Jim,
This
is very interesting (after I was finally able to download and read the
pages.) I guess this shows that if you have enough time and resources you
can locate lots of arcane information like this. I will definitely put a
copy in my files of "old radiology stuff."
I
noticed that the doses were on the order of 150 r which is fairly low for
teletherapy. Considering the infection to be like a tumor, I would suspect
that as the infection was reduced and vascular flow returned, the infection
would not suffer from the anoxic conditions you see with tumor masses. It
would be interesting to have seen changes in immune response as the infectious
mass, for lack of a better term, was reduced. Once again, we see that
rapidly growing cells are more susceptible to ionizing radiation. And
thankful for the developments in antibiotic therapy.
So,
are you coming to the NCRP meeting?

John, All,
I retrieved a few of the papers from the med school library. I
put a few pages of one later and substantial summary of some work by Kelly in
Radiology 1941 on the web site as tif images (since the lo-res gif files
didn't seem to make it in a browser window). See:
Any comments are appreciated. Let me know if there are download
problems.
Regards, Jim

Jim,
I assume you have proof of this effect? Than
why do we not use it today?
(Please note that I do cut off extraneous
material rather than keep
recycling it and tying up bandwidth.)

In the
'20s low dose radiation (to a few hundred rad) stopped gangrene in
its
tracks, virtually eliminating amputations and death when not advanced
to
terminal conditions.
