- Abstract
Pulsed short waves are electromagnetic waves. They have been demonstrated to increase systemic blood flow without changing pulse or blood pressure. They also stimulate the activity of the reticulo-histiocytic system, increase gamma globulin levels and leukocyte infiltration, stimulate hematopoiesis. The aim of the experimental study was to monitor some hematological parameters before and after treatment: erythrocytes, hematocrit, hemoglobin, leukocytes, thrombocytes. For the experiment, white female Wistar rats were used, which were divided into four groups (no. = 10 animals groups I, II, III, no.= 5 animals group IV, control): group I exposed to a dose of 1/80 impulses/sec, 10 min/day, group II exposed to a dose of 4/400 impulses/sec, 10 min/day, group III exposed to a dose of 6/600 impulses/sec, 10 min/day, during 15 sessions, and group IV, the unexposed control group. The mean erythrocyte, hemoglobin, hematocrit, thrombocyte values increased after treatment (day 16), with statistically significant differences compared to day 1, before exposure to pulsed short waves, in groups I, II and III. The mean leukocyte values increased on day 16, with statistically significant differences only in group III
