Bethesda, MD: Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute, 2003. Ephemera. Format is approximately 3.25 inches by 2.25 inches, with information on both sides. Illustrations and text have color. This is a card with emergency contact information. It has phone numbers for the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute Medical Radiobiology Advisory Team (MRAT), the Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site (REAC/TS), for a Chemical Incident--the National Response Center, and for a Biological incident--the Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases.

Bethesda, MD: Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute, c1998. Presumed First Edition, First issue thus. VHS Tape. 1 VHS/Videotape Cassette with Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) logo DU is not a health concern unless it enters the body. This VHS is not a numbered course lecture and appears to be supplementary material. It has the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFFRI) logo and the Medical Effects of Ionizing Radiation (MEIR) logo. Acting on the human body, the blast shock waves cause pressure waves through the tissues. These waves mostly damage junctions between tissues of different densities (bone and muscle) or the interface between tissue and air. Lungs and the abdominal cavity, which contain air, are particularly injured. The damage causes severe hemorrhaging or air embolisms, either of which can be rapidly fatal. The overpressure estimated to damage lungs is about 70 kPa. Some eardrums would probably rupture around 22 kPa (0.2 atm) and half would rupture between 90 and 130 kPa (0.9 to 1.2 atm). More

Psychological Reports, 1968. Xerox type reprint from Psychological Reports 1973, 33. Stapled at upper left corner. Pages[1], iii-iv, 24 pages. Figures. Tables. References. The name T. L. Pitchford was written on the front page, perhaps indicating authorship. Psychological Reports is a bimonthly peer-reviewed academic journal covering research in psychology and psychiatry. It was established by Robert and Carol H. Ammons in 1955. This study provides extensive data on a wide range of radiation dose levels applied to a statistically significant number of beagle dogs. From a military standpoint the results of this research are an important contribution to the data on the time and duration of incapacitation resulting from exposures to ionizing radiation. The fact that none of the beagle dogs used in these experiments sowed any early transient incapacitation (ETI) at any dose level illustrates the differences in response that must be considered in evaluating the data obtained from animal experiments. Animals exposed to 40 krads or more generally suffered complete incapacitation within minutes of irradiation and remained in that state until succumbed. The dose response data for man are expected to assume greater validity if they are based on experiments using a variety of experimental animals. More

Fort Lauderdale, FL: Quick Series Publishing, 2009. Third Edition [stated]. Spiral bound. Unpaginated (approximately 60 pages). Illustrations (color). Cover has slight wear and soiling. This is AFRRI Special Publication 03-1. Medical defense against radiological warfare is one of the least emphasized segments of modern medical education. Forty years of nuclear-doomsday predictions made any realistic preparation for radiation casualty management an untenable political consideration. The end of the Cold War has dramatically reduced the likelihood of strategic nuclear weapons use and thermonuclear war. Unfortunately, the proliferation of nuclear material and technology has made the acquisition and adversarial use of ionizing radiation weapons more probable than ever. In the modern era, military personnel and their nation's population will expect that a full range of medical modalities will be employed to decrease the morbidity and mortality from the use of these weapons. Fortunately, treatment of radiation casualties is both effective and practical. More

Bethesda, Maryland: Uniformed Services University, Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute, 2011. Presumed First Edition, first printing thus. Brochure. Brochure (measuring approximately 10.5 inches by 8.5 inches, folded in thirds). Printed on both sides. Ink notations and cross-outs on third page of the Agenda). This Symposium occurred on May 12-13, 2011. The pamphlet contains the agenda for Tuesday, May 12 (Session 1: Radiation Biology: The Science; Session 2: 'Omics for Radiation Biology; Session 3: Applied Radiation Biology: Platforms & Technology; Session 4: Artificial Intelligence and High-throughput Technologies for Radiation Biology; and for Wednesday May 13, Session 5: Technologies and Applications for Radiation Biology; Session 6: Technologies Blitz; and Session 7: Governing the Science of Tomorrow.) The Symposium Chair was Dr. Adrash Ramakumar. This symposium coincided with the 50th anniversary of the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute and there was a Steering Committee that coordinated the recognition of this half-century event. Dr. Ramakumar conceptualized, designed and conducted the 1st International RadioInformatics symposium in 2011 with more than 175 guest from all parts of the world. RadioInformatics; application of Bioinformatics to solve the needs of radiation biology was a direct product and conceptualization of my passion to bioinformatics and entrepreneurial spirits to push the boundaries of science with cross-platform technologies to address critical unanswered science.
