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.

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.;

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. Enewetak corals survived in situ
