In order to verify the applicability of an YAG-neodymium laser to the therapy of various ENT pathologies, an experimental study was performed in which the effect of laser 1.06 microns radiation on the tonsils, polyps and mucosa of the nose was investigated. During exposure tissue temperature and radiation density at different depths were measured.

Successful Multi-Modal Laser Intervention and Histopathological Evaluation of Multiple Glomangiomas.

Department of Dermatology, Veterans Health Administration, San Antonio, Texas, USA.
Objectives: Glomangiomas are benign vascular malformations that exist within the spectrum of glomuvenous malformations which consist of varying amounts of glomus cells, vascular spaces, and smooth muscle. Glomangiomas are often treated due to associated pain, particularly when located on pressure areas such as the back or extensor surfaces, which can cause difficulty with certain activities and occupational functions. Histologically glomangiomas consist of prominent dilated vascular spaces lined by glomus cells typically situated in the deep-dermis to subcutaneous fat which limits treatment to modalities capable of reaching the depth of the tumor including excision, sclerotherapy, and laser therapy.

Article Synopsis
- * A thorough literature search identified 52 articles that provided concrete outcome data on the effectiveness of different treatments, with laser and light therapies showing the most significant results, particularly the Nd:YAG laser.
- * Despite some treatments showing improvements, the inconsistency in results highlights the need for a standardized scoring system to better compare effectiveness, indicating that more research is crucial for establishing reliable KP treatment guidelines.

Department of Ophthalmology, Willis-Knighton Medical Center, Shreveport, LA, USA.
Purpose: To determine the effect of early Nd:YAG (neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet) laser capsulotomy on objective and subjective visual quality in symptomatic trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) patients.
Methods: A single-center, prospective study examined symptomatic patients after bilateral cataract extraction with trifocal IOL implantation. A ten-question survey was conducted one month after surgery.

This 1-year prospective clinical trial was designed to assess the microbial, clinical, radiographic, and prosthetic parameters after disinfection of the implant abutment connection using Er,Cr:YSGG (erbium, chromium-doped: yttrium, scandium, gallium, and garnet) and Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium, aluminum, garnet). All the patients were divided into four groups; Group I: Nd:YAG laser, Group II: Er,Cr:YSGG laser, Group III: 0.2% chlorhexidine (CHx), and Group IV: steam disinfection.

Rationale: Nd:YAG (neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet) capsulotomy (Nd:YAG-caps) is the gold standard for the treatment of PCO (Posterior Capsule Opacification). There is a lack of real-world data about Nd:YAG-caps use.
Purpose: This study's objectives were to estimate Nd:YAG-caps incidence in France, to describe the patient characteristics, and to analyze the time between surgeries and capsulotomies.
