| Knud Helge Faber |
Knud Helge Faber is particulalrly known for his study of digestive diseases and of tuberculosis. He is also asociated with a retention test meal: intake of easily recognisable foodstuffs with subsequent aspiration. This had previously been recommended by Louis Bourget (1856-1913), Kemp, Wilhelm Olivier von Leube (1842-1922), and Franz Riegel (1843-1904), and was used for investigating the emptying speed of the ventricle. Now replaced by X-ray investigations.
