EXPERIMENTS IN THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF RADIATION SICKNESS IN CHICKS (in French)

Journal Article · · Intern. J. Appl. Radiation and Isotopes
The prophylaxis and cure of radiation sickness in chicks were studied following exposure to a total dose of 2000 r x radiation. Most of the deaths occurred within 48 hours. Two phases of lethality, one rapid and the other delayed, were observed. The protective effects of a number of chemicals were tested. A slight protective effect was demonstrated for sodium diethyldithiocarbamate and trytamine. Serious functional and metabolic disturbances were manifest quickly. Of a number of antihistsmines tried, only Neoantergan was effective when administered prophylactically. (C.H.)
