Scrotal lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is an uncommon, benign skin disorder with multiple treatment modalities. We present staged treatment of extensive LC of the scrotum using staged carbon dioxide (CO2) laser ablation. We achieved near complete resolution of lesions with excellent cosmesis in the span of four months, from presentation to treatment. Therefore, the use of staged CO2 laser ablation should be strongly considered when LC presents in the genitourinary (GU) system, as it can lead to good cosmetic outcomes and prompt symptomatic relief in a short period of time.

Laser usage in veterinary dermatology has increased in popularity over the last several decades. Carbon dioxide (CO) laser is the leading modality in surgical laser for veterinary dermatology because of its unmatched performance with soft tissue, particularly the skin. This laser cuts and coagulates tissue via the photothermal effect of laser energy when interacting with soft tissues with high water content, such as skin.

Detection of trace gases, such as radioactive carbon dioxide, clumped isotopes, and reactive radicals, is of great interest and poses significant challenges in various fields. Achieving both high selectivity and high sensitivity is essential in this context. We present a highly selective molecular spectroscopy method based on comb-locked, mid-infrared, cavity-enhanced, two-photon absorption.

Rhinophyma, a severe manifestation of rosacea, predominantly affects Caucasian males aged 50-70 and is characterized by thickening and enlargement of the nasal skin. The condition can seriously both impact cosmetic appearance and obstruct nasal breathing. While its appearance is distinct, conditions such as basal cell carcinoma can mimic it, complicating diagnosis.

Under various atmospheric conditions, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a powerful technique for elemental analysis, including in Earth- and Mars-like environments. However, understanding the plasma behavior and its dependence on ambient pressure and laser parameters remains a challenge. In this study, a numerical model based on a three-temperature Eulerian radiation framework under non-local thermodynamic equilibrium conditions is employed to investigate the interaction of a nanosecond laser pulse with a graphite target under helium (He) and carbon dioxide (CO atmospheres.
