We experimentally study the mass distribution of a sheet liquid tin formed by impact ns-laser pulse on spherical microdroplet. The is obtained using low-intensity, second pulse, which induces vaporization stretching thin sheet. This careful enables investigation thickness profile sheet, and its mass, at early times after laser droplet, have remained inaccessible methods used in recent work [B. ...

PURPOSE Vaporization techniques using lasers have gained wide acceptance for benign prostatic hyperplasia as an alternative to transurethral prostate resection. The high power, 980 nm wavelength diode laser is a new promising alternative with a more rapid ablation rate and excellent hemostatic properties, as shown in ex vivo and in vivo animal models. We prospectively evaluated vaporization eff...

PURPOSE A considerable percentage of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) also have additional cardiac pathologies, which often require anticoagulant therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) for BPH in cardiac patients receiving anticoagulant therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 67 patients suf...

In laser retinal photocoagulation, short 20 ms pulses have been found to reduce thermal damage to the inner retina, decrease treatment time, and minimize pain. However, the safe therapeutic window defined as the ratio of power for pr...

Pulsed laser vaporization has been used to produce nanooctahedra of MoS2 and MoSe2. The nanooctahedra primarily form in two- or three-layer nested octahedra, although nesting up to five layers has been observed. Tilting the TEM sample stage and mapping how the images of single particles transformed provided the evidence to verify their octahedral geometry. Analysis of 30 two- and three-layered ...

Objective: To review the initial experience of potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP). Materials and methods: Thirty patients with benign prostatic enlargement who underwent PVP at our institution between March 2007 and June 2009 were prospectively analyzed. The efficacy of the procedure was assessed using the International Prostate Symptom Sco...
