JOCDA ; ‘ (US Atomindex input); TIC (Technical Information Center). Country of Origin: United States Abstract: Some topics discussed are as follows: thyroid carcinoma in populations exposed to thermonuclear fallout in Japan and the Marshallese Islands; high frequency of prior head and neck irradiation in patients with thyroid carcinoma; nodular thyroid disease in patients following radiotherapy of tonsils and nasopharyngeal region; use of plasma thyroglobulin level and /sup 99m/Tc-pertechnetate for detecting thyroid carcinoma; analysis of risk factors and prediction of future occurrence of tumors; surgical procedures for thyroid carcinomas; and the role of thyroxine suppressive therapy.

Jokiel, Abstracts); TIC (Technical Ihformation temperatures of nearly 34/sup 0/C, whereas 32/sup 0/C was lethal to Hawaiian corals for similar short-term exposures. Laboratory determinations indicate that the upper thermal limits of Hawaiian corals are approximately 2/sup 0/C less than congeners from the tropical Pacific. Differences in coral thermal tolerances correspond to differences in the ambient temperature patterns between geographic areas.; Major Descriptors: *CORALS -- TEMPERATURE EFFECTS Descriptors: HAWAII; MARSHALL ISLANDS; TOLERANCE; TROPICAL REGIONS Broader Terms: ANIMALS; CNIDARIA; INVERTEBRATES; ISLANDS; NORTH AMERICA; USA; WESTERN REGION Subject Categories: 560204* -- Thermal Effects -- Invertebrates -- (-1987) IO004O0 TI Country of Origin: United States Abstract: Upper lethal temperature tolerances of reef corals in Hawaii and at Enewetak, Marshall Islands, were determined in the field and under controlled laboratory conditions.
