Serving Medicine pdf
Description

Since 1945, medicine evolved from the world of the highly regarded general practitioner to the highly technical, sometimes impersonal, world of the specialist. As a result of this change, the Nevada State Medical Association (NSMA) competed with specialty organizations and worked to maintain its position representing Nevada's physicians. After World War II, there were less than 50 medical doctors in the state, and they were concentrated in Reno, Carson City, and Elko. By 2001 there were approximately 3,000 practicing in Nevada, and the majority were in Las Vegas. Although physicians are not required to join the NSMA, it lobbies for and represents their interests. Serving Medicine recounts the political endeavors and efforts of the NSMA from 1875 when its predecessor, the Nevada State Medical Society, was established, until 2001. The primary focus of the book is on the interviews of twenty past presidents of the organization with emphasis on the political highlights of their terms.

Exposure of the American People to Iodine-131 from Nevada Nuclear-Bomb Tests pdf
Description

In 1997, after more than a decade of research, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) released a report which provided their assessment of radiation exposures that Americans may have received from radioactive iodine released from the atomic bomb tests conducted in Nevada during the 1950s and early 1960s. This book provides an evaluation of the soundness of the methodology used by the NCI study to estimate: past radiation doses; possible health consequences of exposure to iodine-131; implications for clinical practice; and possible public health strategies - such as systematic screening for thyroid cancer - to respond to the exposures. In addition, the book provides an evaluation of the NCI estimates of the number of thyroid cancers that might result from the nuclear testing program and provides guidance on approaches the U.S. government might use to communicate with the public about Iodine-131 exposures and health risks.
