Preclinical assessment of a noncooled MR thermometry-based neurosurgical laser therapy system
CONCLUSIONS: This preclinical assessment showed that the noncooled LITT system was able to precisely reach the target and create well-defined lesions within a margin of safety, without any adverse effects. MR thermometry software provided an accurate near-real-time temperature of the brain tissue, and dimensions of the lesion as visualized by the software correlated well with histopathological findings. Further studies to test the system's efficacy and safety in human subjects are in progress.PMID:38457800 | DOI:10.3171/2023.12.JNS232154 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Comparative analysis of the therapeutic effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy and high-intensity laser therapy in lateral epicondylitis: a randomised clinical trial
This study contrasts the efficacy of high- ıntensity laser therapy (HILT) and extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in managing LE. A prospective, randomized comparative trial was conducted with 50 participants assigned to either HILT or ESWT groups. Both groups received standard physiotherapy (exercise program and LE bandages), and out comes, including tenderness, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand scale (Q-DASH), and grip strength, were assessed at baseline, 3rd weeks, and 12th weeks. The baseline features of the groups exhibited similarities (p > 0.05). In intra-gro...

Osteoblastic differentiation and changes in the redox state in pulp stem cells by laser treatment
In conclusion, photobiomodulation (PBM) with LLLT induced morphological changes and reduced cell proliferation rate, which was associated with osteoblastic differentiation and increased ROS a nd Δψm, independent of wavelength and time. (Source: Lasers in Medical Science)

Combined photodynamic therapy and transpupillary thermotherapy for small choroidal melanoma
CONCLUSION: Combined PDT and TTT achieved 81% tumour control in this study while preserving visual acuity. However, higher rates of local recurrence compared with brachytherapy warrant close follow-up to identify recurrences early.PMID:38431268 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcjo.2024.02.001 (Source: Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology)
