The contribution confirms the clinical and biologic value of short and ultra-short radiation.
Plain English Summary
This contribution is an additional confirmation of the clinical and biologic value of short and ultra-short radiation. The author has presented a detailed and critical review of the most important studies of the biologic and therapeutic value of short wave radiation. The work has been organized to include discussions on the fundamental action of hertzian short waves, their difference from diathermy, and their biophysical, physiologic, and clinical effects on human and animal material. This part of the work is detailed in description and comprehensive in exposition, covering a large variety of acute and chronic affections related to every specialty in medicine. The last chapter deals with technical and physical considerations for the construction and uses of short wave apparatus.
