Table 11 Residual Beta Burns Subject No. Sex Age Description 17 F 10 24 F 20 26 M 19 Slight scarring and pigmentation on left antecubital fossa. Mottled spots of pigmentation and depigmentation on dorsum of feet. Marked pmk-colored depigmented scars on dorsum ofright foot, particularly between Ist and 2nd toes. Skin tight in scarred areas - bound Figure 33.Pigmentedlesions in area of beta burn (Subject #78). A fewadults were also examined andtreated. As noted in the past, people of age >40 showa considerable amount of periodontoclasia. A few cases of arrested enamel development involving the occlusal surface of molar teeth were noted, probably due to faulty nutrition during the formative period of the teeth. No significant differences were found between the Rongelap children and children of the same age group on outlyingislands in caries rate, eruption time, or morphologyofthe teeth. It wasestimated that only about 10%of the Rongelap adults practiced good oral hygiene.

Pigmented maculae (freckle-like) on necklace area of neck, particularly on right side. Increasing in number? Mottled hyperkeratosis and pigment variation on back of neck. Considerable pigment variation on back of neck and to a slight degree on right forearm. Not seen this survey. Previously showed atrophy and scarring on dorsum offeet. Pigment variation and hyperkeratosis on back of neck. Raised pigmented mole-like lesions on sides of neck, particularly onleft side. Appear to be increasing in number (see Figure 33). White nodular scar and generalized scarring and pigmentvariation on back ofleft ear. Area of spottyalopecia on lower occipital region of head. rawdata on all individuals are presented in the appendices. The more heavily exposed Rongelap group, who received 175 r, are designated as ‘“Rongelap exposed,” the Rongelap people who received a smaller exposure of 69 r as ‘‘Ailingnae exposed,” and the larger unexposed comparison population of Rongelap as “unexposed.” Because of the small number of peopie in the Ailingnae group (15 examined of 18), their data were not treated as fullv as those for the larger groups, and are briefly summarized belowin a separate para- area are EA ee lin eevee aeane ”
