Article Synopsis
- In 1976, Air France's Concordes logged 2,642 hours of flight time over 772 commercial flights to Rio de Janeiro, Caracas, and Washington, measuring cosmic radiation dosage during these trips.
- The average cosmic radiation dose was recorded at 0.99 mrems/h, with Washington flights showing a higher average of 1.49 mrem/h compared to 0.78 mrem/h on the Rio and Caracas routes.
- Overall, the radiation exposure for Concorde passengers and crew was significantly low, well below the public safety limit of 500 mrems per year.
Two familial cases of acrodermatitis enteropathica began at the time of weaning, with characteristic dermatologic lesions and digestive signs, resulting in lack of weight gain: at 13 months of age growth future was evident in the elder child. The anatomic lesions were those of an exophagitis and, in the duodenal mucosa, a dilation of the capillaries of the chorion in the absence of villous atrophy. The ultrastructural study showed inclusions in Paneth's cells, and changes in keratin cells, with intra-cytoplasmic vacuoles and abnormal melanin pigment in the skin.
