Diathermy

I should also point out, as Shebardigan mentioned in an earlier post, microwave ovens and diathermy essentially heat by coupling energy from an RF field to the vibrational and rotational modes of molecules, especially complex organic molecules. ❋ Unknown (2009)

That would be diathermy as opposed to simple heat generated at the point of skin contact by the passage of current through a fairly large-value resistor. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The fact that the effect observed RF burns on human skin happens over a small area, and is accompanied by other phenomena that one might not notice until the second or third such incident is strongly indicative of resistive heating, and deprecatory of a diathermy hypothesis. stevaroni replied to comment from Shebardigan ❋ Unknown (2009)

The injection of the anaesthetic was excruciating - the worst pain I've had since age 20 - and the anaesthesia was almost nonexistant, so the diathermy afterwards was unpleasant too. ❋ Zoe Brain (2007)

It went out of business at the end of 1915 after successful litigation by a client whose knee had been burned by a diathermy machine. ❋ Ray Girvan (2005)

The D'Arsonval machine was a type of Violet Ray Generator, and Nagelschmidt apparatus was diathermy. ❋ Ray Girvan (2005)

I'd had some diathermy before in an area of incomplete anaesthesia - it just wasn't possible to numb that area at all - and although it hurt A LOT! it was over very quickly - my OB/GYN completed it in less than 5 seconds - and it was no worse than, say, having a burn on your arm from a hot soldering iron. ❋ Zoe Brain (2007)

This kind of radiation had already been used in diathermy, or deep heat treatment for patients with arthritis, as well as in communications and navigation. ❋ Harold McGee (2004)

Twelve studies evaluated patients with acute LBP and compared manipulation with exercise, diathermy, infrared, electrical stimulation, movement education, massage, and drugs. ❋ Dr. Kenneth R. Pelletier (2000)

Naturopaths often use hydrotherapy; exercise; massage; naturopathic manipulation techniques, which are somewhat similar to chiropractic; immobilization, by using braces and splints; ultrasound, diathermy, or heat therapy; electrical stimulation; and light therapy. ❋ Dr. Kenneth R. Pelletier (2000)

Part of it traces its ancestry to diathermy equipment; another feature is derived from metal enameling processes. ❋ Heinlein, Robert A. (1966)

According to Zahn, the method of applying diathermy to the human eye is to take a layer of cotton wool 1 cm. thick soaked in a 2 per cent solution of sodium chlorid, which is applied close to the outside of the lids. ❋ Various (N/A)
