[Low-intensity infrared laser radiation in the diagnosis and combined treatment of acute nonspecific lymphadenitis of the face and neck in children].

Clinical course of acute nonspecific lymphadenitis of the face and neck is studied in 241 patients aged 1-14 years in order to improve the diagnosis and therapy of this condition. General clinical examinations were supplemented by laser biophotometry and assessment of the activities of some local defense factors (lysozyme, beta-lysine, secretory and serum IgA). Multiple-modality treatment for the first time included magnetic laser therapy (MLT), and its efficacy is assessed.

[The prevention of inflammatory complications in mandibular fractures by using infrared laser and magnetic-laser radiation].

A total of 102 patients with mandibular fractures were treated by multiple-modality treatment including infrared (IR) laser exposure and magnetic and laser therapy (MT). For monitoring the treatment efficacy and predicting its results, nonspecific defense factors and intensity of free-radical oxidation (FRO) in the saliva were assessed. IR laser and MT by the Uleĭ-2K device stimulated local defense factors, decreased the intensity of salivary FRO, and thus promoted the healing of mandibular fractures.

[The combined treatment of patients with progressive phlegmons of the maxillofacial area].

Based on assessment of the severity of endogenous intoxication, the authors developed a complex differentiated protocol for the treatment of patients with phlegmons of the face and neck, including electrochemical detoxication and intravenous laser exposure of the blood. Such treatment appreciably decreases endogenous intoxication, normalizes homeostasis, more rapidly arrests local pyoinflammatory process, and thus cuts down the duration of treatment and improves its outcomes.
