[HSF] Before Gibbon: "Brukhonenko"

[Giulio Rizzoli]

Sergei S Brukhonenko was very famous at the 
beginning of the century for his experiment 
of  "mantaining an isolated canine head 
responsive" with his artificial circulation 
machine which was patented on 15/12/1934
Take a look to the address below, it connects to 
an archive of films. This one  shows  Brukhonenko 
machine in action and some experiment of  canine resuscitation.
Without the "Barbarossa" invasion (21/June/1941) 
cardiac surgery coul'd have started in  the old  Europe.
Unbelivable ??
