METALBOLIC CHANGES IN HUMANS FOLLOWING TOTAL-BODY IRRADIATION.

Abstract

This report summarizes the data accumulated from fifty patients who have been given total or partial body irradiation at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center from February 1960 through April 1966. Psychological, hematological, metabolic, immunological and chromosomal findings are statistically analyzed and some implications concerning reduction in combat effectiveness of military personnel exposed to ionizing radiation are drawn.
