[A possibility to predict the severity of individual damage following the exposure to supralethal radiation dosage. Prediction of working capacity of irradiated rats and dogs by response to pre-exposure physical load].
The experiments on rats and dogs exposed to radiation doses which cause intestinal and cerebral forms of radiation sickness have shown that, within the first 24 hours post-exposure, efficiency impairment can be predicted by changes in some indices of the cardiovascular and endocrine systems after physical load used as a non-radiation testing agent. The goodness of fit of experimental data to the expected result is up to 50-70%, still rising if a number of indices for different sections of the neuroendocrine system are used at a time.
