A MINIATURE OPHTHALMIC DIATHERMY MACHINE

Development of a dynamic high precision miniature milling machine

One of the main focuses in many research fields is the miniaturisation of work pieces and components. Micro fluidic, micro mechanic, micro electronic and micro optical functional groups are integrated into smallest space to microsystems for medical, information technology or automotive purposes. Directly opposed to the miniaturisation trend of these products are the machine tools used for the p...

Diathermy haemorrhoidectomy: reasons for a therapeutic choice.

BACKGROUND Diathermy haemorrhoidectomy is an effective technique for the management of 2nd, 3rd and 4th degree haemorrhoids. The anal cushions are excised by use of diathermy without ligature of the vascular pedicles. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of this technique. METHODS Between September 1999 and September 2003, 84 patients with 2nd, 3rd, and 4t...

Short-Wave Diathermy

A good estimate of the value and interest of this book would be for one to attempt to review the large volume of literature on the subject of the development and uses of shortwave diathermy, which the author has studiously done. He has gleaned the rapidly accumulating published work of the past decade, previous to which little or nothing was written on the subject. An extensive bibliography is ...

Diathermy in Pneumonia

An Experimental Study of Diathermy

The principles governing the passage of high frequency currents through various conductors have been discussed and exemplified in experiments done on both non-living and living bodies. In Part I it was shown: (1) That the current takes the path of least electrical resistance rather than the shortest path; (2) that maximal heating occurs at the point of greatest concentration of the lines of cur...
