have been studying the idea that
medical care, especially drugs, can
be more effective at one very spe
cific time than at another because of
body rhythms.
Smolensky and Dr. John
McGovern, also of Texas, have pub
lished a book in the field entitled
“Chronobiology in Allergy and Im
munology. ”
“What were trying to determine
is the practical application of man’s
time structure in solving clinical
problems such as appropriately
managing diseases with
chemotherapy,” Smolensky said.
“We’ve been taught that the body
is relatively constant and what is
generally unrecognized is the prac
tical significance of biological
rhythms, the time structure, of the
body and its implication for diag
nosis and treatment.”
Smolensky said “wide variability”
in response to drugs or other treat
ment — depending on time of day,
week or month — applies as much
to males as to females, whose
menstrual cycle is the most obvious
example of chronobiology.
He said the value of more care
fully timed treatment, already
shown in limited areas of research,
is a two-pronged affair involving
risks and benefits.
Smolensky said Texas scientists
have conducted studies on asthma
tics, trying to determine the most
effective times to give them so-
called bronchial dilators, which
guarantee free breathing for a
period of time.
“We’re starting to look at the pos
sibility that there may be a need for
an unequal dosage, unequal inter
val, administration of drugs. In as
thmatics, for example, airways tend
to be in better shape during mid
day.
“The big push now is to use the
drugs already available for treating
cancer, for example, in a more effi
cient manner,” he said.
Other Texas tests will involve in
ducing cancerous tumors in mice
and experimenting with variable
time, variable dosage, treatment
with the goal of minimizing toxic
side effects while maximizing bene
fits of strong anti-cancer drugs.
Aside from drug-timing, or
chronopharmacology, Smolensky
said other changes in health care de
livery could arise from proving that
patient’s symptoms and response to
treatment vary according to time.
Most doctors, for example, see
patients only in the daytime and
their physical conditions can change
quite rapidly after the office closes
at 5 or 6,” he said.
I m not sure it would change his
work cycle, but it may change how
he operates with his patient as far as
th^ patient s bringing more informa
tion to the office, perhaps through
self-observation or his own health
screening. ”
