The controversial issue has divided veterans and the Pentagon
ATLANTA (CNN) In the aftermath of the Gulf War, one of the most charged issues to emerge has been the cause of illnesses suffered by Gulf War veterans. Despite much research, the debate surrounding the issue is as heated as it was when it first surfaced. The Pentagon says it cannot link the various symptoms to any one cause and veterans groups maintain the Pentagon is stonewalling the issue.

Research on Gulf War-Associated Neurologic Illness
By the Division of Epidemiology, UT Southwestern Medical Center
Robert W. Haley, M.D., Director
Dr. Robert Haley and colleagues at UT Southwestern have been conducting epidemiologic, clinical and laboratory research on the "Gulf War syndrome" and related neurologic illnesses in Gulf War veterans since March 1994. The work has been supported by a continuing grant from the Perot Foundation and by a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense. The objectives of the research are to define new or unique clinical syndromes among Gulf War veterans, determine their causes, identify areas of damage or dysfunction in the brain and nervous system responsible for the symptoms, develop a cost-effective battery of clinical tests that can diagnose the illness, search for underlying genetic traits that might predispose to the illness, and perform clinical trials of promising treatments. The initial studies identified three primary syndromes in a Naval reserve construction battalion (seabees) that appear to be unique, demonstrated that the syndromes are associated with subtle dysfunction of the brainstem and lower parts of the brain, and found epidemiologic associations between the syndromes and risk factors of exposure to combinations of chemicals in the Gulf War. Genetic studies have identified a genetic trait (PON1 enzymes) that may explain why some soldiers sustained brain damage from exposure to neurotoxic chemicals while others working alongside them remained well. Most recently, research using magnetic resonance spectroscopy has demonstrated a loss of functioning brain cells in deep brain structures of ill Gulf War veterans. Additional commentaries by Dr. Haley have challenged the government's stress theory of Gulf War syndrome and findings of no difference in mortality, hospitalization and birth defects between Gulf War-deployed and nondeployed military populations. Additional research and publications are in process.

Gulf War Veterans and Illness
N Engl J Med N Engl J Med N Engl J Med Talk about timely research. Two new studies published in this week's The New England Journal of Medicine (November 14, 1996) may have dealt a severe blow to the "son of Agent Orange." Over the last couple of weeks there has been a great deal of hub-bub in the media about so-called Gulf War illness i.e., veterans. who claim to suffer various adverse health effects from exposure to chemical agents during the Persian Gulf War. Recent uproar has involved claims of foot dragging and stonewalling by the Department of Defense and leaks of classified information by former CIA employees. Much of this has involved whether or not, and then, how many, Gulf War service men and women were exposed to chemical agents (like nerve gas). The new studies report
  • No excess deaths among Gulf War veterans as compared to other veterans (study funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs); and No excess in hospitalizations among Gulf War veterans as compared to other veterans (study funded by the Department of Defense).
  • Of the 695,516 Americans who served in the Persian Gulf War, 1,765 veterans died in the ensuing 2.4 years. Although Gulf War veterans had a 9 percent higher death rate than other non-Gulf War veterans, the excess deaths were caused by accidents, especially motor vehicle accidents. Compared to the general U.S. population, Gulf War veterans experienced 56 percent less mortality.

    U.S. House of Representatives February 5, 1998 The DVA has requested that IOM conduct a comprehensive review of the available scientific and medical literature regarding the association between exposures during the Persian Gulf War and adverse health effects experienced by Persian Gulf War Veterans. This study will be conducted by a committee of experts drawn from a broad range of public health, scientific, and medical fields. Based on its review and findings, the committee will also make recommendations for additional scientific studies to resolve areas of continued scientific uncertainty related to health consequences. During the second phase of the study, the remaining exposures will be subject to review and analysis. The final phase, to be conducted every two to three years, will update the literature reviews and the associations that have been identified between exposures and adverse health outcomes. It is assumed that the IOM will begin this project in the Spring of 1998 and complete the first phase by Spring of 2000.

    GULF WAR ILLNESS
    The unit is also closely linked with the work of the Gulf War Illness Research Unit, also located in the medical school. We have carried out a large scale epidemiological study of UK servicemen and women who served in
    the Persian Gulf War, and compared them to equal numbers of military personnel who served either in Bosnia, or were in service during the gulf war, but were not deployed there.
    The results demonstrated unequivocally that the Gulf War had affected the health of many of those who had served there. Those who went to the Gulf were between two or three times more likely to complain of each and every symptom asked than those who went to Bosnia, which was chosen to control for the general unpleasant effects of overseas deployment. Despite that, most were coping well, and only a few severely affected. However, the pattern of symptoms in the gulf soldiers was similar to those in the other groups - there was no evidence of a unique Gulf War Syndrome. The causes of this ill health clearly were related to events before, during and after the Gulf War. We also showed that there was no single cause, but instead the worse health of the Gulf servicemen was related to the greater number of hazards they encountered, physical and psychological, rather than any single factor.
    We are now carrying out research to see if we can identify the mechanisms that link Gulf service to subsequent ill health. Studies are underway using immunology, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, neurology and other disciplines. We hope to have more results next year.

    9.1 Survivors of Friendly Fire
    Out of 113 - 122 survivors of the friendly fire incidents during the Gulf War involving DU ammunition, 50 soldiers were wounded by DU shrapnel. In 1993, the Army Surgeon General's Office selected 35 soldiers, 22 of whom still had embedded DU fragments, for participation in the DU Follow-Up Program at the Baltimore VA Medical Center. Three declined to participate and one veteran was subsequently included in the program after a positive private test of the fragments embedded in his body for DU Tests were conducted to study urinalysis, urinary uranium, blood chemistries, and neuroendocrine measures. The patients also received detailed physical examinations, neuropsychological tests, and radiology tests. Those with embedded DU fragments have elevated urinary uranium levels, but no manifestations of kidney disease attributable to the chemical toxicity of DU have been found. Minor biochemical and neuropsychological perturbations were correlated with the elevated urinary uranium levels. Laboratory tests also found DU in semen samples from some veterans exposed to DU. All births to couples in the DU Follow-Up Program have been normal At present, the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) offers comprehensive clinical evaluation and urine tests for the presence of uranium to all Gulf War veterans on a voluntary basis. Out of the first 20,000 particitating veterans, 25 veterans exposed to DU dust were diagnosed with serious kidney damage (13 with glomerulonephritis and 12 with renal insufficiency), none from the group in the DU Follow-up Program

    97. Gulf War Syndrome
    If you ask me what caused gulf war illness, I m ready to say I don t know andI don t think anyone will ever know, says Arthur L. Caplan, PhD,
    http://www.umdnj.edu/umcweb/marketing_and_communications/publications/umdnj_maga
    Gulf War Syndrome (continued) T his is why the government has funded a great deal more research, to try to resolve some of these uncertainties," says Joyce Lashoff, PhD, retired dean of the School of Public Health at Berkeley and former chair of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses. "We recommended further research, and I think we have to wait for those results before we can be more definitive." UMDNJ researchers are playing a leadership role in the federally funded investigations. In 1994, Benjamin Natelson, MD, professor of neurosciences at UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School (NJMS), was named to head one of three nationwide centers chosen by the Department of Veterans Affairs to investigate Gulf War illnesses. His center, based at the Veterans Administration Hospital in East Orange, received a five-year, $2.5 million grant to focus on a possible link between Gulf War veterans' ills, chronic fatigue syndrome and multiple chemical sensitivity. This past November, another large grant was awarded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS). The three-year, $1.8 million grant was given to the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute (EOHSI), a joint program of UMDNJ and Rutgers, to see if it can develop a sufficiently distinct definition of Gulf War illness that would separate it from any other known physical or psychological illnesses. A possible link between the veterans' ills and exposure to Iraqi nerve gas should be "of particular concern" as the United States prepared for a possible second war with Iraq, warned a letter to President Clinton sent in February. The letter was written by Marguerite Knox, clinical assistant professor at the University of South Carolina College of Nursing, and a former member of the Presidential Advisory Committee chaired by Lashoff. Five of the 11 other former members of the committee co-signed it.

    Victims of a War They Never Saw
    by Maggie O'Kane
    Guardian Weekly, Jan. 10, 1999, page 21 The movement inside her body is strange: different from her other children. As Suad Jope waits for her birth-time, she passes the hours and the spasms announcing it by sliding her back along the maternity corridor's grubby cream walls. At 34, and already the mother of three, Suad has been through this all before. Her heavy cotton nightgown is sprinkled with pale apple blossoms and hangs down, almost covering the puffy ankles of a woman approaching labor. That afternoon, her consultant, Dr. Haifa Ashahine had stopped and said: "See, the spine ends here. There is no head." Dr. Ashahine, a senior gynaecologist at the Saddam Hussein Children's Hospital in southern Iraq, is not shocked. If it is not a child without a brain, then maybe it's one with a giant head, stumpy arms like those of a thalidomide victim, two fingers instead of five, a heart with missing valves, missing ears. The deformities have one thing in common: they are congenital. In Iraq the health authorities say that at least three times more children are being born with congenital deformities than before the Gulf War. Now, in both Britain and the United States, veterans of that same war are coming forward with reports of sick and dying children. In Britain the Ministry of Defence has agreed to a $1.3 million independent survey of reproduction that will cover every veteran that served in the Gulf.

    Gulf War Illness
    [At first, I didn't pay much attention to the discussion of Gulf War Syndrome I suppose I bought the explanation that the illnesses were caused by stress. Then, in 1997, I caught a news clip of Schwarzkopf angrily denying that the US military complex would ever do anything to harm its soldiers. (This had been in response to mention of the Syndrome. Had the general been on mental leave when military personnel were intentionally exposed to the fallout of nuclear testing half a century ago?) Later, due to what we were told was the mistake of an anonymous GI having installed a virus-laden computer game on a military computer, records that Congress had requested were lost forever. This very suspicious, timely coincidence piqued my curiosity. Results of my research follow.]
