[Meteoropathologic effects on the development of fatal lung embolism]. / Meteoropathologische Einflüsse auf die Ausbildung tödlicher Lungenembolien.

The metoropathological analysis of 958 fatal lung embolisms in the territory of Rostock does not make notice of special relation of the summer, preparing the material acc. to the both main seasons. In winter the fine weather phases 1-4 and normal radiation conditions result in a significant increase of the rate of mortality. A special endangering seams to occur after a period of dark weather at the transition to a period of light weather (weather phase 1).

[Clinical-experimental study on the temperature behaviour of the mucosa of mouth related to the season of the year]. / Klinisch-experimentelle Studie zum Temperaturverhalten der Mundschleimhaut unter Berücksichtigung der Jahreszeit.

A long-term investigation of 20 juvenile patients indicated a great seasonal and interdiurnal variation of the gingival temperature, which had a trend to a high interindividual correlation. The absolute individual differences was upto 2 degrees C. The lower jaw had a higher temperature than the upper jaw. The temperature of the right and left sides of the jaw differed from each other. The calculation of a standard temperature is only useful, when it is related to the individual sublingual temperature.

[The effect of natural daylight on human regulation]. / Zum Einfluss des natürlichen Tageslichtes auf die menschliche Regulation.

Day-light stimulates the endocrine glands about the biological clock. The annual variation of day-length and brightness lead to uni-modal annual rhythms of morbidity, mortality and physiological parameters too. Meteoropathological disturbances show an antagonistic influence of interdiurnal variations of day-light. In summer-time the seldom dark days and in winter-time the seldom bright days induce such phenomena. Another antagonistic influence of day-light is reflected by a bi-modal annual and by an about 14-days-rhythm. Upper-waves of annual rhythms with frequencies between 7 and 35 days can be synchronized by strong interdiurnal changes of day-light for man living in the same geographical region. The results as a whole may be explained by interdiurnal and seasonal modifications of human diurnal rhythms in form of changing phase-differences of two or more circadian oscillators.

[Initial results of studies of the effect of solar UV irradiation on the curative effect of psoriasis vulgaris in Heiligendamm]. / Erste Ergebnisse von Untersuchungen zum Einfluss der solaren UV-Strahlung auf den Kureffekt bei Psoriasis vulgaris in Heiligendamm.

By simultaneous registration of individual dose of natural UV radiation and clinical determination of variation of skin lesions of patients with psoriasis vulgaris was derived a good correlation between both parameters. Furthermore, there were large differences in utilization of UV-light by patients. There are great reserves of a more effective therapy with solar radiation.
