Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) 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.
