The impact of natural radioactivity from a coal-fired power plant.

In a coal-fired power station burning coal which contained between 14--100 ppm U, 210Pb was detected in the urine of an exposed group of individuals. Chromosome aberrations (complex, numerical and the percentage of total aberrations) were also registered.

Genetic effect of low doses of radiation in occupationally exposed workers in coal mines and in coal fired plants.

Analyses of structural aberrations of chromosomes and of the body burden of lead-210 were carried out in a group of workers occupationally exposed to chemical pollutants and low doses of ionizing radiation during a technological process in which coal is used as fuel. A parallel study was performed in a control group of workers. In the exposed group the percentage of chromatid and chromosome aberrations and the results of radiochemical analyses were higher than in the control group.

Psychiatric treatment in severe brain injury: a case report.

A patient with severe, penetrating brain injury is presented. The patient was in psychiatric treatment for four years, starting two months after the injury; psychological tests were administered four times. By most criteria, the patient recovered completely. The case confirmed earlier observations that intelligence measured by verbal subtests, recovers faster than that measured by performance subtests. The latter continued to improve during the two to four year period after injury. The case clearly indicates the emotional and psychological problems that arise in the presence of severe brain damage. These reactions may hamper rehabilitation, although the gross psychological disabilities caused by the brain injury have improved. It is suggested, therefore, that brain damaged patients should receive psychiatric treatment. Some of the problems of such psychotherapeutic treatment are briefly discussed.

Hemiagenesis of the thyroid.

Congenital absence of a lobe of the thyroid gland is discussed and the literature is reviewed. Sixty-six cases have been gathered from the literature in approximately the past 100 years, and another six have been documented. Although no particular explanation has been forthcoming for the development of this anomaly, left lobe aplasia and predominance of occurrence in women have been noted. A variety of other thyroidal abnormalities have coexisted with hemiagenesis.
