[2], 224 pages. Bibliography. Ex-library stamp (Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute). Dr. Lushbaugh received his Ph.D. (Pathology 1942), and M.D. (Pathology Honors 1948) from the University of Chicago. He began his career as a pathology professor at the University of Chicago (1942-1949). From 1949 to 1963, Dr. Lushbaugh was a staff member in the Biomedical Research Group of the Health Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory and a pathologist at the Los Alamos Medical Center (LAMC). In 1963, Dr. Lushbaugh became Chief Scientist of the Medical and Health Sciences Division at Oak Ridge, where he led the Total Body Irradiation (TBI) Program, a position he held until 1975. From 1975 to 1984, Dr. Lushbaugh became Chairman of the Medical and Health Sciences Division at Oak Ridge and the Chief of Radiation Medicine. Dr. Lushbaugh has published on total body irradiation; the effect of nuclear accidents and procedures for nuclear accidents; the effects of isotopes; and radiation treatment. This report compiles in a somewhat abbreviated fashion the bulk of the radiobiologic studies carried out with joint (AEC) ERDA and NASA support during the years 1964 to 1974 at the Medical Division of Oak Ridge Associated Universities. The results demonstrate that change in pulmonary impedance waveforms closely parallel well-defined stages of GI distress. The Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies (ORINS) was established through the leadership of Dr. William Pollard (1911-1989), who built the support of both the federal government and 14 southern schools to earn a charter from the Tennessee Secretary of State. In 1951 ORINS assumed responsibility for the national administration of the Atomic Energy Commission-sponsored predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowship programs. There were 326 predoctoral fellows and 41 postdoctoral fellows appointed by the Fellowship Board. The organization has placed more than 5,000 students and faculty members annually into specialized education programs. Staple bound (front and rear covers creased, and torn, especially near staples).…
