European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - June 14, 1980, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 18 saturday june 14, 1980 leukaemia danger discounted in a rays Boston a the possible Hazard of soaking up Small doses of radiation Over Many years has Long worried medical experts but a new study concludes this kind of exposure does not significantly increase the risk of leukaemia. The research conducted at the Mayo clinic in Rochester minn., found that people who received relatively High amounts of medical x rays Over 20 years suffered no apparent ill effects. In the course of their study the doctors examined the radiation records of All 138 people known to have had leukaemia in Olmsted county minn., Between 1955 and 1974. And after comparing their doses with those of 276 heal thy people they could find no evidence linking radiation with tic disease. We re saying that even if we look at accumulations of a fairly substantial amount of diagnostic a Ray exposure it docs not seem to be related to any increase in the risk of leukaemia or. Leonard t. Kurland one of the research ers said in an interview. All the medical records in the county arc Kepi in a Central filing area. So the researchers were Able to figure out the total amount of medical radiation absorbed by Bolh the Luke Mia victims and the comparison group Over two decades. The study published in the new England journal of Medicine calculated the amount of radiation taken in by the people s Bone mar Row. Nine persons who received More than 300 rads of radiation during the period were excluded from the study because the Levels exceeded those being studied. A Rad is the Standard unit of measurement for absorbed radiation. A Milliard is a thousandth of a Rad. During a typical Chest a Ray a patient s Bone marrow absorbs 1.6 Milliards. It. A rays penetrate the body More readily than Many other types of radiation. No statistically significant increase was found in the risk of developing leukaemia after radiation doses of Zero to 300 rads to the Bone marrow when these amounts were administered in Small doses Over Long periods of time As in routine medical care the doctors wrote. Leukaemia a disease of the blood forming tissue of the Bone marrow is thought to be the most common form of cancer caused by High blasts of radiation. The american cancer society estimates that there will be 22,000 new cases of the disease this year in the United noted that some people Are so afraid of radiation that they refuse to have Ordinary diagnostic a rays. But he said Many of the people in the study received treatment at a time when doctors routinely gave patients much higher doses of radiation than a common now and they suffered no apparel ill effects. Drug Nife Cripi be used in Europe relieves pain of some angina Boston a a drug used in Europe can dramatically relieve the pain of a rare form of angina and researchers say the drug also May help prevent More common types of the Chest experts have found the drug Fedi Pine extremely effective in preventing the pain of variant angina a stubborn Chest pain caused by artery drug has a potent Long lasting anti spasm effect said or. Elliott Amman who directed the recent stops spasms by blocking the movement of Calcium ions into muscle cells in artery Walls. Those ions Are what cause the cells to contract the study headed by doctors at Peter Bent cleared for general use in the United states. Variant or Prinz metals angina is unique be cause it is known to be caused exclusively by artery spasms. Doctors once believed that All angina was caused by hardening of the arteries when deposits form on the arteries Walls and reduce the Supply of blood to the heart. The Lack of blood causes the pain. Doctors Are still not sure How Many angina victims suffer from spasms instead of or in addition to hardening of the arteries. But Braunwald one of the Boston research ers has estimated that the problems May affect 25 to 30 percent of heart patients. The researchers in Boston gave nixed Pine to 127 variant angina patients at medical centers around the country. For 87 percent of those ainu a Utu cd us uni Ilia air Ici Cucui Brigham Hospital in Boston was published in people he frequency of angina dropped at least the new England journal of Medicine.

Researchers Hope that nixed Pine May someday prove to be useful against this disease too.
