Therapeutic Applications of High Frequency Currents

Professor d'Arsonval · 1932

He defined high frequency current as an alternating current reversing several million times per second instead of 80 to 100. Therapeutic currents of 4 to 6 million reversals per second produced only warmth at high intensity and caused no sensation, pain, or muscle contractions even at 3 amperes. First clinical diathermy application in 1896 at Hotel Dieu showed convincing results, but the procedure took sixteen years to be adopted from Germany and Austria.

EXPERIMENTAL AND CLINICAL INVESTIGATIONS CONCERNING THE EFFECT OF ULTRASHORT ELECTRICAL WAVES ON INFLAMMATION

Erich Pflomm · 1931

Rats exposed to weak radiation were indistinguishable from non-radiated controls in size, behavior, and reproduction. Rats exposed to strong radiation showed depressed behavior, reduced growth, rough fur, and complete failure to reproduce over months of observation. Histology of heavily irradiated tumors revealed loss of tissue fluid, diffuse necrosis, expanded blood vessels, thrombosis, and very high leukocyte counts. Blood analyses of irradiated rabbits showed abnormal erythrocyte behavior and a strong leukocyte increase peaking at six hours after exposure.

THE PATHOLOGICAL ACTION OF LIGHT UPON THE EYE

W. STEWART DUKE-ELDER · 1926

Rabbit experiments showed that 2-5 minutes of exposure to a quartz mercury lamp produces conjunctivitis and corneal stippling. The human eye is more sensitive than the rabbit eye, and the reaction varies directly with exposure time and inversely with the square of the distance. Repeated exposures are additive for up to 24 hours if the interval is not long enough for physiological repair.
