Electroencephalogr. Clin. Neurophysiol., 4/2. - May 1952, gr.-8°, pp.187-194, 6 Figs., orig. wrappers. Offprint! *) A contribution from the Biomechanics Group, aided by granst from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, and the National Research Council, Advisory Committee on Artificial Limbs. Verne Inman (1905-1980) "was an exceptional person in an important position at a pivotal time. Not only did his studies of the biomechanics of locomotion establish the field, they are classics in the application of engineering expertise to clinical problems through basic research." "It was soon evident that basic research was needed if intelligent design changes were to be made in the unsatisfactory prosthetic devices of the time. Here, then, was the opportunity for him to integrate his interests in mechanical and electronic devices, since elucidation of the basic biomechanics of locomotion required study of not only the dynamics of body motion, but also analysis of the phasic electrical activity of the appropriate muscles. As the scope of the project broadened to include problems with muscle physiology, pain, and skin, the Biomechanics Laboratory became the first departmentally based interdisciplinary research group on the San Francisco campus. The collaboration between the basic sciences and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery established high standards for such worthwhile interactions. The goals of basic research as well as their clinical applications were met by the diverse group of specialists who participated in the project. International fame and major publications in the areas of human locomotion, the mechanisms of pain, and rational prosthetic design were the result.".…

Surg. Gyn. Obstetr., 66. - Chicago, The Surgical Publishing Co., February 1938, gr.-8°, 12 pp., 9 Fig., orig. wrappers. Rare Offprint of this important report! Howard Christian Naffziger (1884-1961) was an American neurosurgeon, noted for his invention of the orbital decompression procedure, to alleviate intraocular pressure that occurs in goiter and other conditons. Naffziger's contributions to the field of neurosurgery were many. He reported on treatment of subdural hematoma, spinal cord injuries, skull fractures, and the surgical treatment of exophthalmos in patients with Graves' disease. A phenomenon of shoulder and upper extremity pain related to hypertrophied scalene muscle would become known as Naffziger syndrome after he described a technique for surgical scaleniotomy.
