title: [Dynamics of morphological changes in the spinal cord following exposure to non-ionizing microwave radiation].
abstract: The structure of different portions (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and coccygeal) of the spinal cord were studied in the experiments on 50 animals with the use of the Nissl, Zimmermann, Cajal and other methods on days 1, 10, 20 and 30 after exposure to non-ionizing microwave radiation (NMI). Single exposure to NMI (wave length 12.6 cm, intensity 400-500 mW/cm2) for one hour (cats) or four hours (dogs) produces a severe distress of glial neurones and cells, which is marked by the appearance of dystrophic processes along the entire spinal cord. The disease progresses, leading to abnormalities of motor and other physiological functions of the body.
