Until now, the problem of effective treatment of skin angiodysplasia remains relevant. To solve it and improve the results of the treatment of this vascular pathology of the skin, photodestruction by laser radiation is considered, which provides a selective effect on the skin with minimal damage to the surrounding tissues. For selective photodestruction in the treatment of angiodysplasia of the skin, one can consider laser radiation with a wavelength of 520 ± 5 nm in the "green" spectral range, located close to the absorption peaks of hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin chromophores. An experimental study in vivo on the combs of live white chickens was carried out to clarify the features of damage and the regeneration process in the zone of exposure to this radiation. We used an experimental sample of a solid-state laser apparatus based on semiconductor diodes, generating laser radiation with a wavelength of 520 ± 5 nm. The results of an experimental study in vivo confirmed the selectivity of the effect of "green" laser radiation of 520 ± 5 nm on subepithelial vascular structures with minimal damage to the epithelium, including the area of its growth. In irradiated areas, one could see whitening and smoothing of the surface due to closure of vessel lumens in the subepithelial zone and formation of collagenosis layer there, as well as epithelialization of wound surface in physiological term without any formation of cicatricial deformation of the skin. The prospect of using "green" laser radiation of 520 ± 5 nm for the purposes of selective photodestruction of angiodysplasia of the skin, which should ensure the achievement of a good clinical and aesthetic result of treatment, has been effective for selective destruction of angiodysplasia.

Gingival depigmentation with the help of lasers is known as an effective technique. The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of 980nm diode and CO2 lasers in the treatment of gingival hyperpigmentation. In this clinical trial study, 14 individuals (8 females and 6 males) with the age range of 19 to 47 years were selected.

Purpose: A synergistic treatment strategy of phototherapy and chemotherapy has been shown to improve efficacy and offer unique advantages over monotherapy. The purpose of this study is to explore a new nanocarrier system with liposome as the inner membrane and erythrocyte membrane as the outer membrane, which aims to realize the leak-free load of phototherapy drug indocyanine green (ICG) and chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX), prolong the circulation time in vivo and improve the therapeutic effect.
Patients And Methods: In this study, bilayer membrane-loaded ICG and DOX nanoparticles (RBC@ICG-DOX NPs) were prepared and characterized.

Urinary fistulae are abnormal connections between the urinary system and adjacent body parts, often resulting from factors such as infection, radiation, malignancy, protracted labor, gynecologic surgery, and gastrointestinal tract surgery. These fistulae can lead to persistent urinary incontinence, skin breakdown, social humiliation, psychosocial trauma, and severe infections. Current treatments include surgical repair, urinary diversion, and ureteral embolization, though these can have complications and are not always successful or feasible for all patients.

The immense energy footprint of desalination and brine treatment is a barrier to a green economy. Interfacial evaporation (IE) offers a sustainable approach to water purification by efficient energy conversion. However, conventional evaporators are susceptible to fluctuations in solar radiation and the salinity of handling liquid.

Background: Endodontic treatment aims in the preservation of extremely carious primary teeth. For root canal therapy to be successful, root canals must be properly prepared and effectively irrigated .Therefore, it is necessary to select the proper root canal disinfection method to preserve the primary tooth.
