Clinical Aspects of Nuclear Medicine Lewis, W.H. Brookhaven National Lab., Upton, N.Y.; New York Publication Date: 1961 142-59 p. Publ: Westdeutscher Verlag Journal Announcement: NSA16 Document Type: Book Analytic and Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Language: English The late radiation effects resulting from the accidental event of radioactive fall-out in the MarshaI1l lslands in March 1954, during experiments on a thermonuclear device, are reported. The purpose of the article is to point out some of the complexities associated with a population study of this type, the approach to the problem, and the organiza tion and planning that are unique to this type of operation. Emphasis is placed on a detailed consideration of the cardiovascular findings five years after the accident for possible late effectsof radiation exposure. The group of Marshallese people studied did not show an unusual degree of cardiovascular disease. abnormalities present are described. The types of cardiovascular In an analysis of the amount of aging associated with arteriosclerosis, no changes different from those in more northerly situated people appeared. There were no significant differences in type and degree of cardiovascular abnormalities on comparison of exposed and control adult population groups. The exposure of this population to acute radiation from the fallout has not induced, according to clinical observations made 5 years after the exposure, new or unusual cardiovascular abnormalities. The exposed persons displayed less cardiovascular disease than a comparable control group of unexposed persons. (J.S.R.)
