PURPOSE To determine whether the hyporeflective areas in blue images obtained by widefield scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) correspond to non-perfused (NPAs) fluorescein angiograms (FA) eyes with diabetic retinopathy (DR). DESIGN Retrospective observational case series. METHODS Ninety patients diabetes mellitus (DM) were studied. All had undergone multicolor SLO imaging. The NPAs FA and exam...

Objectives − The aim of our article is to highlight the adverse effects midazolam, which causes abnormal behavior and a paradoxical behavioral reaction, although it used for sedation seizure control, as well preoperative procedure-related in neonates.Case Presentation We report myoclonic seizure-like activity four preterm neonates, who received intravenous midazolam before laser photocoagulatio...

Introduction: Our aim was to compare two types of lithotripter including holmium: YAG laser and pneumatic one in transurethral ureterolithotripsy (TUL) for the management of ureteral calculi ≥1 cm. Methods: 112 patients with ureteral calculi more than 1 cm were selected in randomized order for pneumatic or holmium: YAG laser transurethral ureterolithotripsy (56 patients in each group). Ultrason...

Introduction: Treating patients with trophic ulcers (TUs) of venous etiology (VE) is a complicated socio-medical and economic problem. One of the ways to increase treatment efficiency can be a complex therapy, including combined laser action. Methods: The objective of this study was a comparative evaluation of the efficiency of traditional treatment methods in patients with chronic venous disea...

Damage of the normal tissue is a serious concenrn in cancer treatment. Hyperthermia by laserhas been considered as a safe cancer treatments methods with lower harmful effects on normaltissues. Using nanoparticles in cancer treatment has improved laser therapy, which is based ona selective cell targeting method to localize cell damages. Metallic nanoparticles such as gold,silver, and copper have...

Background: Laser-tissue interaction on low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has widespread medical applications (e.g., improved wound healing). The tensile strength of radiated tissue by LLLT is known to be increased mainly because of cross collagen bands developed after radiation.Objective: In this work, we studied the instantaneous effect of radiation of polarized laser beam on the viscoelastic ti...

Background: Treatment of vitiligo remains an attractive topic and several therapies with varying degrees of success have been used. The aim of this study was to find out whether the combination of topical calcipotriol and excimer laser increases the efficacy of therapy compared to excimer laser alone. Methods: Twenty eight patients in two groups were treated with 308nm excimer laser alone (14 p...

in this work, laser bending of perforated sheets has been investigated numerically. laser bending of perforated sheets is more complicated than non-perforated sheets due to their complex geometries. in this paper, laser bending of perforated sheets is studied numerically in the form of thermo-mechanical analysis with abaqus/implicit code. for this purpose, the effects of process and sheet param...

pharmacokinetics of ceftriaxone was studied in buffalo calves (bubalus bubalis) after single intravenousand intramuscular administration of 10 mg/kg body weight. the drug concentrations in plasma samples weremeasured by high performance liquid chromatography with uv detection. following intravenousadministration, the drug was rapidly distributed (cpo: 106.5 ± 9.64 μg/ml; t1/2α: 0.09 ± 0.01 h; v...

conclusions this preliminary study showed that patients with kd and a high kobayashi score are at greater risk of being unresponsive to ivig treatment. further studies, preferably multicenter evaluations, are required in order to understand the exact application of various scoring systems in the management of people with kd in iran. objectives to evaluate the kobayashi scoring system with regar...
