Laser biostimulation in end-stage multivessel coronary artery disease--a preliminary observational study.

Background: Low-energy laser radiation through its direct influence on tissue repair processes without heating effect may have vital importance in the therapy of patients with advanced coronary artery disease (CAD).

Aim: The introductory assessment of the effects of laser biostimulation applied to patients with advanced multivessel CAD.

Methods: 39 patients with advanced CAD were assigned (mean age 64.

[Experiences in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia with high power potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser].

Unlabelled: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) exist in about 70% men after 60 years old. High power KTP laser is a new tool for the treatment of BPH.

Material And Method: 49 men were treated by photoselective vaporisation of the prostate (PVP) from August 2003 to May 2004.

[Thermography in the early detection of breast cancer--our own experiences].

In combination with X-ray mammography and clinical examination thermography adds to the accuracy of breast cancer diagnosis. Thermographic examinations can be repeated at short intervals with no radiation hazard to the patient. However, performing and interpreting thermograms requires meticulous training.
