Bethesda, Maryland: Naval Medical Research Institute, National Naval Medical Center, 8 March 1948. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Staple bound wraps. [4], 10, [1]. and 10 tables and 19 figures for a total of 44 pages, counting the covers. . References. Eugene P. Cronkite, MD, 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. The clinical manifestations of acute ionizing radiation illness in the goat [Greatest of All Test-subjects?] are described. The severity of the illness and the rate at which it progresses are functions of the amount of radiation received. The fully-developed illness consists of apathy, anorexia, diarrhea (often bloody), purpura, epilation, marked leukopenia, and a high mortality. However, many signs may be absent with overwhelming or sublethal radiation. The therapeutic use of penicillin and transfusions suggest that these agents may be of value. A substantial amount of specific data is presented in the tables and figures. More
