Format is approximately 5.5 inches by 8.5 inches. 13, [3] pages. Footnotes. Bibliography. It is unusual to have a 'reprint, with additions' and have the page count go from about 5 pages to 13 pages (assumes same print and page size). Name (Donald J. Kimeldorf) and number stamped on front. Initials and notation also on front. Minor corner creasing noted. The syndrome of acute radiation injury to be considered in this article is the term applied to the symptom complex, or diseased state, which results from exposure of the whole body or a major portion of it to the initial nuclear radiation of an atomic bomb. This term should be clearly distinguished from irradiation sickness, which is commonly used to describe the symptom complex resulting from therapeutic irradiation. It should also be distinguished from surface radiation injury. This term is properly applied to injuries of the skin and subcutaneous tissues resulting from x-radiation or from contact or near contact with radioactive material, such as fission products and induced radioactivity. Injuries of this type related to atomic energy are due largely to beta-ray-emitting isotopes. Internal radiation injury may result from the selective deposition, such as in bone or thyroid, of radioactive material that has been inhaled or absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract or wounds. Kimeldorf was a major scientific leader. His book with Ed Hunt entitled "Ionizing radiation: Neural function and behavior" is a thorough description of the physiological and behavioral effects of exposure to ionizing radiation. Charles L. Dunham was born in Evanston, Illinois, in 1906 and graduated from Yale University (A.B. 1929), and the Rush Medical College of the University of Chicago (M.D. 1934). He had no contact with nuclear medicine until he joined the Atomic Energy Commission in the summer of 1949 as Assistant Chief of the Medical Branch. Among his responsibilities at the AEC was its program in cancer research and the program on peaceful uses of the atom in medicine and medical research. When not too preoccupied with fallout and radiation health problems, he used his position at the AEC to foster the development of nuclear medicine through the activities of the AEC medical laboratories and clinical facilities at Chicago, Oak Ridge, Brookhaven, Berkeley, and Los Angeles, and through its nation-wide re search contract program. The AEC has honored him with its Distinguished Service Medal. Eugene P. Cronkite, MD, was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1917. He decided to pursue medicine and was accepted to Stanford University's medical school. After receiving his medical degree, Dr. Cronkite joined the Navy and served as a medical corps lieutenant in World War II and as a director of the Naval Medical Research Institute in Maryland. He later left the Navy and began to study the effects of nuclear fallout. Among his subsequent achievements, Dr. Cronkite identified links between radiation exposure and cancer, developed a new treatment for leukemia, and founded the International Society for Experimental Hematology. In 1971 he was elected president of ASH. Dr. Le Roy was a consultant to the Atomic Energy Commission and at one time a member of the Advisory Committee on Medical Uses of Isotopes of the Division of Licensing and Regulation of the Atomic Energy Commission. Shields Warren (26 February 1898 - 1 July 1980) was an American pathologist. He was among the first to study the pathology of radioactive fallout. Reprinted, with additions, from The Journal of the American Medical Association, September 1, 1951, Vol. 147, pp. 50-54.…
