Clinically significant macular edema (CSME) is one of the leading causes of vision loss in diabetic retinopathy. The current standard of care for CSME is focal/grid laser photocoagulation. However, many patients experience further vision loss and/or require multiple laser treatments. In recent
Patients who have been chosen to undergo SLT for glaucoma will be randomized to receive one of prednisolone 1%, ketorolac 0.5% or artificial tears four times a day for 5 days following administration of the laser treatment. The IOP will be measured at various time points following SLT: 1 hour, 2
Over the past few years, laser in situ keratomileusis with a femtosecond laser-created flap (FS-LASIK)has been a popular ophthalmic procedure for the correction of refractive error. This first all-in-one FS-laser system was designed to perform the refractive lenticule extraction (ReLEx) procedures,
FLAK Instrument: The Femtosecond Laser (IntraLase Corporation, Irvine, CA) is a focusable infrared laser, similar to the more familiar neodymium-yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) laser, but uses shorter pulses in the hundred-femtosecond (100 X 10-15 seconds) duration range. There is minimal
The purpose of this research study is to compare two different implant abutment designs, microgrooved and machined. The implant abutment is the dental prosthetic part that connects the implant to the crown. As a part of this study, subjects will have a dental implant surgically placed in their jaw
The objective of this proposal is to adapt photoacoustic tomography (PAT), a novel, nonionizing, noninvasive, laser-based technology, for structural and functional imaging of human peripheral joints affected by inflammatory arthritis.
Combining the advantages of both light and ultrasound scanning,
Today, the one that stands out the most among these protocols is laser application which was concluded to be a support or be an alternative treatment approach to standart periodontal treatments . As the laser biostimulation therapy(LBT) has been investigated by means of anti-inflammatory and healing
Subjects will undergo Excimer treatment twice a week until they reach a PASI 75 improvement, or until they reach the maximum of 20 total treatments. A blood draw to assess serum inflammatory markers will be performed at the screening visit and final visit. Chromameter assessment, photographs, PASI
Glaucoma is the 2nd leading cause of blindness worldwide and affects over 2.5 million Americans over the age of 40. It is thought that elevated intraocular pressure causes damage to the optic nerve fibers which leads to silent vision loss in glaucoma. Therefore, the primary approach to managing this
Laryngotracheal stenosis is a serious disease significantly worsening the quality of life. Impaired breathing often leads to tracheotomy, deterioration of the voice leads to communication problems with others and swallowing problems are often present, as well The main causes of laryngotracheal
Advances in endoscopy have led to imagining of the details of digestive mucosa. Novel techniques such as Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) assisted magnification endoscopy, Auto Fluorescence Imaging (AFI) or confocal laser endomicroscopy could, however, improve the endoscopic detection.In this research we
SLT is used to lower intraocular pressure in glaucoma, but it is not know whether the choice of eyedrops administered in the post-operative period affects SLT efficacy. Practitioners commonly use steroid drops, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drops, or no drops at all. This is a randomized,
