Article Synopsis
  • Enterococcus faecalis is a highly resistant bacterium commonly found in root canal infections, prompting research into innovative disinfection methods like photoinactivation with visible light.
  • This study focused on how femtosecond laser irradiation affects vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis V583, assessing the impact of wavelength and energy density on bacterial viability and growth.
  • The results revealed that wavelengths of 430 nm and 435 nm at a fluence of 1000 J/cm significantly reduced the bacteria's viability by nearly 98% and emphasized the need to optimize laser parameters for effective bacterial inactivation.

The purpose was to compare the effects of diet and exercise and laser interference and maneuver on anthropometric parameters and blood effects of object agents. The study was a randomized controlled longitudinal study. It included 45 adolescents from both sexes who were divided randomly into two groups: one group was treated with low calorie diet and exercise as group A and group B was treated with low calorie diet, exercise, and laser acupuncture.

Laser acupuncture is widely used as an alternative line of treatment in several chronic pediatric diseases. To investigate whether biostimulation by low-level laser on acupuncture points adds a clinical benefit to conventional physiotherapy in hemiplegic spastic cerebral palsy (CP) children. Forty spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy children by age 1-4 years were chosen from the pediatric outpatient clinic of the National Institute of Laser Enhanced Sciences (NILES), Cairo University, and Menofyia University hospitals.
