The effectiveness of transmeatal low-power laser stimulation in treating tinnitus.
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
May 2014
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of transmeatal low-power laser stimulation (TLLS) for treating persistent tinnitus through a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial with patients from outpatient clinics.
- Participants were divided into two groups: one received the actual TLLS treatment along with betahistine, while the other group used a placebo device and also took the same medication for 10 weeks.
- Although both groups showed improvement in tinnitus symptoms, comparing the TLLS+ group with the TLLS- group revealed no statistically significant difference in treatment outcomes.
Size-dependent two-photon excitation photoluminescence enhancement in coupled noble-metal nanoparticles.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces
September 2012
Plasmon coupling is known to enhance the two-photon excitation photoluminescence of metal nanoparticles significantly. Here, Au and Ag nanospheres of different sizes were prepared to systematically investigate the effects of particle size on plasmon coupling enhanced two-photon excitation photoluminescence. An oppositely charged polyelectrolyte, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA), was used to induce the coupling of Au and Ag nanospheres.

However velopharyngeal stenosis post radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma is rare. We present here a case of bilateral choanal stenosis and velopharyngeal stenosis in a patient treated with radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
