THE PATHOLOGICAL ANATOMY OF THE DEATH OF ANIMALS UNDER THE EFFECT OF BETATRON RAY OF 25 Mev (in Russian)
Experiments were performed on 20 adult guinea pigs irradiated by a betatron ray (25 Mev with intensity of 30 to 35 r/min, focal distance 35 cm) with the dose of 25,000 r. Irradiation was carried out at intervals of 15 to 20 minutes after each dose of 7,200 r. The death of the majority of animals took place during the last irradiation, after 21,600 r. The clinical picture of the affection was manifested by early and grave functional changes in the nervous system: short depression is quickly replaced by the increased excitation of the skeletal muscles, and by disturbances of respiration. The spastic condition of the gastrointestinal tract of certain sphincters and disturbances of hemodynamics develop at an early date. The leading role in the mechanism of death is played by the disturbance of the hemodynamics and, particularly, the anemization of the brain, which evidently causes an early disturbance of the function of the central nervous system.
