This technical report is the second of three reviews of promising research opportunities to improve the treatment of radiation injury in the soldier. Part I of this report reflects the opinions of an ad hoc study group. The report has been approved by the majority, not necessarily by all, of the participants. Part II is a critical review with an annotated evaluative bibliography. The scope of this study included: the use of physical dosimetry; early clinical manifestations of radiation-induced emesis; radiation-induced cytological changes in the testes; urinary constituents as predictors of radiation injury; hematologic changes; serum iron levels as indications of hemoatopoietic dysfunction or injury; etiocholanolone in estimating bone marrow granulocyte reserves; total protein-bound neutral hexoses in the plasma as related to radiation sensitivity; effects of radiation on detoxification enzymes, drug metabolism, and biochemical changes; and chromosome aberrations as indices of radiation injury. Consideration of therapy for a number of radiation casualties impose the priorities/ Reliable biological indicators of radiation injury would significantly simplify the triage of radiation causalities and would facility diagnosis,l treatment, and prognosis of individual causalities.

Zustand: Good. Presumed First Edition. Topics covered (among others) include Summary of the Report, Scope of the Study, Annotated Bibliographic Review of the Treatment of Radiation Injury, Review Discussions, Modified Physiology of the Irradiated Animal, Opportunistic Infections, Fundamental Problems in Transplant Immunology, Suggested Areas for Future Research, References cited in This Report, Appendix, and an Annotated Bibliography. This report on the immunologic aspects of radiation injury and therapy is based on a study that was conducted to explore new approaches to an understanding of the nature of the reactions to cells and body tissues to ionizing radiation, and to exploit this knowledge in the development of better methods to treat radiation injury in the soldier. wraps (some soiling and discoloration to covers).
