Biological Effects of Blast. Technical Progress Report

Description: The current state of knowledge relevant to biological blast effects was summarized in a selective manner. Initially, five problems of concern to those who would relate the environmental variations produced by nuclear weapons with biological response and hazard assessment were pointed out. Primary, secondary, tertiary, and miscellaneous blast effects were defined and selected interspecies experimental data of a physical and pathophysiological nature useful in estimating human response were prese… more

Positron Scanner for Brain Tumors

Description: It was thought that if a multi-detector device could be developed, the scanning time would be greatly shortened, with such consequent advantages as being able to work with lower dose of radiation, to obtain serial determinations, and to work with shorter-lived isotopes.

Lymphocyte Production Measured by Extracorporeal Irradiation, Cannulation and Labeling Techniques

Description: The labeling of newly-formed lymph cells with tritiated thymidine, lymphatic duct cannulation, and the peripheral destruction of lymphocytes by extracorporeal irradiation of the blood were used to estimate the mass of prestored lymphocytes and the relative degree of recirculation of 1ymphocytes from blood to lymph and back again. Topics discussed include the effects of extiacorporeal irradiation on the histologic picture of the lymphoreticular tissue, the influence of extracorporeal irradiation… more

Radiobiological Basis for the Whole Body Radiation Syndrome

Description: Data are presented that show a marked species difference in the degree of damage and in the course of events seen in the bone marrow and peripheral blood after a given dose of radiation. The data taken together indicate strongly, but do not prove, that the picture seen results primarily from damage to the stem cell population. This damage to the stem cells is manifested later in the more mature differentiating cells of the marrow, and in the peripheral blood. The picture seen results both from … more

Colloidal Radioalbumin Aggregates for Organ Scanning

Description: Colloidal aggregates (10 to 20 m mu ) of human serum albumin /sup 131/I may be used safely by intravenous injection to perform photoscans of the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and salivary glands in man. Large particle size suspensions (10 to 50 mu ) of the same material were investigated experimentally in animals for scanning the lungs after intravenous injection and the brain following injection into an internal carotid artery. The advantages of this test material are the relatively low radia… more

Calcium Turnover Studies in Man

Description: Methods for determination of calcium turnover in man with radioisotopes are presented and the clinical use of various techniques is evaluated. In the discussion of kinetic analyses, some important observations were made. The accretion rate calculation can be made independent of the number of compartments in the exchangeable calcium pool, and thus is not distorted by approximate estimations of this pool. However, if the exchangeable calcium pool is calculated with the isotope dilution technique,… more

Growth and Movement of Smallmouth Buffalo, Ictiobus Bubalus (Rafinesque), in Watts Bar Reservoir, Tennessee

Description: The smallmouth buffalo fish, Ictiobus bubalus (Rafinesque), population of Watts Bar Reservoir, of the Tennessee River down stream from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, was investigated in order to describe its age distribution, growth rates, dispersion, and importance as an accumulator of radionuclides. Measurements and scale samples were taken from commercially-caught fish and fish caught in the ORNL tagging operations. Scale impressions were anaiyzed for age and growth phenomena. Dispersion of … more
