SERIES TITLE Hardin Jones Files
INCLUSIVE DATES 1940 1978
ARRANGEMENT Author name
VOLUME 3 cubic feet
DESCRIPTION This series is composed primarily of article
reprints from the files of Hardin Jones, but it
also contains some correspondence, papers and
reports. The articles come from a number of
medical journals, mostly American, but European as
well. They pertain to a variety of medical
disciplines, but many are about experimental
procedures and radiology. Topics include
Laguna-Honda Hospital human studies and Donner
Clinic metabolic studies. Experiments located at
Laguna-Honda include a I131 uptake study, and an
electrolyte metabolism study in patients with
malignancies using Na24 and K42. The hospital
also studied leukemic children treated with
radiation, use of tagged substances in the study
of afferent arteries, and radiation to the
pituitary in cancer patients. In addition to
experiments with radiation, patients at
Laguna-Honda Hospital were used for experimental
drug and chemical therapies outlined in other
funding proposals in this file.
