Lasers (Laser)

An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.

1.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 01/01/2023 - "In mouse xenograft models, tRAPs preferentially accumulated in tumors and dramatically eradicated tumors with laser irradiation. " 12/01/2022 - "This endurance rate has prompted the foundation of the standards of tumor extraction with most extreme tissue saving and more up to date endoscopic laser-helped methods for auto-digestive region malignant growths targeting diminishing operational morbidity without influencing the general endurance. " 08/01/2022 - "Moreover, anti-PD-1 therapy blocked the PD-1 pathway and led to remarkable anti-tumor efficacy against laser-irradiated primary tumors and distant tumors by potentiating systemic tumor specific T cell immunity. " 01/01/2022 - "Both in vitro and in vivo experiments confirm remarkable therapeutic efficacy of the present phototheranostic platform under NIR-II laser through the CDT/PCT/PTT trimodal combination therapy, achieving complete inhibition of tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice after administration of dpGCS NCs plus a single NIR-II laser irradiation. " 10/06/2021 - "Most of the tumors in B16F10-bearing mice are eradicated after single laser irradiation. "
2.	Cicatrix (Scar) 10/13/2022 - "The aim of this study was to compare and rank the efficacy of laser and IPL therapies to determine the most effective treatment method for pathological scars. " 04/25/2024 - "Most body regions showed improvement in modified Vancouver Scar Scale (mVSS) score with laser treatment. " 01/01/2023 - "The VSS scores decreased significantly after laser treatment ( p < .05), with the most significant improvement in scars in the group that started treatment 1 month after the surgery. " 08/01/2021 - "The addition of surgical treatments to Fractional Laser Systemes (FLS) therapy delivers the best treatment results for Icepick scars. " 01/01/2020 - "While most often used for aesthetic purposes, lasers also have applications in the management of scars. "
3.	Pain (Aches) 01/01/2020 - "Most of the studies reported significant reduction of pain by the use of the laser during TMD treatment. " 01/01/2022 - "In terms of relieving pain, HILT demonstrated the highest probability of being among the most effective treatments, with surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) = 100%, and compared to a control (placebo laser or exercise or a combination of both) on the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain it demonstrated significant benefits (WMD 1.66, 95% CI 1.48-1.84). " 11/01/2018 - "Laser setting 1 had the best results regarding pain and patient satisfaction, although not statistically significant (P > 0.05). " 01/01/2016 - "Laser acupuncture is a promising treatment modality to reduce the pain and suffering of RA patients because of its efficiency in inhibiting most of the main factors involved in the pathogenesis of this disease. " 06/30/2022 - "Acupuncture is proven to be an effective treatment for pain and can restore nerve functions, and laser acupuncture is one of the modalities. "
4.	Macular Edema 03/01/2000 - "Macular edema disappeared or was dramatically reduced in all cases after laser treatment. " 01/01/1990 - "In most cases, diabetic macular edema is treated successfully with central laser photocoagulation. " 08/01/2009 - "However, focal/grid laser photocoagulation continues to be the only proven safe and effective treatment for diabetic macular edema." 06/01/2000 - "Overall, grid laser photocoagulation for diabetic macular edema is a very cost-effective treatment based on the results of this cost-utility analysis." 10/01/2015 - "Focal laser photocoagulation remains the gold standard for macular edema not involving the fovea (and therefore usually good visual acuity). "
5.	Acne Vulgaris 07/01/2021 - "The 1064 nm Nd: YAG Quasi-longed pulse laser was found to be safe and highly effective for the treatment of facial acne. " 03/01/2022 - "Lasers have been shown to be effective and safe to treat acne; intense pulsed light (IPL) demonstrates high efficacy rates, minimal discomfort, rapid recovery times, and excellent cosmetic and therapeutic outcomes. " 01/01/2011 - "Many laser and light-based treatments have shown excellent clinical results in the reduction of inflammatory acne lesions and improved acne severity. " 08/01/2017 - "The PDL treatment in this study reveals no significant improvement in acne therapy; however, the patients were satisfied with this laser treatment." 01/01/2015 - "Significant improvement in acne was seen in both the combined (laser and peel) and chemical peel alone treatment arms (P < .0005 and P = .001).
