A Systematic Review of the Hematopoietic Acute Radiation Syndrome (H-ARS) in Canines and Non-human Primates: Acute Mixed Neutron/Gamma vs. Reference Quality Radiations.

ABSTRACT: A systematic review of relevant studies that determined the dose response relationship (DRR) for the hematopoietic (H) acute radiation syndrome (ARS) in the canine relative to radiation quality of mixed neutron:gamma radiations, dose rate, and exposure uniformity relative to selected reference radiation exposure has not been performed. The datasets for rhesus macaques exposure to mixed neutron:gamma radiation are used herein as a species comparative reference to the canine database. The selection of data cohorts was made from the following sources: Ovid Medline (1957-present), PubMed (1954-present), AGRICOLA (1976-present), Web of Science (1954-present), and US HHS RePORT (2002-present). The total number of hits across all search sites was 3,077. Several referenced, unpublished, non-peer r
