Medical Investigations on the Wintering Members of the 10th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition : I. Circulatory Condition of Finger Tip in Antarctica (Reports of the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition)
As a member of the 10th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition, the author spent a year (1969-1970) at Syowa Station in Antarctica. Circulatory condition and function of the fingers of the wintering members were studied. (1) Twenty-nine persons were examined and the average of their ages was 30.9 ye...
