Abstract
Conclusions
These experimental data show that, in living animals, the temperatures of certain different types of tissues are affected to different degrees by the systemic application of the shortwave electric field. Muscle tissine is affected slightly more than is subcutaneous tissue : intra-articular tissue is affected more than is muscle tissue. Furthermore, it has been shown that the reactions of anesthetized animals to general hyperthermia produced by this physical agent (short electric nave fields) are quantitatively different from those produced in unanesthetized animals. Measurements of temperatures of tissues of dead animals have shown that bone is heated much more markedly than is muscle tissue and they have indicated that the changes of temperature produced by this high frequency field are strictly dependent on the position and constitution of the various tissues.
