German data show an increase in both benign prostate enlargement (BPE) and carcinoma of the prostate. In 1901 the introduction of anesthesia made the Freyer operation possible, and using electricity enabled transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) in the 1920s. In 1991 Hofstetter was the first physician to laser prostate tissue by means of interstitial laser coagulation. Twenty years later 80% of the BPE operations in the USA were carried out by mostly outpatient photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP). In France, this method was declared a standard in December 2012. Our experience with Medilas100 and re-sterilized quartz fibers dates back to 1988 and includes the laser treatment of 4000 urothelial tumors and 2000 BPEs (as presented at nearly 60 congresses). In 1996 the 50 W, 980 nm diode laser replaced the scalpel and reduced costs to 45% of the pre-laser era. Today portable laser devices with over 100 W and using an extremely wide variety of wavelengths operate for 100,000 maintenance-free hours and facilitate cutting, sawing and drilling in tissue, teeth and bones with bare fibers. Currently a method using beam reflection indicates when the beam is entering or leaving the tumor and Raman spectroscopy is being introduced as new diagnostic method for tissue differentiation. The proton laser DRACO has been tested at the Dresden Center OncoRay. It destroys only tumor tissue without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue. It is possible to use a laser anywhere where there is an electric source – in high-tech mega-clinics as well as in Red-Cross/Half Moon disaster relief tents. All laser physicians should publish their results, so that others can follow and prove the method.

Materials and methods: Sixty-three rats were distributed into three groups: 1) injured control group (CG), 2) injured treatment group at 10 J/cm2 (G10), and 3) injured treatment group at 50 J/cm2 (G50). Histopathological analysis and mRNA genes expression were evaluated after 7, 14 and 21 days post-injury. Results: At day 7, G10 presented a smaller necrosis area compared to CG and G50. Fourteen days post-surgery, G10 and G50 presented a smaller amount of inflammatory cells and a better tissue organization compared to CG. On day 21, G10 and G50 showed better muscle structure than the control. A significantly decreased COX-2 expression was observed in groups G10 and G50 at day 7 compared to the control animals. No difference was found among the experimental groups after 14 days, but G50 presented statistically higher COX-2 down-regulation at day 21. VEGF expression decreased in the first period analyzed in both treatment groups, increased after 14 days in G10, and increased after 21 days in G50. Both irradiated groups had a higher MyoD expression in all the evaluated periods and myogenin levels increased after 14 days in both treatment groups and in G10 after 21 days. Conclusion: 780-nm laser therapy had positive effects during muscle regeneration through the gene expression modulation related to the inflammatory process and the new muscle fibers formation, in both fluencies used in the present study, but the fluence of 10 J/cm2 was more efficient.

Medical laser applications represent a constantly growing part of the photonic market, more recently driven by diagnostics than therapy. And the story carries on and the wheel continues to turn. Compact lasers with high effectiveness and reliability at comparably low costs have become available and new wavelengths are being added “daily” which are opening up new future perspectives. To transform a laser into a successful medical device requires intense and careful cooperation between industry and research coupled with commitment and a feeling for the right moment. Evaluation of medical and social benefits, the power of competing techniques, rules and regulations, financing and reimbursement issues all play their role in the development and placement of a medically approved device or procedure. Furthermore all medical procedures need continuous reevaluation with respect to competing techniques and to their usefulness and clinical outcome. This panel will focus on how cooperation can ensure the success of biophotonic innovations from bench to bedside with the help of clinicians, researchers, engineers and innovators from industry. Medical, scientific and industrial representatives will provide information about their specific tasks and their efforts to launch a specific device or procedure.","PeriodicalId":20126,"journal":{"name":"Photonics & Lasers in Medicine","volume":"11 1","pages":"103 - 103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87962806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, several variants of these new approaches were proposed and demonstrated essentially independently and are based on significantly different principles. Despite the seeming differences, these techniques open up interesting prospects not only for independent usage, but also for combined implementation to provide a multifunctional investigation of elasticity of biological tissues and their rheological properties in a wider sense.","PeriodicalId":20126,"journal":{"name":"Photonics & Lasers in Medicine","volume":"11 4 1","pages":"295 - 309"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75216407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many applications of OCT in areas such as dermatology, endoscopy and others require contact OCT probes which transfer compression to the studied tissues. This effect should be taken into account when developing methods for OCT diagnostics. On the other hand, controlled compression can provide additional diagnostic information and can serve as a diagnostic procedure. This paper discusses the effect of controlled mechanical compression induced by an OCT probe coupled with dynamometer on cross-polarization OCT images of skin. Registration of OCT images in two polarizations (parallel and orthogonal) allows additional information to be obtained about structural features of the studied tissue. An increase in contrast of epidermis/dermis junction and a decrease in contrast of stratum corneum/epidermis junction in OCT images are shown to originate from mechanical compression of human skin in vivo which could be associated with structural and functional changes induced by compression. In order to confirm the origin of the contrast in OCT images induced by mechanical compression, Monte Carlo simulations were performed; the results of which are in qualitative agreement with experimental results.","PeriodicalId":20126,"journal":{"name":"Photonics & Lasers in Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"363 - 372"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88771812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This includes endoscopic lithotripsy techniques to reduce the urolith size prior to removal. In this context, stone repulsion constitutes an undesired effect of the mechanical impact on the stones and should therefore be minimized to facilitate the intervention and to improve its outcome. Objectives: To compare the repulsion characteristics of two stand-alone, handheld lithotripsy devices (LithoBreaker® and StoneBreaker™) and one Ho:YAG laser using dedicated test models. Materials and methods: Tests with single-use mechanical probes (1 and 2 mm in diameter) as well as Ho:YAG laser pulses delivered by optical fibers with core diameters of 230, 365 and 600 μm were conducted in underwater set-ups by measuring displacements of non-breakable spherical test masses (steel balls having diameters of 3–5 mm and masses of 0.12, 0.27 and 0.52 g respectively; and a lead ball with a diameter of 5 mm and a mass of 0.72 g). The tests were carried out in an acrylic glass tube with an inner diameter of 12 mm used as an ureter model and on a pendulum set-up. Additionally, hard and soft dampers were compared in case of the LithoBreaker®. Mean and standard deviations of the displacements and related quantities were evaluated for all sets of experiments and statistical analyses were performed (Student’s t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, Shapiro-Wilk test) to test the influence of device type and device parameters. Results: The repulsion distance in the ureter model using the 1-mm probes was 19.4±1.9 cm with hard and 21.5±2.7 cm with soft damper for the LithoBreaker® device and 20.3±3.0 cm for the StoneBreaker™ device (with standard damper). The repulsion distance using the 2-mm probes was 14.8±1.3 cm with hard and 20.5±2.5 cm with soft damper for the LithoBreaker® and 17.1±2.0 cm for the StoneBreaker™. In pendulum tests, the 2-mm probes again resulted in smaller displacements than the 1-mm probes, except for the LithoBreaker® with soft damper. For a fixed probe diameter, no statistically significant influence of the damper was observed in case of the LithoBreaker® (p>0.05). However, the StoneBreaker™ with 2-mm probes produced smaller repulsions than the LithoBreaker® with 2-mm probes and hard damper. The pendulum tests with Ho:YAG laser pulses showed that the repulsion is proportional to the fiber core diameter and the laser pulse energy. The laser-induced momentum is about a factor 100 lower than the one generated with the mechanical lithotripsy devices. Conclusions: The electromechanical LithoBreaker® and the pneumatic StoneBreaker™ produced significantly different repulsions (p<0.05). The laser-induced momentum transfer is significantly lower compared to the mechanical lithotripsy devices (p<0.05).
