Laser therapy may constitute an efficient alternative to surgical treatment. Based on the research, data and experience of many practitioners, we can enumerate the potential advantages of laser therapy, such as bactericidal, detoxification and homeostatic effects and biostimulation. Laser treatment facilitates the eradication of bacteria and better wound healing [4,5]. It is also easy to use, p...

High energy lasers have extensive applications in the field of surgery, ophthalmology, dermatology, medicine and oncology. The utility of low energy lasers for biostimulation, immune response mediation and wound healing is of relatively recent interest. The current communication illustrates our experience with low energy laser (He-Ne laser) as an adjunct to the conventional modes of treatment f...

The co-contamination of soils with heavy metals and organic contaminants is a problem that requires different innovative approach to remediate these kinds sites. nature two contaminant groups makes the complicated. Recently, zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) application has been integrated bioremediation be used for remediation halogenated organics. However, use this process co-contaminated...

Laser devices are powerful instruments and are fully integrated in a dentist’s life working. They are mostly known for the thermal cutting properties, therapeutic lasers find a wide application in the regenerative and adjuvant medicine. The aim of this short review is to provide the definition of Laser Biostimulation, its last updates and applications in dentistry. Employing the photochemical i...

We investigated the possibility of re-using remediated soils for new bioremediation projects by spiking these soils with waste oil sludge in laboratory based microcosms. The level of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) reduction was high (>80%) in naturally attenuated microcosms and was not significantly improved by biostimulation, bioaugmentation and the combined treatment of bioaugmentation and...

Microbial enumeration, 16S rRNA gene clone libraries, and chemical analysis were used to evaluate the in situ biological reduction and immobilization of uranium(VI) in a long-term experiment (more than 2 years) conducted at a highly uranium-contaminated site (up to 60 mg/liter and 800 mg/kg solids) of the U.S. Department of Energy in Oak Ridge, TN. Bioreduction was achieved by conditioning grou...

Understanding the underlying mechanism that drives microbial community mediated by substrates is crucial to enhance biostimulation in trichloroethene (TCE)-contaminated sites. Here, we investigated performance of stable TCE-dechlorinating consortia monitoring variations TCE-related metabolites and explored their assembly mechanisms using 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing bioinformatics analyses. The...
