A physicomathematical model of the temperature distribution 
over the surface and the bulk of a biological object (human palm) 
exposed to an ultrahigh-frequency electric field (40.68 MHz) for therapeutic 
purposes is presented. Various approaches to studying the propagation 
of laser radiation and radio-frequency electromagnetic waves in biological 
tissues are considered. The temperature distributions in various biotissues, 
obtained by numerical solution of the nonstationary heat problem, 
are presented
