Orlando, FL: Academic Press, Inc., 1987. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xii, [2], 365, [5] pages. Illustrations. References. Index. Ex-library copy with usual markings. Some marking blacked out. This book represents the proceedings of the Second International Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Combined Injury and Trauma,, held at Wintergreen, Va. in February, 1985 that was edited by investigators from the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute, Bethesda, Md. The term "combined injury" refers to the effects of radiation, wounds, burns, and blunt trauma in various combinations often occurring acutely and simultaneously. Clearly, this is a topic of both historical and contemporary importance. Major gains in this area are reflected in the tremendous salvage of life and limb in Vietnam compared with World War I. More
