THE STUDENT'S LIBRARY

Liebesny · 1935

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.

AFFERENT FUNCTION IN THE GROUP OF NERVE FIBERS OF SLOWEST CONDUCTION VELOCITY

DEAN CLARK, JOSEPH HUGHES, HERBERT N. GASSER · 1935

The researchers compared electrical stimulation of the saphenous nerve at strengths that activated only A and B fibers with stimulation that also activated C fibers. After blocking A and B fibers by compression or asphyxia, stimulating the remaining C fibers alone still produced reflexes.

STATUS OF ELECTROSURGICAL PROSTATIC RESECTION

HARRY C. ROLNICK, M.D. · 1935

Perineal prostatectomy was preferred for prostatic calculi and intraurethral lateral lobe hypertrophy. The electrosurgical unit improved perineal prostatectomy by enabling tissue removal with little bleeding, no infection danger, and rapid healing.

THE FLASHER SINUSOIDAL MACHINE

JEROME WEISS, M.D. · 1935

The first machine was built in December 1926 as an emergency substitute when a mechanical generator broke down. The original machine delivered only a rhythmically interrupted alternating current and had no vacuum tubes. The machine is ground free, the control knob is not electrically connected to the circuit, and the entire output comes from a five watt transformer. No oiling or other service is required, wear is negligible after many years of severe use, and the vacuum tubes are standard radio receiving types obtainable at very small cost.

EDITORIALS - PRIORITY IN SHORT WAVE THERAPY

KOBAK, D · 1935

The editorial traces the history of short wave therapy from Hertz's 1888 wave propagation experiments to d'Arsonval's 1891 foundational research. It distinguishes diathermy using long waves with thermic effects from radiathermy using short waves with minimal heating and selective biologic effects. Priority for modern short wave therapy is assigned to Schereschewsky with his 1926 publication. Christie, Loomis, and Hosmer receive priority for establishing frequency-dependent heating of electrolytes, while Stiebéck is credited for advocating highest frequencies from 1925, and Schliephake is named the actual founder of clinical radiathermy with work from 1928.
