Diathermy is the use of electrical current in surgery as either a cutting tool or to cauterize blood vessels to stop bleeding. The invention of diathermy has made the work of surgeons much simpler by allowing them save time on hemostasis by burning off small arteries that would previously have had to be tied manually. There are two types of diathermy, monopolar and bipolar. Both types use electrical current, the dif ...

Electrotherapy is basically the use of an electric current to stimulate a tissue with the objective of healing or restoring a lost function, and has many therapeutic applications. Although, historically electrical stimulation were used to activate electrically excitable tissues – read muscle and nerves – in its first experiments, more than a century ago, Electroteraphy has develop into a h ...

Radio is the wireless transmission of signals, by modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of light. Radio - Radio waves. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation, created whenever a charged object (e.g. an electron) accelerates with a frequency that lies in the radio frequency (RF) portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. In radio, this acceleration is caused by an alternating current in an antenna. Radio frequencies occupy the range from a few tens of hertz to a f ...

Many of radio's early uses were maritime, for sending telegraphic messages using Morse code between ships and land. One of the earliest users included the Japanese Navy scouting the Russian fleet during the Battle of Tsushima in 1905. One of the most memorable uses of marine telegraphy was during the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912, including communications between operators on the sinking ship and nearby vessels, and communications t ...

Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation, created whenever a charged object (e.g. an electron) accelerates with a frequency that lies in the radio frequency (RF) portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. In radio, this acceleration is caused by an alternating current in an antenna. Radio frequencies occupy the range from a few tens of hertz to a few hundred gigahertz. Other types of electromagnetic radiation, with frequencies above the RF range are infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. Since the ...

CB is still a popular hobby in many countries though its utility as a method of communication among the general public has diminished recently, due to new developments such as mobile phones. CB radio is still a near-universal method of communication among semi truck drivers in America and also remains very popular in rural areas with farmers and hunters, plus sometimes even acting as a sort of "party line" phone system in deep-rural areas too far in the boonies to have phone lines. Commercial drivers use CB to communicate to other truck driv ...

Although CB was created in and for the United States, similar services exist in other countries around the world (see CB radio in the United Kingdom and Australian UHF CB-equivalent). Technical standards, power levels, and frequencies are different so North American CB equipment may not comply with European regulations, and vice versa. Often other radio services will use FM instead of AM or SSB. A gray market trade in imported CB gear does exist in many countries. In many instances, sale or ownership of foreign-specification CB gear i ...

The citizens' band radio service was formed following a decision in 1945 by the US government that its citizens should be permitted a short-distance radio band for personal communication. The 11-meter band was taken from the amateur radio service for the Citizen's band. But it was not until the 1970s, when technology had advanced to reduce costs, that the CB market prospered, US truckers being at the head of the boom. Many CB clubs were formed and a special CB slang language evolved. The prominent use of CB radios in mid- and late-1970s film ...

Radio - Origin of the word. Originally, radio technology was called 'wireless telegraphy', which was shortened to 'wireless'. The prefix radio- in the sense of wireless transmission is first recorded in the word radioconductor, coined by the French physicist Edouard Branly in 1897 and based on the verb to radiate. 'Radio' had appeared as a noun by 1907 (when it was used in an article by Lee de Forest), was adopted by the United States Navy in 1912 and became common by the time of the first co ...

On October 6, 1988, less than two years before his death, Karl Menninger wrote an historic letter to Thomas Szasz, the controversial libertarian psychiatrist and author of The Myth of Mental Illness and many other books. After reminiscing over his many years of observations of the treatment of psychiatric patients, Menninger expressed his regret that he did not come over to Szasz's positions on psychiatry. "I am sorry you and I have gotten apparently so far apart all these years", Menninger wrote and that "We might have enjoyed discussing ou ...
