Effects of Nd-YAG laser on carcinogenesis.

Characterization of Nd: Yag Laser Radiation Effects on Ti6Al4V Physico-Chemical Properties: An In Vivo Study

The effect of a Nd: YAG laser (1064 nm) has been studied on Ti6Al4V alloy in terms of optical and physical parameters for biomedical applications. The superior surface microhardness hardness (i.e. 377 VHN) is attributed to grain refinement associated with laser melting and rapid solidification. The electrochemical property, mainly pitting corrosion resistance, has been carried out in Hanks salt...

Nd-YAG Laser Treatment of Pilonidal Cysts

A 38 year-old girl with a recurrent suppurative pilonidal cyst was successfully treated causally with an Nd-YAG laser, and with no recurrence at the 3-month follow-up. A similar success is observed for another 15 consecutively treated patients, including suppurative cases. The effect could be attributable to the ability of the YAG-laser to operate at a wave-length of 1064 nm and to penetrate th...

Subdermal Nd-YAG laser for axillary hyperhidrosis.

BACKGROUND Axillary hyperhidrosis is a common but difficult-to-treat condition with major social, labor, and emotional consequences. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to present the Nd-YAG laser as a safe and effective option for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2002 to April 2007, 17 patients (15 women and 2 men) with axillary hyperhidrosis were ...

Endoscopic Nd : YAG laser treatment ofrectosigmoid cancer

Forty nine patients with rectosigmoid carcinoma considered unsuitable for surgery underwent endoscopic Nd:YAG laser treatment for paliiation of symptoms and tumour eradication, if feasible. Altogether 25 (51%) of the lesions had distal margins less than 7 cm from the anus and 36 (73%) extended above the peritoneal reflection. In seven patients with tumours less than 3 cm in diameter, symptomati...
