title: [The application of cryogenic temperatures in medicine].
abstract: An increased interest in effects of low temperatures on human organisms has been observed during last years. Low temperatures have been applied in cryotherapy and cryosurgery. In our article we show the influence of low temperatures on different physiological mechanisms and the possibility of their application in the therapy.
