Diabetic retinopathy remains a major cause of worldwide preventable blindness. Measures to avoid blindness include medical management (control of blood sugar, blood pressure, and serum lipids) and ocular management (laser photocoagulation and pars plana vitrectomy). Adjunctive pharmacologic therapies (intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents) have ...

The integration of imaging and thermal therapy can provide a minimally invasive or even noninvasive alternative to breast surgery for small tumors. Ongoing trials seek to show safety and efficacy for laser, radiofrequency, microwave, cryoablation, and focused ultrasound surgery. To be successful, these therapies must achieve equivalent or even greater efficacy as surgical outcomes and must demo...

Diabetic macular edema is a serious visual complication of diabetic retinopathy. This article reviews the history of previous and current therapies, including laser therapy, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents, and corticosteroids, that have been used to treat this condition. In addition, it proposes new ways to use them in combination in order to decrease treatment burden and potent...

ABSTRACT: Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the leading cause blindness worldwide and laser therapy has a basic role in control diabetic retinopathy. Green therapies are performed both for proliferative macular edema. The aim our study was to determine frequencies different stages patients undergoing setup. Materials & Methods: This descriptive conducted at department Ophthalm...

introduction: providing desirable smile is one of the main concerns in cosmetic dentistry. hyperpigmentation is one of the esthetic concerns especially in gummy smile patients. lasers with different wavelength are used for oral surgery including carbon dioxide laser (co2), neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (nd:yag), erbium family and diode laser. in this case, all esthetic procedures inc...

Tailor-made blanks are sheet metal assemblies with different thicknesses and/or materials and/or surface coatings. A monolithic sheet can be machined to make the required thickness variations that is referred as tailor machined blanks. Due to the thickness variation in tailor machined blanks, laser bending of these blanks is more complicated than monolithic plates. In this article, laser formin...
