Prospects for the use of silicon terahertz sources for the treatment of pulmonary pathologies and affections caused by COVID-19

Abstract

Highly effective treatment of patients with pulmonary pathologies, including pathology caused by a new type of coronavirus infection, is demonstrated, using terahertz (THz) irradiation from a silicon nanosandwich structure (SNS) that is caused by the quantum Faraday effect under the stabilized drain-source current conditions. It was shown that the early (on the first day) use of the THz irradiation made it possible to reduce the patient's stay in the intensive care unit as well as the duration of the patient's intubation and mechanical ventilation, to reduce the radiological and pharmacological load on the patient, and increase the chances of a favorable prognosis in patients with risk factors.
