The analysis of food service costs in this article provides an overview of the potential for cost containment of alternative food service systems for facilities ranging in capacity from 100 to 550 beds. This work was conducted mainly with U.S. Army hospital facilities in mind; however, the methodology and overall results are general and apply to any hospital that wishes to design an economical food service.
The disodium salt of 4-diethyl aminophenyl-4',4''-bis(3-sulfobenzyl ethyl aminophenyl)acetonitrile was made and studied. It was found to release cyanide lineraly with exposure to ionizing radiation. When administered ip to mice, it was absorbed in significant amounts and retained its ability to cleave upon irradiation. Based upon this, we gathered evidence and proposed that it is feasible to design a non-toxic compound which when exposed to ionizing radiation would yield predictable reactive end products that would remain localized and augment the effects of irradiation upon a neoplasm.
