The uveal inflammatory response was studied in 31 rabbits treated unilaterally with neodymium: yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) cyclophotocoagulation. Fifteen applications of 3.5-J energy were delivered to the dorsal and ventral perilimbal sclera using a contact continuous-wave system. On days 1, 3,
Two yttrium-90 (90Y) radiosynovectomy procedures were compared. One procedure, performed at the Royal Perth Rehabilitation Hospital (RPRH) required a shorter immobilisation time than that performed at the Sir Charles Gardiner Hospital (SCGH). There were no significant differences in outcome between
OBJECTIVE
Hypertrophic and exudative synovitis of the knee is one of the earliest symptoms in rheumatic diseases. In the case of pharmacotherapy failure, other methods which directly remove the inflamed synovial membrane are used - synovectomies. Radiosynovectomy (RSV) is the radiopharmaceutical
We investigated pulmonary clearance of yttrium (Y) and acute lung injury following intratracheal instillation (i.t.) of yttrium chloride (YCl3) in saline- or YCl3-pretreated rats (30 days before the second challenge). About 67% of the initial dose of Y remained in the lung even 31 days after the
Endoscopic neodymium yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd-YAG) laser treatment for endobronchial obstruction originating from the tumor provides a favorable outcome. A 67-year-old male patient with a chief complaint of cough and sputum had a primary lung cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) in the upper lobe of
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the thermal effects on periapical tissues of Labrador dogs after intra-canal irradiation by erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser at different powers based on the antibacterial experiment of Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli in root canals with an
Laser iridotomy is a safe and effective treatment of pupillary-block glaucoma; however, increased intraocular pressure (IOP) may occur after the procedure. A flow cytometric study of aqueous humor was done 1.5 hours after neodymium: yttrium aluminum garnet laser iridotomy in 20 eyes. This sensitive
Selective internal radiation therapy is a relatively new technique that irradiates primary and metastatic liver cancer using yttrium 90 microspheres. Increasing reports have shown this to be a useful treatment for unresectable primary hepatocellular carcinoma and others metastases from colon, lung,
BACKGROUND
The neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (NdYAG) laser therapy has been a popular technique for facial rejuvenation but certain adverse effects like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation are issues of concern to Asian patients.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the outcome following combined treatment
The histopathologic events in the developing acute pulmonary inflammatory reaction to inhaled particles of Yttrium 90 are detailed. In animals that died or were sacrificed during the first year after inhalation exposure, microscopic findings of acute inflammation predominated and included vascular
A 45-year-old female with a complaint of dyspnea was admitted to our hospital. Computed tomography (CT) and bronchoscopy revealed a 10 mm intraluminal polypoid tumor with a smooth surface and hemorrhagic tendency located in the tracheal wall 2.0 cm distal from the vocal cords. For pathological
Purpose: To determine cataract surgeon viewpoints on the efficacy of available therapies/preventatives for two common sequelae of cataract surgery: inflammation and posterior capsular opacification (PCO). Methods: Cataract surgeons practicing worldwide specializing in adult, pediatric
Rare earth metals are added to corrodible magnesium-based alloys in low amounts (up to 10%) to improve their mechanical properties and to decrease the degradation rate. Cerium (Ce), neodymium (Nd), yttrium (Y), and ytterbium (Yb) are already used for degradable cardiovascular stents. Little is known
OBJECTIVE
The efficacy of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser-assisted non-surgical mechanical debridement (MD) in the treatment of periimplant diseases remains uninvestigated. The aim was to assess the efficacy of Nd:YAG laser-assisted non-surgical MD on clinical and
