The numerous medical fields like dermatology, ophthalmology and surgery widely use laser therapy including Q-switched lasers. This review aims to provide information on the application and effectiveness of Q-switched lasers in dermal and vascular lesions. Q-switched lasers play a crucial part in the athlete's foot treatment and onychomycosis both in mono- and polytherapy. Laser therapy remains the gold standard for tattoo removal. Additionally, laser therapy shows high effectiveness in melasma, telangiectasias and photoaging therapy. The ability to adjust precise laser parameters like length or beam energy provides tight control of the treated area, significantly reducing the risk of adverse effects.

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

December 2024
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.

A 63-year-old woman undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) presented to our hospital with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and cloudy PD effluent. An elevated white blood cell count in the PD effluent led to a diagnosis of PD-associated peritonitis. She was subsequently started on intraperitoneal cefazolin and ceftazidime, after which her condition improved rapidly.

Background: Managing lower pole renal stones presents clinical challenges influenced by various factors such as stone size, location, and density. This study aims to assess the efficacy, safety, and stone-free rates of Flexible Ureteroscopy (FURS), Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL), and Mini Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (Mini PCNL) for treating lower pole renal hard stones (< 2 cm).
Methods: A prospective single-centre comparative study was conducted on 414 adult patients with primary lower pole renal hard stones.

Objective: The objective was to systematically review original studies that assessed the influence of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) for managing peri-implant diseases among habitual nicotinic product (NP) users.
Methods: The research question was "Is aPDT effective for managing peri-implant diseases among NP users?" Indexed databases (PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, and ISI Web of Knowledge) and Google Scholar were searched up to and including December 2024 without time and language barriers. Using Boolean operators, the following keywords were searched in different combinations: antimicrobial photodynamic therapy; crestal bone loss; peri-implant diseases; probing depth; nicotine; and smoking.

Melanoma, an aggressive skin tumor, is prone to metastasis, significantly reducing patient survival rates once it occurs. Tumor microvascularity is a key factor in metastasis, making the inhibition of microvascular formation crucial. Emerging photothermal therapy (PTT) and microneedles (MNs) have garnered attention due to their non-invasive and controllable nature.
