We report on a surprisingly efficient acceleration of ambient gas ions in the presence laser-irradiated nanoparticle. Near-infrared laser pulses with an intensity $2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{15}\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\mathrm{W}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$ are used to irradiate single CsCl nanoparticle surrounded by helium density around ${10}^{...

Flow cytometric test for analyzing the eosin-5-maleimide (EMA) binding to red blood cells has been believed to be a specific method for diagnosing hereditary spherocytosis (HS). However, it has been reported that diseases other than HS, such as hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) and Southeast Asian ovalocytosis (SAO), which are forms in the category of hereditary elliptocytosis (HE), show decr...

One of the successful treatments for cyclical mastalgia is bromocriptine evening primrose combination. A double blind study was applied on 80 patients with cyclical mastalgia. They were randomly divided into two groups (A and B). In group A, patients were treated by bromocriptine/evening primrose. To group B, LILT with specified dosimetry was applied, using a device that delivers He-Ne laser co...

Introduction The aim of the present study was to determine burn intensity in retinal laser photocoagulation based on laser parameters; wavelength, power, beam size and pulse duration, using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), fundus camera, physical eye model and computer simulation in a clinical study. Materials and Methods Participants were 10 adult patients between 50-80 years with prolife...

purpose: to evaluate the agreement between a new method for quantitative analysis of fundus or angiographic images using photoshop software and clinical judgment. methods: four hundred eighteen fundus and angiographic images of diabetic patients were evaluated by three retina specialists and then by computer using photoshop 7.0 software. four variables were selected for comparison: amount of ha...

We demonstrate a diamond Raman laser intracavity-pumped by a red semiconductor disk laser (~675 nm) for laser emission at around 740 nm. Output power up to 82 mW of the Stokes-shifted field was achieved, limited by the available pump power, with an output coupling of 1.5%. We also report wavelength tuning of the diamond Raman laser over 736 - 750 nm.
