Notes on the effect of microwave therapy on some clinical chemical parameters used for degree of radiation damage assessment

The study covers 33 patients undergoing high-frequency physical therapy where four clinical chemical parameters, namely alkaline phosphatase activity, sialic acid, cholesterol and triglycerides are evaluated before and after the procedure. Alkaline phosphatase and sialic acid make a part of a specialized diagnostic complex for dose determination in case of eventual exposure to ionizing radiation. In the early post-gamma-irradiation period, the listed indicators are subject to dose-dependent, statistically changes. As shown by the results none of the four parameters being examined is altered after physical therapy. The inference is drawn that alkaline phosphatase and sialic acid may be successfully used for dose determination in ionizing radiation conditions also when the patients are subjected to the effect of high-frequency physical therapy. The obtained results have important scientific and practical implications (author)
