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...

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR BCG vaccination by multipuncture method

I write in response to the article by Al Jarad et al on this topic. The first study to compare the eYcacy of BCG vaccination and its side eVects using the Bignal multipuncture device with the reusable handle and disposable heads was the pilot study of neonatal BCG vaccination carried out in 1992 for the Department of Health in our health authority. In previous studies in neonates and children u...
