![]() ![]() So I changed my topic to disturbances in visual acuity. When we returned in 1958, Japan had changed its agricultural practices, and the medical problem was gone. My project was to be on a form of parasitism that caused 10% eosinophilia in 1 out of 4 Hiroshima children in 1955. We finished in Hiroshima on schedule and soon after had a full clinic in Nagasaki. Within 2 weeks, we were seeing 40 patients a day in the clinic. At least one of them, Masanori Otake, is still at RERF, where he built a career in biostatistics. We quickly recruited an excellent staff of Japanese pediatricians, nurses, psychometric testers, and patient contactors. ![]() From left: Jim Neel, and dentists Jerry D Niswander and Chokudo Sujaku.
