Gulf War Veterans Information System - May 2007
This report is incorrectly cited in OpEd News Article that Claims 73,000 Dead Veterans since Gulf War - In reality, on Page 6 of this report, you will see that the 73,000 deaths occured in the the population of all servicemembers who served between Aug 1990 and May 2007, a total of nearly seven million veterans - Less than 700,000 veterans were classed as "CONFLICT", those veterans who deployed to Southwest Asia between Aug 1990 and July 31, 1991

Harlequin Ichthyosis - Answer to Case #173
Harlequin is often falsely claimed to be due to DU; the photos are so vivid and grab the viewer's heart but it has nothing to do with DU and first was noted in 1752 decades before the discovery of uranium - "Congenital Ichthyosis is a lethal autosomal recessive disorder. This condition is rare. Congenital Ichthyosis is a rare, lethal disorder resulting from a keratinizing disorder caused by mutations in the ABCA12 gene. The typical ultrasound findings of a harlequin fetus are the open mouth, thick lips and bilateral ectropion. The characteristic feature is a external thickened keratin layer of skin and diffuse plate scaled, giving a thick whitish armor like skin criss crossed by deep red grooves. These resemble a harlequin costume, hence the name “Harlequin Fetus”. Facial features include ectropion, eclabium and nasal hypoplasia. The limbs show restricted movements with hypoplastic toes and fingers. In the fetus described here the facial features were depicted in 3D imaging. The head and the feet abnormality were confirmed after birth"

Radiological and Chemical Fact Sheets - Argonne National Laboratory
Forty-three contaminant-specific sheets (29 radionuclides and 14 chemicals) address: key properties, origin, and use; general environmental levels; distribution in the body; primary health effects; and standard values for estimating risk. Six companion radiological fact sheets provide context for: ionizing radiation; radioactive properties; natural decay series (uranium, radium, thorium); transuranic series; radiological dispersal device; and health-based radionuclide concentrations in drinking water and air (the latter two focus on homeland security context). Two fact sheets address chemical mixtures, to frame cumulative risk assessments and the evaluation of interactions.
