Studies of the structure and functions of blood cells in senile patients with pneumonia on the biological model of hypoxia by scanning probe microscopy.

Biological model of hypoxia can be used for the diagnosis of functional changes in human erythrocytes under the effect of the hypoxic factor. The use of this model together with modern methods of scanning probe microscopy for evaluation of the severity of pulmonological disease in senile patients will help to predict treatment efficiency and outcome.
