Laser therapy and biomembrane in treatment of venous ulcer

Abstract

s / Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy 12 (2015) 325–375 365 insulin resistance (IR), glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia and systemic arterial hypertension (SAH). The aim of this study was evaluate the effects of aerobic exercise associated with phototherapy on cardiovascular risk factors in obesewomen.Women (20–40 years; BMI ≥30kg/m2) were divided into 2 groups: Phototherapy (P) and Sham (S). They trained aerobic exercise on treadmill, 1 h, 3 times/week during 16 week. Phototherapy was applied after each exercise session for 16min, infrared laser, wavelength 808nm, continuous output, and power 100mW, energy delivery 50 J. The area of visceral fat was measured with Bioimpedance InBody® and the lipoproteins concentrations (HDL and LDL-cholesterol) were performed in the clinical laboratory. Statistical analysis was performed using the program STATISTICA version 7.0 for Windows (StatSoft Inc., Tulsa, OK, USA). Comparing the effects between groups the association of the Phototherapy plus Aerobic Exercise was more effective in change the cardiovascular risk. This effect can be observed through the reduction in LDL-cholesterol concentrations and visceral fat area as well as increasing the HDL-cholesterol concentration. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.pdpdt.2015.07.155 Laser therapy and biomembrane in treatment of venous ulcer Vitoria H.
