possibility of radiation hepatopathia,
The distinction between this and

Mr. Kuboyama contracted acute radiation from the Bikini devastation,
His hematopoietic functions were gradually recovering,
thanks to the careful and enthusiastic efforts of his doctors, when he
unfortunately succumbed to liver disfunction and pneumonia caused

This case
teaches us how a patient died from the Bikini radiation,
In conclusion,

our dvepssat appreciation to these rembers of the Investigation and
research Council who witnessed the autopsy all throuch the night; to
