      abstract = {This book covers all aspects of chronic radiation syndrome  (CRS) based on observations in a unique sample of residents  of the Techa riverside villages in the southern Urals who  were exposed to radioactive contamination in the 1950s  owing to releases of liquid radioactive wastes from Mayak  Production Association, which produced plutonium for  weapons. In total, 940 cases of CRS were diagnosed in this  population and these patients were subjected to detailed  analysis. The opening chapters address the definition and  classification of CRS, epidemiology and pathogenesis,  covering molecular and cellular mechanisms,  radioadaptation, and the role of tissue reactions. The  pathoanatomy of CRS during the development and recovery  stages is discussed for all organ systems. Clinical  manifestations of CRS at the different stages are then  described in detail and the dynamics of hematopoietic  changes are thoroughly examined. In the following chapters,  principles of diagnosis (including assessment of the  exposure doses to critical organs) and differential  diagnosis from a wide range of other conditions are  discussed and current and potential treatment options,  described. The medical and social rehabilitation of persons  with CRS is also covered. This book, which casts new light  on the condition, will be of value for all practitioners  and researchers with an interest in CRS.},
