[The immunomodulating action of ultrasound and sinusoidal modulated currents]
Abstract:
Leukocytes of normal donors and rheumatoid arthritis patients were exposed to low-intensity ultrasound or sinusoidal modulated currents. Depending on the initial values, expression of the receptors to sheep erythrocytes on T cells was either inhibited or enhanced. Similar effect was obtained upon a single local exposure to the above factors of the joints affected by rheumatoid arthritis. Lymphocytes from patients with chronic lymphoid leukemia differ from those of the donors by response to ultrasound.

01:17Ultrasonography
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.

01:18Sinusoidal Sources
Direct current (DC) refers to an electric current that flows in a single direction, maintaining a constant polarity. This is in contrast to alternating current (AC), which periodically changes its direction and magnitude. AC forms the backbone of modern electricity transmission and distribution systems due to its efficient long-distance transmission capabilities.
