The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of intravenous laser irradiation of blood (ILIB) on system hemodynamics in patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) exacerbation. Ninety-seven patients with COB exacerbation were divided into two comparable groups. The 47 patients of the control group received conventional medication, while the 50 patients of the main group received the same therapy plus ILIB, which consisted of 10 everyday 20-min procedures. Central hemodynamic variables were measured prior to and after the treatment. The results demonstrated higher effectiveness of COB treatment when ILIB was applied and that ILIB itself had a positive effect on system circulation in COB exacerbation by changing hyperkinetic hemodynamics into normokinetic one. The study shows that it is appropriate to include ILIB into treatment of COB.

The eye is divided anatomically in three layers: an outer or fibrous layer (cornea/sclera), middle or vascular layer (uvea - iris, ciliary body, and choroid) and an inner or sensorineural layer (retina). They compose the several anatomic and functional layers that enable the immune protection of the eye. The first layer involves an intact anatomic border with the blood-ocular barrier and immunosuppressive neuropeptides in the native aqueous humor.
