[Changes of regional hemodynamics and microcirculation in tissues of lower extremities in patients with obliterating atherosclerosis in stages I and II]. / Izmeneniia regionarnoi gemodinamiki i mikrotsirkuliatsii v tkaniakh nizhnikh konechnostei u bol'nykh s obliteriruiushchim aterosklerozom v I i II stepeni.

Basing on analysis of results of ultrasonic investigation and laser Doppler flowmetry, performed in 125 patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of lower extremities arteries in I-II stages, the criterions of the chronic arterial insufficiency severity diagnosis were determined. There was established, that in high functional reserve of microcirculation present it is expedient to recommend to the patients the conservative treatment, as well as physiotherapeutic and sanatorium health resort procedures.

[Low intensity laser radiation in complex therapy of patients with vascular obliterating atherosclerosis of low extremities]. / Vozmozhnosti nizkointensivnogo lazernogo izlucheniia v kompleksnom lechenii bol'nykh obliteriruiushchim aterosklerozom sosudov nizhnikh konechnostei.

It is shown that laser therapy used in a multiple-modality treatment of patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of vessels of the interior limbs presenting with stage I-III ischemia permits achieving a substantial clinical effect manifested subjectively by fewer compliants or disappearance thereof in a proportion of patients, which fact is corraborated by objective findings such as increase in peripheral, volumetric blood flow and lower degree, in some patients, of ischemia of the extremities, improvement in processes of microcirculation and hemocoagulation. The use of laser radiation and pneumocompression combined in treatment of patients with chronic arterial insufficiency of the lower extremities of atherosclerotic genesis has been shown to have a more marked and appreciable effect. The studies made broaden our possibilities of conservative non-medicamentous treatment of obliterating atherosclerosis of vessels of the lower extremities.

[The efficiency of low-intensity laser radiation in the treatment of arterial hypertension complicated by ischemic heart disease]. / Effektivnost' ispol'zovaniia nizkointensivnogo lazernogo izlucheniia pri lechenii arterial'noi gipertonii i ee sochetaniia s ishemicheskoi bolezn'iu serdtsa.

The efficiency of low-intensity laser radiation (LILR) was studied in the treatment of 291 patients with arterial hypertension and ischemic heart disease. Clinical grounds are given for use of LILR red and infrared rays in rehabilitation of hypertensive patients with ischemia. The rehabilitation regimens can be differentiated according to the disease severity, type of hemodynamics, state of cerebral circulation.

[The evaluation of the efficacy of the hydro- and balneo-laser therapy of patients with arterial hypertension]. / Otsenka éffektivnosti gidro- i bal'neolazernoi terapii bol'nykh s arterial'noi gipertenziei.

The method of hydro- and balneo-laser therapy is highly effective in optimization of adaptation, improvement in physical and cardiac performance. However examination of data in the comparative aspect showed that balneo-laser therapy is a more effective treatment option compared to hydro-laser therapy.

[The effect of low-intensity laser radiation in the infrared and red ranges on arterial pressure regulation in patients with borderline hypertension]. / Vliianie nizkointensivnogo lazernogo izlucheniia infrakrasnogo i krasnogo diapazona na reguliatsiiu arterial'nogo davleniia u bol'nykh s pogranichnoi gipertenziei.

Effectiveness was studied of low-intensity laser irradiation on regulation of arterial blood pressure (BP) in 185 patients (51 men, 134 women). The above patients were prescribed four therapeutic complexes: group I was exposed to infra-red irradiation by zones; group II--to scanning Helium-Neon laser across the portal zone and paravertebrally CIII-Th5; group III--to helium-neon laser in the area of right sinocarotid zone; group IV underwent hydrolaser shower (in red and intra-red range). Complaints were studied as were data from laboratory investigations, the condition of different bodily systems, BP level, the functional state of the cardiovascular system as per electrocardiography and rheography findings. A positive clinical effect was achieved in all the groups studied. Employment of low-intensity laser irradiation in the rehabilitation of patients with borderline hypertension during the sanatorium stage was noted to strikingly enhance the efficiency of the therapy administered. It can be prescribed to patients irrespective of their hemodynamic types. Irradiation of the right sinocarotid zone and hydrolaser therapy are indicated to patients presenting with hypo- and eukinetic types of hemodynamics and baseline sympatheticotonia.
