Description/Abstract:
IN ORDER TO FAMILIARIZE THE MEDICAL PROFESSION WITH CURRENT CONCEPTS ABOUT THE DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF A RARE BUT INCREASINGLY FREQUENT CLINICAL ENTITY, THE ACUTE RADIATION SYNDROME, ALL PERTINENT RADIATION ACCIDENT CASES HAVE BEEN REVIEWED. CIRCUMSTANCES; DOSIMETRY; CLINICAL SIGNS, SYMPTOMS, AND COURSE; LABORATORY FINDINGS; AND THERAPY ARE CONSIDERED. ON THE BASIS OF THESE DATA, RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT ARE MADE TO AID IN CLINICAL MANAGEMENT, TO FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF IMPROVED DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES, AND TO INCREASE THE FUND OF BIOMEDICAL DATA FROM WHICH STEMS OUR UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN RADIATION INJURY.
