[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 hypobaric load].
In experiments on rats and dogs exposed to radiation doses which cause intestinal and cerebral forms of radiation sickness, hypobaric hypoxia used as an unconventional test of animals' reactivity has enabled the relationship between reactivity and radiosensitivity to be established. Higher post-radiation efficiency is observed in animals with less pronounced changes during a barotest. The goodness of fit of experimental data to the expected result is up to 70%, rising if a set parameters for one index or the sum total of indices are used.
