title: The role of thermal energy absorbed in unit time on thermal lesion of the skin. (Preliminary report).
abstract: The relationship between tissue injury caused by thermal effects and the parameters of heat transmission was studied in animal experiments. The injury caused by identical quantities of heat depends on the duration of the thermal effect. In case of identical periods of exposure the lesion of the tissue is determined by the quantity of radiated heat (intensity of radiation) absorbed by the skin.
