Low-level laser therapy is an irradiation technique that has the ability to induce biological processes using photon energy. There are studies showing proliferation and angiogenesis after irradiation in skeletal muscle post-myocardial infarction tissue cells. Most evidence of efficacy is based on
Recent development of near infrared light therapy (NILT) as an acute stroke treatment is promising. In various preclinical animal stroke models, NILT has been shown to be effective in improving long-term stroke outcome. More importantly, NILT has a long postischemic therapeutic window that has not
This report describes an ischemic stroke following endovenous laser treatment of the great saphenous vein in a patient with a patent foramen ovale. No thrombophilic conditions or other possible sources of emboli could be demonstrated.
The paper presents the technique of frequency-modulated magnetolaser therapy (FMMLT) used in combined treatment of 121 patients with ischemic stroke in acute period. The results were compared with those in the control group of 30 patients who received conventional drug treatment. The results of the
Biomotors kinesin and dynein show us that robust track-walking is possible down to molecular scale. Here I design a laser-powered molecular locomotive that is able to do that on an easily constructed track. The core of the machine is its work cycle that periodically converts optical energy into
OBJECTIVE
Two randomized trials suggested that transcranial laser therapy (TLT) may benefit patients with acute ischemic stroke, although efficacy has not been confirmed. Supportive proof of concept could be demonstrated if TLT reduces the volume of cortical infarction.
METHODS
The NeuroThera
Near-infrared laser therapy (NIRLT) as a transcranial laser therapy (TLT) is currently being investigated as a neuroreparatory and neuroprotective treatment for acute ischemic stroke patients in a pivotal phase III trial (NEST-3). In this review we cover the theoretical background, experimental
OBJECTIVE
We hypothesized that transcranial laser therapy (TLT) can use near-infrared laser technology to treat acute ischemic stroke. The NeuroThera Effectiveness and Safety Trial-2 (NEST-2) tested the safety and efficacy of TLT in acute ischemic stroke.
METHODS
This double-blind, randomized study
We have demonstrated the feasibility of using laser doppler spectroscopy to map regional blood flow distribution on the surface of the cerebral cortex. Rhesus monkeys underwent craniotomy, with replacement of part of the calvarium by a transparent plastic dome. A stroke was produced on one side by
Collateral vasculature may provide an alternative route for blood flow to reach the ischemic tissue and partially maintain oxygen and nutrient support during ischemic stroke. However, much about the dynamics of stroke-induced collateralization remains unknown. In this study, we used laser speckle
A common experimental rodent model for stroke includes induction by a technique in which middle cerebral artery is transiently (MCAO-t) or permanently (MCAO-p) occluded by catheterization. However, this model has prominent disadvantages which consist of the high variability of Hemorrhagic stroke accounts for more than 15% of all stroke hospitalization with much higher mortality than ischemic stroke. In this study, we investigated the spatiotemporal changes of the cerebral blood flow (CBF) following intracerebral hemorrhagic (ICH) stroke by laser speckle imaging. Adult
Currently, a reliable method for real-time prediction of ischemia in the human brain is not available. Here, we took a first step towards validating non-invasive intraoperative laser speckle imaging (iLSI) for prediction of infarction in 22 patients undergoing decompressive surgery for treatment of
Clinical study of carotid artery laser endarterectomy began April 15, 1988. This report describes the first 10 cases that were performed in nine patients (five men and four women, mean age 70 years). Indications were asymptomatic stenosis (5), transient ischemic attacks (4), and stroke in evolution
