Abstract:

Nowadays laser is extensively used in various industrial, communicative, medical, and other fields. Using laser in medicine has enabled physicians to perform the most accurate and finest operations within few minutes. Non-observance of safety points during laser performance could be seriously harmful for the medical staff and the patient. Therefore, in order to prevent the possible damage of this electromagnetic energy, some international standard points are advised. In this paper, a brief review of laser itself, the vulnerable parts during laser operation, maximum allowable radiation and etc are presented. We hope to help the physicians in offering medical services as safe as possible.

Actin-capping protein lets epithelial cells take the pressure

Shelterin protein keeps telomeres on edge A member of the shelterin complex helps moor telomeres at the nuclear periphery in worms, Ferreira et al. reveal. Telomeres protect the ends of chromosomes, and the shelterin complex protects telomeres, preventing them from triggering the DNA damage response. Yeast cells shove their telomeres to the fringe of the nucleus, and the marginalized structures...
