An article on the physiological effects of high-frequency waves (author not yet identified; found by text search, around line 340 of the pdftotext output) says, in a French radio trade journal eight years after his death: - "un eleve de d'Arsonval, Georges Lakhovsky, ouvrait la voie, par sa theorie de l'oscillation cellulaire, a un vaste champ de recherches"; his radio-cellulo-oscillator experiments on plants and animals "sont restees fameuses, notamment le traitement du cancer experimental des plantes"; for humans "il imagina l'oscillateur a ondes multiples donnant un spectre etendu d'ondes amorties" (a wide spectrum of damped waves). - A list of later work it places in the same field (each a lead, none read): - bactericidal action: Franz Seidel, Esau, Ivan Tisell; - plants: Rivera (cell multiplication), Benedetti (brewer's yeast), Pirrone (saccharomycetes), Mezzadroli (seed germination), Castaldi (aquatic plants), Labergerie (potato degeneration); - animals: Metalnikoff (infusoria, eggs, larvae), Gianferrari (salmon), Varenton (silkworms); - humans "a la suite des recherches de Lakhovsky a la Salpetriere (1924-1930)": Saidman, Cahen and Forestier (Institut d'Actinologie), Kotzareff (thesis), Nicola Gentile and Sordello Attilj (Rome), Roversi (Bologna), Raul Araujo (Montevideo), Ivan Tisell (London), Vittorio de Cigna (Genoa), P. Rigaux (Paris), Auclair and Halphen, Schliephake (listed as New York), Bordier, Nicolle, Ch. Hulin, Sven Johansson (Goteborg), Henry (Brussels), Schereschewsky and Andervont, Woodburg, A. H. Roffo (Buenos Aires), Postma (Groningen), Karsis (Athens), Louste (Hopital Saint-Louis). - It separates artificial fever by short waves (electropyrexia) from "effets specifiques" expected as wavelengths approach cell and molecule size.

Bearing (no verdicts)

• Priority 2/3: a 1950 technical-press account treats Lakhovsky as founder of a research field and lists about 30 workers in it, several named in the project documents (de Cigna, Rigaux, Attilj, Gentile, Araujo, Johansson, Henry, Roffo, Postma, Metalnikoff, Rivera, Castaldi). It gives no data.
• Schereschewsky and Andervont (US Public Health Service) are mainstream workers on short-wave effects on mouse tumours (see wiley-roussakow note).
