These are various images of a patient being treated with hyperthermia. Whole body hyperthermia is a method to raise a patient's body temperature for the treatment of advanced cancer. This technique is based on laboratory studies that show cancer cells are more sensitive to heat injury than normal cells. Physicians induce hyperthermia using a high-flow water suit controlled by a microprocessor, a machine which closely monitors body temperature. The patient's body temperature is raised by the insulated build-up of metabolic (body) heat, plus by the heat delivered by the warm-water suit. Credit: Mike Mitchell (photographer).

During 2000, commercial banks' holdings of excess cash and securities increased to 7.7 percent, rising by 4.1 percent, compared to a 4.7 percent decline during 1999. The build-up is attributable to sluggish private sector credit growth and significant private sector capital inflows. (references)

China

Tighter control of the banking system has also led to a build-up of inter-company "triangular" debt, estimated at around RMB 1.3 trillion in 1999. SOE inventories remain high, although the increase in inventories for the economy as a whole slowed from 15% per year in 1998 to less than 6% in 1999. This slowdown occurred as SOEs finally wrote off their stockpiles of unmarketable or low-quality goods. (references)
