Autogenous rhythms and self-organization of biological fluids

Abstract

The process by which biological fluids are crystallized makes it possible to identify rhythmic undulatory oscillations occurring in the liquid phase of the medium. Pathological changes in the body impair physiological rhythms at different levels, these impairments being reflected in the biocrystalline structure of a biological fluid during its self-organization. Targeted modifications of the rhythm characteristic of a biofluid may help to evaluate the resistance of the organism to environmental factors.
