  • Title: [Correction of antioxidant defense in patients with bronchial asthma by the method of intravascular laser irradiation].
    Author: Nikitin AV, Kashin AV, Karpukhina EP.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1993; (3):46-7. PubMed ID: 7984593.
    Abstract:
    Adjuvant endovascular irradiation of blood with He-Ne laser was used in addition to conventional treatment for bacterial asthma. Out of 48 asthmatics, 16 had a mild disease, 21 moderate, 11 severe forms. The course of treatment included 8-10 daily sessions lasting 30 minutes. A marked clinical response was achieved in 41 patients. The cessation of the asphyxia attacks in them allowed discontinuation or reduction of glucocorticoids administration. The duration of the exacerbations became shorter. The irradiation also stimulated the blood antioxidant system.
