Progress of medical lasers: Fundamentals and Applications

[Standards in Medical Informatics: Fundamentals and Applications].

The use of computers in medical practice has enabled novel forms of communication to be developed in health care. The optimization of communication processes is achieved through the use of standards to harmonize the exchange of information and provide a common language for all those involved. This article describes the concept of a standard applied to medical informatics and its importance in t...

Progress of nanotechnology for phototherapy: Fundamentals and applications

Nanotechnology (nano-materials and nano-process) has been developed for both industrial and medical applications. The use of nano-medicine has been used in bio-imaging and bio-sensing, drug delivery, cancer cell diagnostics and therapeutics [1,2]. Nanoparticles (NPs) can cause tumor cell death by photothermal ablation, photodynamic toxicity, mechanical damage, or increase in the localized drug ...

Iron doped TiO2 photocatalysts for environmental applications: fundamentals and progress

Many recent studies have been reported on the photodegradation of the organic compounds in industrial wastewater in the presence of TiO2 semiconductor as photocatalyst. Heterogeneous photocatalysts using Iron as a dopant metal, so far, have been reported for various environmental applications. This paper highlights the recent advances and applications of Fe-TiO2 photocatalysis for the degradati...

1 Lasers : Fundamentals , Types , and Operations

The acronymLASER, constructed fromLightAmplification byStimulatedEmission of Radiation, has become so common and popular in every day life that it is now referred to as laser. Fundamental theories of lasers, their historical development from milliwatts to petawatts in terms of power, operation principles, beam characteristics, and applications of laser have been the subject of several books [1–...
