Item description from seller

J. Neurosurg., 16/3. - 1959, 8°, pp.239-260, 8 Figs., orig. self wrappers. Offprint! "The clinical benefits from the use of local cold applications to the cutaneons surfaces of the body and head have been known to the profession for many centuries. As far as I am aware, capsules housing refrigerated solutions were first introduced into the tissues of the human skull and brain in 1938 at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, on the author's Neurosurgical Service." Temple Sedgwick Fay (1895-1963) was an American neurologist and neurosurgeon. He is known for experimental use of extreme cold to treat patients with malignant tumors or head injuries. After undergraduate study at the University of Washington, he enrolled in the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, where the famous neurologist William Spiller became his mentor. After graduating in 1923, Fay became at the Philadelphia General Hospital a medical intern, an assistant to Spiller, an assistant to the famous neurosurgeon Charles Harrison Frazier, and then an instructor. During the years 1923 to 1929 Fay developed several new techniques and published several important papers. Fay developed the world's first systematic program of hypothermia for traumatic brain injury (TBI). He realized that "decreased intracranial pressure and improved utilization of oxygen by cerebral tissue" would help patients with TBI.
