[Utilization of magneto-biological effects in neurosurgery]. / Zur Anwendung magnetisch-biologischer Effekte in der Neurochirurgie.

After referring to the application of magnetoes used until now for fixation of ferromagnetic substancies in aneurysms, the new results obtained with externally exployed magnetic fields are discussed. Target site is calculated according to stereotactic principles. In the magnetic field the circulating blood is influenced in such a manner, that in the anode region clotting will occure, wherease in the region of cathode the clotting will be inhibited. After developing the appropiate equipment, these conditions were studied on the basis of experimentally produced aneurysms in thyroid arteries of animals as well as in 30 ptients. It is assumed, that magnetic fields increase the immunoresistance of the organism and also exert a direct influence on the growth of tumourcells.

[Possibilities of prevention of posttraumatic fat embolism]. / Vozmozhnost' profilaktiki posttravmaticheskoi zhirovoi embolii

Hypocoagulation induced artificially with anticoagulants of an indirect action in patients, subjected to osteotomy of the femoral bone, resulted in diminishing of the intensity of fat globulemia and a decrease in the average size of fat globules, thus lessening the risk of fat embolism.
