Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alexey V Yuzhakov"
- Alexey V Yuzhakov's recent research focuses on the utilization of infrared (IR) laser technology to modify the structural and mechanical properties of collagenous tissues, particularly costal cartilage and corneas, for biomedical applications, most notably in surgery.
- His studies demonstrate that moderate heating from IR laser irradiation can induce nondestructive structural changes in the tissues, allowing for reshaping and stress relaxation, which is critical for applications like autoimplantation and enhancing tissue interaction with implants.
- Using advanced optical techniques such as speckle-contrast and optical coherence elastography (OCE), Yuzhakov explores the intricate relationship between thermal stresses, temperature, and tissue modification, revealing important insights into optimizing laser treatment protocols for improved patient outcomes.
