European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - June 17, 1980, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Pag18 the Tarsan stripes tuesday june 17, 1980 Hildern Medicine Loco �0oo since the 1940s, scientists have known that High Levels of radiation can cause leukaemia in adults. The most dramatic evidence come from Hiroshima where Many survivors of the 1945 nuclear blast later developed leukaemia. In act. The number of cases of leukaemia was highest among Thott who were closest to the Point where the bomb exploded. Another dramatic example of the leukaemia producing effects of radiation has appeared among adults who. As children were exposed to High Levels of radiation 20 to 40 Yean earlier while being treated for Bone disorders. While the link Between High level radiation and leukaemia is obvious a major Point of Contention is the effect of Low level radiation. Low level radiation includes such sources As diagnostic a rays which Are taken to pinpoint the cause of various illness and symptoms. Researchers disagree whether there is threshold level for the ability of radiation to cause leukaemia. Does any dose of radiation no matter How Low have the potential to cause leukaemia or is there a Point below which radiation is no longer dangerous and unable to cause leukaemia several studies in the past have attempted to answer this question. In two such inquiries adults with leukaemia were asked to record the number of diagnostic a rays they had receive during their lives. The results were matched against the records of men and women of the same age who did not have leukaemia. Both surveys found an association Between Low level diagnostic and leukaemia. A meticulous new study however has just been published from the Mayo clinic and shows no association Between diagnostic radiation and the subsequent development Ofle Kemia. Chis counts connection leukaemia Low radiation the study is important because it depends upon the unique characteristics of Olmstead county. Minn., where most residents receive care at either the Mayo clinic or a private medical group practice. Unlike most americans residents of Olmsted have the history of All their medical care including precise records of diagnostic a rays store Din two Well kept filing systems. A report published recently in the new England journal of Medicine by Mayo clinic researchers reported that 138 cases of leukaemia occurred Between 1955 and 1974 in Olmstead county. None of the 138 victims had More diagnostic a rays than the 276 other persons who were studied but who did not develop leukaemia. Unlike previous studies the Mayo clinic study relied not on patients recollections of previous a rays but on actual medical records. Almost the exact amount of radiation the leukaemia patients and their controls had received was  there Are of course some flaws in the Mayo clinic study for example the actual number of leukaemia patients was comparatively Small by research standards the study appears to be the most substantial inquiry so far. The researchers conclude we maintain that Low Levels of exposure to medical radiation most probably did not increase the risk of leukaemia in this  while not ending the debate about Low level radiation this study docs provide reassuring data for physicians am patients alike.
