Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Fibers from Metalloorganic Precursors

Mixtures of yttrium acetate hydrate (Y(O2CCH3)3?4H2O) and aluminum formate hydrate (Al(O2CH)3?3H2O in H2O) or yttrium isobutyrate (Y[O2CCH(CH3)2]3) and aluminum isobutyrate (Al[O2CCH(CH3)2]3) in tetrahydrofuran were used as precursors to process yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG, Al5Y3O12) fibers. The pyrolytic decomposition patterns of Al(O2CH)3?3H2O, Y(O2CCH3)3?4H2O, and a [3Y(O2CCH3)3?4H2O/5Al(O2...

[A basic study of the interstitial laser prostatectomy using pulsed holmium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser].

BACKGROUND To develop a new procedure for laser prostatectomy through a biopsy needle, we evaluated the efficacy of interstitial laser irradiation with a pulsed Ho:YAG laser (lambda: 2.1 microns) in the normal canine prostate. METHODS Pathological studies were performed up to 6 months after interstitial laser irradiation in 26 mongrel dogs (15.4 +/- 2.6 kg). Two dogs underwent the identical p...

Minimally Invasive Management of Iatrogenic Ureteral Injuries with Ureteroscope Facilitated by Holmium Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet Laser

The ureter is vulnerable during general, gynecologic, and urologic surgeries. The traditional open surgical approaches to treating the iatrogenic ureteral injuries have shown several disadvantages such as relatively high rate of severe complications. Although the applications of endourological techniques for management of lower ureteral strictures have been routinely introduced over the last 10...
