Solvatochromic Dyes Track a Homeopathic Preparation through Water-Stream Systems in a Program to Control Tick Infestation at a Wild Animal Rehabilitation Center in Brazil.

INTRODUCTION: In 2021, the area of CRAS (Centro de Reabilitação de Animais Selvagens - Wild Animal Rehabilitation Center), located in a stat … complex. A static and average unidirectional magnetic field of 2,400 Gauss (240 mT), generated by a neodymium magnet, was applied to the samples immediately before reading. RESULTS: There were significant differences in the delta absorbance of dyes when adding treated/potentized water samples, making it possible to map the propagation of the FPU signal thr …

Treatment of watermelon stomach.

Watermelon stomach (WMS), or gastric antral vascular ectasia, is an uncommon but clinically important cause of chronic occult or overt gastr … echniques we currently use are argon plasma coagulation (APC) or heater probe. In the past, lasers (neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet , KTP, or argon) were successfully used for such treatments. An initial treatment interval of 4 to 8 weeks should allow for interim healing of iatrogenic ulcers. Patients are routinely given standard doses of available proto …

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: what the otolaryngologist should know.

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) or Rendu-Osler-Weber disease is a systemic autosomal dominant disorder involving blood vessels. Phenotypically, the disease presents with telangiectases that involve all areas of the body. Ninety percent of patients experience epistaxis and are referred to the otolaryngologist for evaluation. Because otolaryngologists may be the primary physicians caring for these patients, it is critical they be knowledgeable about high risk groups, screening protocols for arteriovenous malformations, antibiotic prophylaxis, and genetic screening. It is important th

Biosafety and efficacy evaluation of a biodegradable magnesium-based drug-eluting stent in porcine coronary artery.

Although the drug-eluting stent (DES) has become the standard for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-based revascularization, concerns remain regarding the use of DES, mainly due to its permanent rigid constraint to vessels. A drug-eluting bioresorbable stent (BRS) was thus developed as an alternative to DES, which can be absorbed entirely after its therapeutic period. Magnesium (Mg)-based BRSs have attracted a great deal of attention due to their suitable mechanical properties, innovative chemical features, and well-proven biocompatibility. However, the primary disadvantage of Mg-based

68Ga-Labeled Magnetic-NIR Persistent Luminescent Hybrid Mesoporous Nanoparticles for Multimodal Imaging-Guided Chemotherapy and Photodynamic Therapy.

Featured with a zero-autofluorescence background, superior signal-to-noise ratio, high sensitivity, and deep penetration ability, near-infrared persistent luminescence nanoparticle (NIR-PLNP)-based multimodal nanoprobes show great potential for full-scale noninvasive cancer diagnosis. However, direct synthesis of NIR-PLNP-based multimodal nanoprobes with high drug loading capacity to meet growing cancer theranostic demands remains a challenge. In this work, multifunctional hybrid mesoporous nanoparticles (HMNPs) that integrate NIR-PLNPs (Ga2O3:Cr3+, Nd3+), magnetic nanoparticles (Gd2O3), and r

Laser irradiation of bone: III. Long-term healing following treatment by CO2 and Nd:YAG lasers.

BACKGROUND: Relative few reports exist concerning healing of laser created osteotomies over an extended period of time. The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term healing, from 21 to 63 days, of osteotomy defects in the rat tibia created with the Nd:YAG and CO2 in the presence of a surface cooling spray of air/water. METHODS: The experimental model consisted of 15 large Sprague-Dawley rats. Six treatment modalities were randomly distributed among 6 tibial recipient sites: 1) a negative control (no treatment); 2) a positive control (bur osteotomy); 3) CO2 laser at 5 W (860 J/cm2); 4)

Clinical outcomes of two symmetrical Kera-rings implanted in grade three keratoconus: a retrospective nonrandomized study.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of implanting two symmetrical Kerarings via a femtosecond laser in grade three keratoconus. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a retrospective nonrandomized controlled clinical study. The study included one eye from each of twenty-three patients, all with Grade 3 keratoconus as classified by the Amsler-Krumeich classification. The ICRS surgery was performed with the patient under topical anaesthesia (benoxinate hydrochloride 4 mg/mL 0.4%). A tunnel channel was created by a femtosecond laser using a 60-kHz infrared neodymium glass femtosecond laser at a w…

One-stage retrograde approach to Nd:YAG laser palliation of esophageal carcinoma.

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: The aim of the present study was to determine the safety, efficacy, and feasibility of a one-stage retrograde approach to Nd:YAG laser palliation of esophageal carcinoma carried out under general anesthesia. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Endoscopic Nd:YAG laser therapy was used on 150 occasions in 62 consecutive patients with advanced malignant obstruction of the esophagus. All procedures were carried out under general anesthesia. The lesion was first dilated using a Savary-Gilliard dilator or balloon technique, and the endoscope was then passed beyond the lesion. Laser ene

Study of topical anaesthetic for paediatric laser procedures (STAPLE): a protocol for a feasibility and pilot randomised controlled trial.

INTRODUCTION: Cutaneous vascular anomalies and scars can cause significant physical and psychosocial difficulties for children, but can be ameliorated with pulsed dye laser (PDL) and neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser treatment. Given that multiple rounds of treatment are often required, and that the procedures are painful, achieving adequate analgesia is imperative in this setting. Paediatric procedural pain management guidelines suggest that multimodal non-pharmacological and pharmacological analgesia should be used for such procedures; however, the place of topical anae…

CONCLUSION: Often benign, this frequent accident can be serious in case of batteries or neodymium magnet insertion: the extraction becomes an emergency because of risks of nasal mucosa necrosis and/or nasal septum perforation. In other cases, positive pressure techniques (the parent's kiss or its variants) could be tried first in the emergency d …
