Introduction.The study was devoted to assessing the effectiveness of laser therapy in the treatment of spondylogenic radiculoischemias. Low-intensity laser therapy and vaporization technology were used.Aim – to improve treatment and outcomes in patients with compression of the spinal roots in herniated intervertebral discs using various methods of laser therapy.Materials and methods. In two groups, the results of treatment of 225 patients with clinical manifestations of spondylogenic lumbosacral radiculoischemias were analyzed using laser therapy techniques. In 115 cases (group 1), laser treatment was performed using the method of puncture polychannel laser disk decompression. In 110 patients (group 2), low-intensity percutaneous laser therapy was used. The dynamics of the clinical and neurological manifestations of the disease was recorded: the time of pain syndrome reduction, the dynamics of motor and sensory disorders of the corresponding root, changes in parameters according to the Roland-Morris and Oswestry Disability questionnaire.Results. In both groups, an improvement in clinical and neurological manifestations was obtained: the intensity of pain syndrome according to VAS decreased in more than 70 % of the observed individuals. A significant improvement in the parameters of vital activity was revealed according to scales with a long-lasting effect (more than 12 months) with an improvement in the blood supply to the spinal roots.Conclusion. Laser radiation has significant clinical effectiveness; the important parameters are the wavelength and rate of the radiation. Structural-modifying action and improvement of microcirculation (of arterial and venous bed) are achieved. Evaluation of the effectiveness of polychannel laser puncture decompression is advisable using scales and questionnaires. Low-intensity percutaneous laser therapy and monochannel interstitial laser therapy provide a targeted antiedemic and neuroprotective effect with the possibility of dosing and control. The treatment is highly effective and improves the prognosis of the disease.

The application of video improves the image quality and extends the applicability of the light microscope to an unprecedented degree. Rectified, Plan Apochromatic high N.A. objectives can be used at full condenser N.A. in polarized light, D.I.C., single sideband edge enhanced, brightfield, or fluorescence, etc., microscopy to yield exceptionally well-corrected images with high resolution and shallow depth of field. Contrast and image features barely visible through the ocular are clearly displayed after analog and digital video enhancement. Stationary image blemishes and random noise due to low light levels can both be removed, and either recorded- or current-dynamic images can be projected for pseudocolor, monochrome, and stereo display. Serial optical sections recorded on laser disk recorders can be played back at different through-focusing speeds, or as through-focal stereo pairs, to reveal extraordinarily fine cellular details. Several examples of such applications in cell biology will be demonstrated at the meetings.

In this chapter, we discuss the emergence of alternative products. Under conditions of severe competition, companies launch alternative products to gain the initiative and to promote increased sales, although the R&D and manufacturing cause large cost increases. In the case of the VCR, many alternative products, such as EVR, TED, and the laser disk, have existed since the 1960s and were improved many times in attempts to beat VHS. However, VHS (a magnetic recording system) remained the de facto standard until the DVD and HDD recorders replaced the VHS around 2000. Here we explain the reasons why VHS products were able to become the de facto standard for a few decades and how the alternative products, DVD and HDD recorders, ultimately replaced the VHS.
