SERIES  NOTE

Current Bibliographies in Medicine (CBM) is a continuation in part
of the National Library of Medicine's Literature Search Series,
which ceased in 1987 with No. 87-15.  In 1989 it also subsumed the
Specialized Bibliography Series.  Each bibliography in the new
series covers a distinct subject area of biomedicine and is usually
intended to fulfill a current awareness function.  Citations are
usually derived from searching a variety of online databases.  NLM
databases utilized include MEDLINE, AVLINE, BIOETHICSLINE,
CANCERLIT, CATLINE, HEALTH, POPLINE and TOXLINE.  The only
criterion for the inclusion of a particular published work is its
relevance to the topic being presented; the format, ownership, or
location of the material is not considered.

Comments and suggestions on this series may be addressed to:

WHOLE-BODY IRRADIATION

A literature search was performed to identify all English language
publications from 1944 - 1974 possibly involving whole-body
irradiation.  A review of this literature was then made by the
Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments and experiments
were categorized into human, animal, instrumentation, and theory. 
All of the publications which involved whole-body  irradiation of
humans, reports of accidents and therapy as well as experiments,
were then compiled into this bibliography.

By executive order on January 18, 1994 the Advisory Committee on
Human Radiation Experiments was established by President William J.
Clinton.  The function of this committee as decreed by the order
was to provide the established Human Radiation Interagency Working
Group with advice and recommendations on the ethical and scientific
standards applicable to human radiation experiments carried out or
sponsored by the United States Government.

As stated by the order, human radiation experiments means:

1. Experiments on individuals involving intentional exposure to
ionizing radiation.  This category does not include common and
routine clinical practices, such as established diagnosis and
treatment methods involving incidental exposures to ionizing
radiation.

2. Experiments involving intentional environmental releases of
radiation that (a) were designed to test human health effects of
ionizing radiation; or (b) were designed to test the extent of
human exposure to ionizing radiation.

The Advisory Committee would like to thank the staff of the Public
Services Division of the National Library of Medicine who assisted
with this compilation.





SEARCH  STRATEGY

This bibliography was prepared for a retrospective look at the
field of human radiation experiments covering the years 1944 -
1974. 

The literature for the period of 1944 - 1965 was obtained by
manually reviewing the subject indexes of volumes of Cumulated
Index Medicus, Quarterly Cumulative Index Medicus, and Current List
of Medical Literature.  Amongst the terms searched for this
bibliography were any terms beginning with radiation,
radioactivity, radionuclide, radiotherapy, radium, or roentgen;
also searched were radiography, radioautography, cesium, cesium
isotopes, cobalt, or cobalt isotopes.  Articles in English possibly
dealing with this subject and not specific to animal studies were
marked for review by staff of the Advisory Committee.  

For the period of 1966 - 1974, the backfiles of MEDLINE were
searched using a text-word strategy and limiting the results to
human and English language.  Words searched included whole or total
or entire with body and all irradiat: or all radiat:, or the
acronym tbi.  The bibliography produced by this strategy was then
reviewed by  staff of the Advisory Committee.

For more current literature on this topic, the MeSH term Whole Body
Irradiation was used from 1982-1990, and since 1991 the term has
been  Whole-Body Irradiation.  If searching online, Whole-Body
Irradiation should be used to search from 1982 to the present.  





GRATEFUL  MED

To make online searching easier and more efficient, the Library
offers GRATEFUL MED, microcomputer-based software that provides a
user-friendly interface to most NLM databases.  This software was
specifically developed for health professionals and features
multiple choice menus and "fill in the blank" screens for easy
search preparation.  GRATEFUL MED runs on an IBM PC (or
IBM-compatible) with DOS 2.0 or a Macintosh, and requires a Hayes
(or Hayes-compatible) modem.  It may be purchased from the National
Technical Information Service in Springfield, Virginia, for $29.95
(plus $3.00 per order for shipping).  For your convenience, an
order blank has been enclosed at the back of this bibliography.
