  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.
