“…He published reports on using liquid air for the treatment of lupus, herpes zoster, nevi, warts, chancroid, varicose leg ulcers, carbuncles, and epitheliomas [7,8]. Irvine and Turnacliffe expanded the uses of liquid air treatment to seborrheic keratosis, senile keratosis, lichen simplex, and poison ivy dermatitis [9].…”

Cryogens have been used to freeze living tissue for the purpose of treating benign and malignant lesions. Within the last century, ophthalmologists have found cryotherapy to be useful in treating a variety of ocular pathologies. Here, we review the history of cryotherapy, its introduction to the field of ophthalmology, its proposed mechanism of action, and its current applications in treating surface and intraocular eye disease.

“…In 1910, Gold [1910] showed that liquid air was far preferable. In 1929, Irvine and Turnacliffe [1929] similarly favored liquid air and oxygen over carbon dioxide snow, and reported liquid air treatment of seborrheic keratoses, senile keratoses, lichen simplex, poison ivy dermatitis, and herpes zoster. They found liquid oxygen very useful for warts, declaring that "it offers a practically sure, quick and painless method for removal of all types of warts, including the plantar type.…”

Modern Cryosurgery for Cancer

Cryosurgery is an old as well as new technique, and has gone through a long-term process of development. The history of "modern" cryosurgery is relatively short and is closely intertwined with developments in low-temperature physics, engineering, and instrumentation that were made during the last century.• The cryosurgical probes developed in the 1960s allow precise application of cryosurgical treatment deep in the body. This unique ability makes cryosurgery very promising and has resulted in the expansion of the method during this era. Cryosurgery had mainly been applied to uterine tumors and neurologic, orthopedic, and skin diseases. • From the end of the 20th century, the development of imaging techniques and new freezing equipment has culminated in the creation of modern cryosurgery. The liquid nitrogen operative system and the argon-helium surgical system represent two important stages of modern cryosurgery. • Now cryosurgery has been successfully used for treatment of a variety of tumors, which include benign and malignant neoplasms of the prostate, lung, liver, pancreas, kidney, breast, uterus, ovary, bone, and soft tissue.

“…Although scattered reports on the use of liquid air and liquid oxygen appeared during the following years, 10–12 they were not widely used because they were difficult to obtain and store and because of the combustibility of oxygen. It was not until World War II with the tremendous increase in industrial production that liquid nitrogen became available.…”
