title: [Changes in the blood rheological properties in the transcutaneous irradiation of the ulnar vascular fascicle with a helium-neon laser].
abstract: An investigation of blood rheologic properties in 12 patients with acute pneumonia has been made by using low-energy He-Ne laser (LG-79-2) irradiation of vascular fascicle. 37 exposures have been performed, 40 min each. Immediate effects of He-Ne laser were studied comparing blood samples taken before and after the radiation. Results obtained have demonstrated transcutaneous blood irradiation causing prompt and pronounced effects on blood rheologic characteristics: reduced blood viscosity, improved both viscous-elastic properties and osmotic resistance of erythrocytes, activated platelet aggregation. These effects excluding the latter are rather positive for the human body. As for platelet aggregation, its activation following transcutaneous laser irradiation of blood might be expected to grow into a factor of risk provoking pathologic thrombogenesis in venous congestion, hypercoagulation and vascular wall injury.
