Treatment Of Decubitus Ulcers

Samuel S. Lombardo · 1959

A 45-year-old paraplegic man had decubitus ulcers measuring 3 inches at the scapula and 7 inches at the sacrum that did not heal with conventional treatment. Diapulse modality was introduced and led to skin growth, granulation, healing, and inward progression of skin margins. The sacral ulcer decreased in size and became potentially amenable to surgical closure.

Some Electrical and Radiation Hazards in the Laboratory

R. Stuart Mackay · 1959

The paper reviews electrical and radiation hazards in laboratories, including high-voltage shocks and X-ray generation from high-voltage equipment. Low-voltage hazards include severe burns from rings across battery terminals and high-voltage spikes when interrupting coil current. Radiofrequency radiation acts mainly through thermal effects, the eye is especially sensitive to cataracts, and a tolerance of 0.01 W/cm² is suggested.

Electrical Properties of Mitochondrial Membranes

Helmut Pauly, Lester Packer, H. P. Schwan · 1959

Researchers measured the electrical capacity of rat liver mitochondrial membranes by analyzing the frequency dependence of admittance in suspensions of swollen mitochondria. The membrane capacity was found to be 0.5 to 0.6 /F/cm2 and depended on potassium chloride ion concentration. The swollen mitochondria had internal ion concentrations proportional to the external medium, suggesting they could adjust their internal ion concentration. Internal mitochondrial conductance was approximately half that of the external medium, even with a 10-fold KCl concentration difference. The data suggested anisotropic electrical behavior explained by internal membranes.
