Pressureless glass crystallization of transparent yttrium aluminum garnet-based nanoceramics.

Project description:Transparent crystalline yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG; Y3Al5O12) is a dominant host material used in phosphors, scintillators, and solid state lasers. However, YAG single crystals and transparent ceramics face several technological limitations including complex, time-consuming, and costly synthetic approaches. Here we report facile elaboration of transparent YAG-based ceramics by pressureless nano-crystallization of Y2O3-Al2O3 bulk glasses. The resulting ceramics present a nanostructuration composed of YAG nanocrystals (77 wt%) separated by small Al2O3 crystalline domains (23 wt%). The hardness of these YAG-Al2O3 nanoceramics is 10% higher than that of YAG single crystals. When doped by Ce3+, the YAG-Al2O3 ceramics show a 87.5% quantum efficiency. The combination of these mechanical and optical properties, coupled with their simple, economical, and innovative preparation method, could drive the development of technologically relevant materials with potential applications in wide optical fields such as scintillators, lenses, gem stones, and phosphor converters in high-power white-light LED and laser diode.

Efficacy and Safety of Semirigid Ureteroscopy Combined with Holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet Laser Lithotripsy for the Treatment of Proximal Ureteral Calculi: A Single-arm Meta-analysis.

Project description:Background and objectiveUreteral stones are currently treated with holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser lithotripsy using rigid and flexible ureteroscopes. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of semirigid ureteroscopy combined with Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy for treating proximal ureteral stones in real-world studies.MethodsThe PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched systematically to retrieve all relevant studies up to April 2024. A meta-analysis of the retrieved studies was performed using Stata 14.0 software and expressed as rate, mean difference, and 95% confidence interval (CI). The main outcomes of this meta-analysis were stone-free rate (SFR) and perioperative outcomes including operation time, hospital stay, postoperative ureteral stent placement, auxiliary procedures, and intra- or postoperative complications.Key findings and limitationsA total of 24 studies were included in this study, including 2058 patients with proximal ureteral stones. According to the results of the combined analysis, the SFR of semirigid ureteroscopy combined with Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy for the treatment of proximal ureteral stones was 78% (95% CI [75%, 82%]), operation time was 51.03 min (95% CI [43.5, 58.56]), hospital stay was 1.62 d (95% CI [1.54, 1.70]), auxiliary procedure rate was 20% (95% CI [15%, 25%]), and postoperative complication rate was 16% (95% CI [12%, 22%]).Conclusions and clinical implicationsThe results of this study show that semirigid ureteroscopic Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy is a commonly used treatment for proximal ureteral calculi, but its efficacy and safety need to be improved further, and its efficacy is not related to the diameter of the endoscope.Patient summaryThis study showed that Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy with semirigid ureteroscopes is commonly used for treating ureteral stones. However, its efficacy and safety need to be improved further, and future research should focus on these.

A Split-Face, Single-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Comparison of 532 nm Picosecond Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Laser versus 532 nm Q-Switched Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Laser in the Treatment of Solar Lentigines.

Project description:BackgroundSolar lentigines are the most common form of benign epidermal pigmentation and one of the major cosmetic concerns in Korea. A 532 nm Q-switched neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (QSND) laser is typically used for the treatment, but the occurrence of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is not rare. Recently, the use of picosecond (PS) lasers has emerged in pursuit of better outcomes.ObjectiveTo objectively compare the efficacy and safety of 532 nm PS and QSND lasers for the treatment of solar lentigines.MethodsTwenty patients with solar lentigines were enrolled in a prospective, randomized split-face, single-blind study. One side of each face was treated using a 532 nm PS laser, and the other side using a 532 nm QSND laser. After one treatment, all patients were followed up for evaluation after 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. The clinical clearance was assessed by three blinded dermatologists using a 5-point quartile improvement scale (QIS). Subjective satisfaction, development of PIH, pain scale during treatment, and adverse problems were also recorded.ResultsClinical clearance measured by QIS showed that the PS laser was more effective than the QSND laser. Subjective satisfaction and pain scale did not significantly differ between the two groups. The incidence of PIH was 5% in sides treated with the PS laser, and 30% with the QSND laser.ConclusionBoth 532 nm PS laser and QSND laser were effective for the treatment of solar lentigines, but the PS laser was more effective with less PIH development.

Restoration Integrity in Primary Teeth Prepared Using Erbium/Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet Laser: A Randomized Split-Mouth Clinical Study.

Project description:The most frequently used and universally accepted technique for removing caries is mechanical ablation of decayed tissues by rotating drills. New minimally invasive strategies, such as the use of lasers to perform highly controlled tissue ablation, have been introduced in dental practice. The aim of this study was to assess and compare treatment with a 2940 nm erbium/yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser versus a conventional rotary treatment during cavity preparation in children with regard to restoration integrity. In a randomized, controlled, blinded trial using a split-mouth design, 40 (9-12-year-old) children with 80 carious primary molars were included. The cavity in one quadrant was randomized to be treated conventionally using a bur, while the cavity in the other quadrant was prepared using an Er:YAG laser. At the one-year follow-up, clinical examinations were conducted to assess the integrity of the restorations according to the Ryge criteria. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 22 (IBM Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). The average age of the participants was 9.4 ± 1.29 years. Males accounted for 51.4% of the participants. The Ryge criteria showed clinical success of restorations, and there was no discernible difference between the conventional and laser intervention techniques. Over one year, no statistically significant differences in the clinical integrity based on the Ryge criteria were found following class I cavity preparation in primary teeth with either procedure.

Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography Findings in Capsular Block Syndrome with Improvement in Myopia following Neodymium-Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Laser Treatment.

Project description:IntroductionLacteocrumenasia is a relatively rare postoperative complication of cataract surgery. It is classified as a late-onset type of capsular block syndrome (CBS) and is often accompanied by myopia; however, its mechanism is not clearly understood.Case presentationWe report a case of a 62-year-old male patient having CBS with myopia. The patient was treated with neodymium-yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd-YAG) laser posterior capsulotomy. We measured and compared the depth of the intraocular lens using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) before and after laser treatment. Treatment resulted in refraction improvement of more than 1.0 diopters. The intraocular lens depth before and after Nd-YAG laser irradiation had very mild changes of less than 0.05 mm, which did not explain the refractive changes.ConclusionMyopia in the early-onset type of CBS is caused by anterior deviation of the intraocular lens; however, the evaluation of this case using AS-OCT suggested that an abnormal intraocular lens position may not be involved in late-onset CBS.
