Holmium laser sclerostomy: A clinical study [PDF]
A prospective study of 30 glaucoma patients (one eye in each patient) treated by an ab externo holmium laser sclerostomy is presented. An average of 40.2 pulses with an energy of 100 mJ was necessary to produce a filtering bleb. The average pre-operative intraocular pressure was 25.5 +/- 7.4 mmHg, with an average of 14.06 +/- 5.7 mmHg post-operatively ...

Endoscopic laser-ablation for the treatment of orthotopic and ectopic ureteroceles in dogs: 13 cases (2008-2017). [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Ureteroceles are a rare condition in dogs in which conventional treatments can result in substantial morbidity. Cystoscopic and fluoroscopic-guided laser ablation (CLA) of ureteroceles can successfully relieve obstruction.

ABSTRACT f–f electronic transitions of rare‐earth elements typically exhibit unique physicochemical properties that benefit the photocatalytic performance of the catalysts containing the elements. Although conventional rare‐earth metal oxides or single‐atom doping in semiconductors have been extensively studied, the construction of heterojunction ...

The influence of age and the presence of prostate cancer on prostate volume, PSA and PSA density
Objective To assess prostate volume (PV) changes with age in symptomatic and asymptomatic men with and without clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). In symptomatic patients, we additionally analysed the effect of age and csPCa on PSA and PSA‐density (PSA‐D) and compared these to current National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)

Effect of Laser Energy and Repetition Rate on Holmium Plasma Emission
The holmium plasma induced by a 1064-nmQ-switched Nd:YAG laser in air was investigated. This work was done theoretically and experimentally. Cowan code was used to get the emission spectra for different transition of the holmium target.
