Article Synopsis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition caused by pressure on the median nerve, and treatments like low-intensity laser therapy (LLLT) are being researched for their effectiveness in relief.
- A systematic review was conducted using multiple databases to analyze the impact of LLLT on symptoms like pain, strength, and hand functionality among 13 selected randomized controlled trials.
- Results showed that LLLT did not significantly improve pain or handgrip strength, although it had some potential benefits for hand functionality.

Laser-induced photothermal therapy using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has emerged as a promising approach to cancer therapy. However, optimizing various laser parameters is critical for enhancing the photothermal conversion efficacy of plasmonic nanomaterials. In this regard, the present study investigates the photothermal effects of dodecanethiol-stabilized hydrophobic ultrasmall spherical AuNPs (TEM size 2.

Exosomes are extracellular nanovesicles secreted by cells that efficiently deliver therapeutic cargo for cancer treatment. However, because exosomes are present in low quantities and have limited target specificity, internal and external stress stimulation has been studied to increase exosome efficiency. Inspired by these studies, the uptake efficiency of cobalt chloride-induced hypoxic cancer cell-secreted exosomes was evaluated.

Graphene oxide-mediated photothermal therapy using femtosecond lasers has recently shown promise in treating hepatocellular carcinoma. However, significant work remains to optimize irradiation parameters for specific nanoparticle types and cancer cells to improve nanomaterial-mediated photothermal anticancer therapy. This study investigated the photothermal potential of nGO and nGO-PEG nanoparticles (NPs) combined with femtosecond laser irradiation at 515 nm and 1030 nm wavelengths, with varying power (0.
