Two groups of mice were irradiated to 6-8 Gy.  One group was irradiated to 1

cGy

prior to 6-8 Gy irradiation (article did not indicate lapse time in between

two

irradiations). The other group of mice did not have previous exposure. The

group

which received 1 cGy prior to higher dose had significantly higher survival

rate.

. . .



How significant was the survival rate?  For how long did they follow the

experiment?  Was the adverse affect?  Cancer?  Life shortening?



These are the questions that need to be asked.
