Possibilities of laser polarimetric diagnostics of umbilical blood and capillary maternal blood

A comparative analysis of the two types of samples showed differences in values of the statistical moments of the 3rd and 4th orders. In particular, the statistical moment of the 3rd order (asymmetry) is 2.5 times greater and the 4th parameter (kurtosis) is 2.5 times greater for the blood samples of newborns without pathological changes than the similar parameter for the blood samples of newborns with pathological changes. Fractal analysis showed the transformation of the distribution of power spectra from fractal for coordinate distributions of the Muller matrix element for blood samples without pathology to multifractal (fractal dimensions D1=1.66, D2= 2.90 and D3= 0.56) of blood samples with pathology. The diagnostic sensitivity of the statistical moments of the coordinate distributions of the orientation-phase elements of the Muller p34 matrix of higher orders (3rd and 4th) to structural changes occurring in blood samples of mothers of newborns with a normal physiological state and with pathological changes was revealed. In particular, with pathological changes, the statistical moments of the third order (asymmetry) decrease by 3.5 times, and accordingly, the statistical moment of the fourth order (kurtosis) increases by 2.5 times. The spread of the values of the statistical moments within the two groups did not exceed 5-10% of corresponding average values. The diagnostic possibilities of statistical and fractal analysis of the coordinate distributions of the elements of the Mueller matrix of blood samples of different physiological states of newborns and their mothers have been demonstrated. Fractal and statistical analysis of the coordinate distributions of the orientational elements of the Mueller matrix p33 are diagnostically sensitive when examining the blood of newborns. For maternal blood samples, the statistical analysis of the orientational-phase elements of the Muller p34 matrix (increase in the statistical moments of the 3rd and 4th orders with pathological changes) is diagnostically sensitive.
