Impact of infrared laser light-induced ablation at different wavelengths on bovine intervertebral disc ex vivo: evaluation with magnetic resonance imaging and histology.

Background And Objective: Percutaneous laser disc decompression is commonly used to lower high pressure in the nucleus pulposus in degenerative disc diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of diode laser disc decompression at different wavelengths (980-nm vs. 1,470-nm, i.

Prolonged survival using anti-CD20 combined chemotherapy in primary prostatic intravascular large B-cell lymphoma.

Here we report a case of a 73-year-old man with primary intravascular large B-cell lymphoma localized to the prostate. Total prostatectomy was performed due to a benign adenoma suggested by ultrasonography. The diagnosis of IVLBL was obtained incidentally from the prostatectomy specimen.
