METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR IN-VITRO OPTICAL ACTION ON BLOOD

This paper presents a description of methods and apparatus for optical action on blood outside the organism in a wide spectral range, from U V (lambda=254 nm) to visible (lambda=632.8 nm). Optical action on bloo d is effective not only for the treatment but also for the prophylaxis of a number of diseases in therapeutic, surgical, gynecological, infe ction, and other clinics, as well as for strengthening the action of i ntravenously introduced drugs. The apparatus can be used not only unde r stationary conditions, but also under ambulatory conditions. It can be used in veterinary science for prophylaxis and treatment of large h orned cattle, horses, sheep, swine, cats, and dogs.
