Temperature profiles were measured in large sections of bovine muscle and bovine liver exposed to single pulses from a clinical Nd:YAG laser. The data were analyzed with a photothermal model applicable to an incident gaussian beam including the effects of beam spread and heat flow. Closed form expre

โฆ Synopsis
We used a Nd:YAg laser fit with a fiberoptic cord and sapphire tip to drain subretinal fluid externally in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The direct contact between the laser and the choroid allowed for controlled cutting and coagulation of the intervening choroidal vasculature. The drainage was successfully achieved with no complication.

## Background and objective: It is well known that the q-switched nd:yag (qsnd:yag) laser works well in the treatment of blue-black tattoos and benign pigmented lesions. it is less well known that this laser can also treat traumatic tattoos after accidents. ## Materials and methods: Twelve patien
Titanium materials exhibit a property profile that is just as versatile as that of steel materials. Titanium materials therefore have outstanding properties, such as excellent resistance to corrosion and high strength values at low densities, which makes them ideal for use in the chemical industry a
A contact Nd:YAG laser with a sapphire tip was used to perform excisions in the eyelids of rabbits in order to compare the healing process and the wound strength to similar excisions made using a stainless steel blade. There was no bleeding from the excision made with the Nd:YAG laser; both groups s
