A Comparative study between the efficacy of combined Intense Pulsed Light plus high-intensity focussed ultrasound in the treatment of atrophic and icepick scars.

Objective: To investigate the efficiency of high-intensity focussed ultrasound with intense pulsed light in the treatment of atrophic and icepick acne scars.

Methods: The interventional study was conducted between November 2021 and April 2022 at the Postgraduate Medical Physics Laboratory, Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad, Iraq, and comprised patients with atrophic scars in group A and acne scars in group B. They were treated first with intense pulsed light and then with high-intensity focussed ultrasound.

Evaluation of the effect of yellow laser (DPSS) light on human lymphocytes viability in vitro.

Objective: To evaluate the lymphocyte apoptotic impact of yellow laser light in vitro.

Methods: The experimental study was conducted from November 2021 to April 2022 at the Postgraduate Medical Physics Laboratory, Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad, Iraq, and comprised blood samples from healthy volunteers. The samples were subjected to 1:1 dilution in isotonic phosphate buffered saline, and each sample was divided into two equal aliquots; one for irradiation, and other as control.

Effect of 532nm and 589nm Diode-Pumped Solid-State (DPSS) Lasers with Different Doses on Concentration of Total Protein and Albumin in Vitro.

Objective: To test the effects of Low-level laser irradiation at 532nm and 589nm with different doses and exposure times on total protein and albumin in blood plasma.

Methods: This experimental study was conducted from November 2021 to April 2022 at Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad, Iraq, and comprised blood samples from healthy adults. The samples were stored in tubes containing anticoagulant ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid.

A comparison study of 589 and 650 nm on improving stored whole blood stability by irradiation with a low-power diode pumping solid-state laser.

Objective: To assess the effects of diode-pumped solid-state laser irradiation with 589nm and 650nm wavelengths on the stability of stored red blood cells in vitro.

Methods: This is an intervention study that was conducted from April to July 2021 at the Physiology and Medical Physics Laboratory, College of Medicine, Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad, Iraq, and comprised samples of healthy, adult human blood that were put in tubes with citrate-phosphate dextrose-adenine as an anticoagulant. The blood sample was divided into eight equal aliquots and stored for 21 days at 4ºC.

Design and manufacturing of a head mask for fixation in stereotactic radiosurgery by the Gamma Knife Icon™.

Background: This study evaluates an alternative to the classical method of head fixation during Gamma Knife radiosurgery using a Leksell head frame. In the Gamma Knife Icon™ model, a new method of head fixation is used by utilizing a thermal molded polymer mask that takes the shape of the patient's head before fixing the head to the table. However, this mask is for single use and quite expensive.

Fast tattoo removal using Q-Switching ND-YAG laser technique with multi pass sessions.

Laser therapy is the gold standard method to remove unwanted tattoos. It is available and widely accessible. This study was done to assess the efficacy of the R20 method (multi-time separated passes in one session for 20 min) using Q-switched ND: YAG laser for the removal of tattoos and was compared with the traditional method.

Biostimulation of Low-Power Diode Pumping Solid State Laser Irradiation on Human Serum Proteins.

This research is conducted to clarify whether the action of low-power diode pumping solid state (DPSS) laser doses modify proteins of normal human blood serum . Low-power laser light is considered to act through biostimulation rather than through thermal effects. It was found that low-power laser light biostimulates various biological processes, such as increasing the blood flow within the microcirculation.
