PERCUTANEOUS TRANS-HEPATIC LASER VAPORIZATION

Laser vaporization: a novel treatment of botryomycosis.

Botryomycosis is an uncommon, chronic infection of the skin most often caused by Staphylococcus aureus. It has been successfully treated using carbon dioxide laser vaporization in a case in which antibiotic therapy failed, and surgical excision was not feasible.

Percutaneous Trans Luminar Coronary Angioplasty and its Nursing Care

بیماریهای عروق کرونر، بخصوص نوع آترواسکلروتیک آن، از جمله بیماریهای شایع و ناتوان کننده و در اکثر موارد عامل اصلی مرگ در جوامع پیشرفته بشری می باشند. روشهای تشخیصی و درمانی این بیماریها نیز روز به روز تکامل یافته و نتایج امیدوار کننده ای را برای این بیماران به دنبال داشته است. P . T . C . A روش جدیدی است که به تدریج جایگزین جراحی بای پس کرونر خواهد شد. آنژیو پلاستی ترانس لومینار عروق کرونر از ...

Treatment of Afferent Loop Obstruction by Percutaneous Trans-Hepatic Biliary and Intestinal Drainage

We presented a rare case of chronic afferent loop obstruction after radical resection of gastric carcinoma. A 44year-old man was admitted because of “upper abdominal distension and abdominal pain for 3 months, skin and sclera jaundice for 2 weeks”. Abdominal CT revealed dilatation of the intrahepatic bile duct and common bile duct, a large, abdominal cystic lesion, as well as left adrenal gland...

Enthalpy Model for Heating, Melting, and Vaporization in Laser Ablation

Laser ablation is used in a growing number of applications in various areas including medicine, archaeology, chemistry, environmental and materials sciences. In this work the heat transfer and phase change phenomena during nanosecond laser ablation of a copper (Cu) target in a helium (He) background gas at atmospheric pressure are presented. An enthalpy model is outlined, which accounts for hea...
