Detecting the health risks of radiation
Radiation can cause both non-stochastic (cell-killing) effects, leading to burns, epilation, immune system damage and lens opacities, and mutational or stochastic effects due to low dose damage to single cells. If the latter are followed by clone formation or fertilization, the mutants are not recognized by the immune system, and there is no competing cause of death, cancer or leukaemia can result. These effects did not become public knowledge un…
A‐bomb survivors
Newly released data from the Radiation Effects Research Foundation on the survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki A-bombing allow a reassessment of radiation hazards. It appears that deaths from marrow damage (such as aplastic anaemia) continued after 1950. The Life Span Study cohort appears biased in favour of persons with high immunological competence, the result of infants and the elderly being more likely to die before 1950 than young adults.…

Non-cancer effects of exposure to A-bomb radiation
A slight rearrangement of the data included in a recent report from the Radiation Effects Research Foundation (RERF) has shown differences between cardiovascular and other non-malignant diseases of A-bomb survivors which probably result from two factors: selection effects of early infection deaths and residual effects of marrow damage. Both effects were dose related but neither was obvious becasue one reduced the risk of later infection deaths an…
Delayed effects of A-bomb radiation
A review of published data relating to A-bomb survivors has led to the conclusion that since they were based on the mortality experiences of five year survivors estimates of radiation effects should have been controlled for two opposing forces-namely, selective survival of exceptionally fit individuals during the period of heavy acute mortality and residual disabilities. Both effects were dose-related and beyond question, and the disabilities pro…
Radiation Hazards of Diagnostic X Rays
This thesis is an investigation of case morphology in a mixed language, Gurindji Kriol. Gurindji Kriol is spoken by the Gurindji people in northern Australia. It fuses Gurindji, which is a member of the Ngumpin-Yapa subgroup of the Pama-Nyungan family, with Kriol, which is an English-lexifier creole spoken across the north of Australia. Gurindji Kriol exhibits a structural split between the NP and VP systems, but is lexically quite mixed. Kriol p…
Social Medicine Studies based on Civilian Medical Board Records
Observations on 1,078 Perinatal Deaths
A cause of death is the morbid condition or other disease process, abnormality, or injury leading directly or indirectly to death ... From the standpoint of the prevention of deaths it is important to cut the chain of events or institute the cure at some point. The most effective public health objective, of course, is to prevent the precipitating cause from operating. For this purpose the most useful single statistic is that relating to the under…
Social Medicine Studies based on Civilian Medical Board Records
By the regular publication of statistics based on Census data and death certificates the General Register Office has kept the United Kingdom so well informed that even the man in the street is aware when mortality changes of a disquieting or reassuring nature have occurred. But nowadays, when disease more often causes loss of working efficiency than premature death, a more sensitive instrument than mortality statistics is needed to measure the pu…
Social Medicine Studies based on Civilian Medical Board Records
In a large sample of wartime Civilian Medical Board (C.M.B. passim) records it was found that 1 • 2 per cent, of the men examined were unfit for military service because of a peptic ulcer, and a fur0*25 per cent, because of other digestive disorders (Stewart, Webb, and Hewitt, 1955a). In addition to this loss of manpower at the screening stage there was a further heavy loss from the same causes among men accepted for military service : peptic ulc…
Social Medicine Studies based on Civilian Medical Board Records
In a recent symposium on "Modem Trends in Dermatology", first place was given to a paper stressing the relevance of ecological factors to diseases of the skin The conviction that such factors are important may nowadays be widespread, but there is still no statistical foundation for the belief. Mortality from caticer of the skin has been widely studied, but very little information is available concerning the prevalence of the less serious diseases…
Social Medicine Studies based on Civilian Medical Board Records
There were several reasons why it seemed appropriate to include in a study of the wartime records of Civilian Medical Boards a detailed analysis of varicose veins, varicocoeles, and haemorrhoids. These three types of abnormally distended veins are known to be common, but exactly how common they are and who is most likely to be affected are questions which have never been satisfactorily answered. Mild cases need no treatment, severe cases are noto…
