Human centrifugation machine a physiological stimulator of endogenous prostaglandin synthesis

Acta Physiol Pharmacol Ther Latinoam. 1992;42(1):9-12.

Abstract

A new model of human centrifugation machine with clinical purposes which makes possible to stimulate endogenous prostaglandin synthesis by a mechanical stimulus over the vessel walls is presented. The different therapeutical applications of this machine were demonstrated in lymphedema, peripheral obstructive arteriopathies, reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome, diabetic background retinopathy and coronary artery disease.
