Abstract
A medical radiowave therapy apparatus (MRWTA) has been designed at the ´Research Institute of Radio Engineering Measurements´ joint-stock company after investigating the influence of radio-frequency EM radiation on the dynamics of pathological states in test animals with regard to RF EMR modes medically proven at the neurology and neurosurgery department. The MRWTA comprises the following: a carrier oscillator (generating, controlling and monitoring unit (GCMU)); a power amplifier; a square pulses sequencer; a power supply; a radiator with a stand. The EM radiation of the apparatus is a nonspecific adaptogenic factor causing optimized microcirculation and cell-membrane homeostasis for the conditions of initial cerebral ischemia. The observed hypotensive, sympatholytic and antinociceptive effects allow for the structural and functional properties of erythrocytes to be improved.
