The thermal properties of adipose and ceramic atherosclerotic plaque deposits and normal arterial vessel wall were measured in the temperature range of 25-95Β°C. In general, the data indicate that fatty plaques exhibit the lowest thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of the three types, where

## Background and objectives: To produce controlled, spatially confined thermal effects in dermis. ## Study designs/materials and methods: A 1 w, 1,500 nm fiber-coupled diode laser was focused with a high numerical aperture (na) objective to achieve a tight optical focus within the upper dermis o
## Background and objective: Short-pulse solid-state lasers have recently received much attention as new coherent light sources for medical applications, but steady transmission of their high-energy output pulses through a solid quartz fiber is difficult because of the onset of laser-induced breakd
Aim of the work was an investigation of ureter wall perforation possibility by various types of mid-infrared radiations (from 2.01 ΞΌm (Tm:YAG) up to 2.94 ΞΌm (Er:YAG)) and exploration of the interaction basic characteristic for ureter surface (epithelium) and its deep structures (mesenchym). From res
The thermal response of white fibrous atheromatous plaque to argon laser irradiation was compared with the thermal response of yellow fatty plaque and normal aortic wall to the same type of radiation. Samples of normal aorta, fibrous, and fatty plaque were irradiated in air with 3.5 Watts of laser p
