in russia (formerly ussr) study of biomodulation action (bma) mechanisms of low-intensity laser irradiation (lili) began in 1964, immediately after the development of lasers. during the period from 1965 to 1972 several dozens of scientific conferences were held, hundreds of studies were published. generally, secondary mechanisms and results of lili effect on patients with various diseases were ...

Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery has grown in popularity among ophthalmologists as a novel technique with the potential to reduce phacoemulsification energy requirements.1,2 However, early adoption of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery by experienced cataract surgeons has been associated with a significant learning curve.3 Roberts et al. reported higher complication rates in...

AIM To define the financial and management conditions required to introduce a femtosecond laser system for cataract surgery in a clinic using a fuzzy logic approach. METHODS In the simulation performed in the current study, the costs associated to the acquisition and use of a commercially available femtosecond laser platform for cataract surgery (VICTUS, TECHNOLAS Perfect Vision GmbH, Bausch ...

the nervous system has an important and vital role in the human body, but unfortunately the repairment of damaged nervous tissue is very slowly. for a long time, the scientists have been involved in finding ways to speed up this process. radiation of low power he-ne laser has been suggested to as a way to improve this issue. in this study, 20 rats were divided randomly into control and case gro...

Fetoscopic laser surgery for severe twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) has become the optimal treatment choice since the release of the Eurofetus randomized clinical trial. These techniques have been adopted throughout the globe, and many institutions have instituted or will soon institute fetoscopic laser surgery procedures; however, laser surgery has a steep learning curve because of the f...

This case report a rare case of 67-year-old man, presented with Marfan’s syndrome, cataract and crystalline lens dislocation of the left eye. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of the left eye was 0.2. Cataract surgery was asissted by femtosecond laser LenSx. One month after surgery uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of the left eye was 0.9, BCVA with sph. +1.5 was 1.0. Intraocular lens have...

Lasers have become a popular tool in veterinary practice, particularly the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser. In humans, the CO2 laser is used most commonly in oral and maxillofacial soft tissue surgery due to its favorable interactions with oral soft tissues. Other types of lasers are better suited for use on hard tissues such as enamel and dentin. This article reviews the history of laser use, physi...

INTRODUCTION Laser surgery as an alternative for conventional surgical procedure has gained special attention. Using Carbon Dioxide (CO2) laser has some benefits like less post-operative pain, swelling and infection, decrease in risk of metastasis and edema, and less bleeding providing dry sites for surgery. CASE REPORT A 12 years old boy with lingual frenum with indication for excision was r...

Labial frenectomy is a common surgical procedure in the field of oral surgery. Labial frenectomy is a procedure usually done for orthodontic reasons. The role of laser surgery in the oral cavity is well established. The use of diode laser frenectomy without infiltrated anaesthesia is currently under investigation. Needle-less oral surgery, without infiltrated anaesthesia, is a novel situation i...

Cataract surgery techniques have evolved from intracapsular cataract surgery to extracapsular cataract surgery (ECCE) to phacoemulsification, with a progressive decrease in the size of the surgical wound and increased safety and predictability of the surgical procedure. Cataract surgical techniques and intraocular lens (IOL) technologies continue to evolve to provide patients with the optimum p...
