## Abstract ## Background Terahertz (THz) radiation sources are increasingly being used in military, defense, and medical applications. However, the biological effects associated with this type of radiation are not well characterized. In this study, we evaluated the cellular and molecular response

β¦ Synopsis
Mouse heteroploid fibroblasts were grown nine future generations in vitro tissue culture. The cells were exposed to argon laser, COz laser, and x-ray. Results of scoring for malignant transformation foci were tabulated and compared. Lasers did not produce a significant malignant transformation. Clinical laser use is reviewed and histology as well as long-term clinical experience confirms the safety of lasers.

Both CO2 and argon laser ablation of an agar substrate containing high titres of bacteriophage phi X174 create plumes which disperse viable phage particles. Irradiances at the beam impact site ranged from 73 to 215 W/cm2 for the CO2 laser and from 40 to 227 W/cm2 for the argon laser. To increase the
Background and Objective: Thermal denaturation of proteins is recognized as a rate process governed by the local temperaturetime response and is believed to be the principal mechanism for photothermal tissue welding. Since rate processes are exponential with temperature, feedback control of tissue s
The influence of linearly polarized argon laser irradiation (A = 488 nm and 514.5 nm) on the closure time of standardized open skin wounds was measured in rats. In two separate controlled experiments no acceleration of wound closure by laser irradiation was observed. In the first experiment the woun
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Carbon dioxide (CO~2~) laser resurfacing is primarily performed on photodamaged facial skin where patients are further exposed to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) postoperatively. We examined whether preβ and postoperative UVR influences the development of CO~2~
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Since the mechanisms underlying the effects of lowβpower laser irradiation on the nervous system remain unclear, we examined whether such irradiation can influence ionic channels of the nerve membrane using the law of polar excitation in isolated frog sciat
