Folley graduated from Harvard Medical School. His medical training included Mary Hitchock Memorial Hospital, New Haven Hospital, and University of Pennsylvania. Folley's major interest was in the field of internal medicine. He served as the President of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic, Hanover, New Hampshire from 1964 to 1974. Folley was the Medical Director of the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (ABCC) from 1950 to 1951, during his leave of absence from the Hichcock Clinic, Hanover, New Hampshire. In 1948 the ABCC initiated the first survey of the incidence of leukemia in populations exposed to high energy radiation by the explosion of an atomic bomb. Folley published his report on the incidence of leukemia in the survivors of the bombing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the American Journal of Medicine in 1952. He died in 1991.
無題During his 17-month affiliation (January 1953 to May 1954) with the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission Dr. Marvin A. Kastenbaum recorded some of his experiences on film. He donated three reels of 8 mm film to the Harris County Medical Archive in the Fall of 1995. Margaret A. Irwin has transferred the 8 mm film to VHS video cassette. This film is a unique visual history. Recorded are attractions in Japan, highlights from festivals, and scenes of daily life. Approximately one-third of the footage is devoted to ABCC personnel, activities and sites. The latter part of the film includes scenes of Hong Kong, Bangkok, India, Pakistan, Israel and Greece that Dr. Kastenbaum filmed after leaving Tokyo, Japan in May 1954.
Bound journal of about 270 pages that document the travel and work of Dr. WIlliam C. Moloney as a physician for the Atomic Bomb Causality Commission (ABCC) in Japan from 1952 to 1954. The journal also documents the events and activities of ABCC during that time period. The physical condition of the journal is mixed. The photographs are in good condition and the ink on the pages remains clear and crisp. The spine is broken and the pages are becoming detached. The tape and news clippings have yellowed and become brittle.
Scope and Content Note: The reprints are arranged in alphabetical order by title. Dr. Moloney described the reprints in the following statement on September 16, 1985:
"While they do not represent a great contribution, I believe the studies I carried out with Bob Lange on the preclinical phase of CML were important, i.e., the finding that the early CML cases demonstrated very low alkaline phosphate activity in polymorphological leukocytes was at least an original observation. Unfortunately, as you know, at the time we had no cytogenetic capability . . . "
These reports were published by the ABCC and leading scientific journals. They date from 1954 to 1966. All have Dr. Lange as an author. Some include Dr. William Moloney.
