Description: An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.

1.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 05/01/2009 - "BACKGROUND: Early glottic cancer can be cured with transoral laser resection, but in cases with anterior commissure involvement, there is still controversy concerning the best treatment modality. " 09/01/1989 - "It is concluded that the endoscopic use of the AYG laser for the destruction of tumors, cicatrices, and granulations in the tracheal and bronchial lumen both as the first stage of surgical treatment and as an independent palliative method in inoperable patients is highly effective and safe." 01/01/1987 - "Endoscopic laser treatment was found to be most effective when the tumor was polypoid in appearance bronchoscopically, with little or no submucosal invasion or peribronchial extension seen on CT. " 04/01/1985 - "A laser or ultrasonic aspirator may be very helpful in removing these tumors. " 10/01/2005 - "Combined reflectance/fluorescence in vivo confocal laser scanning microscopy holds significant promise for studies of tumor progression in murine skin."

2.	Cicatrix (Scar) 01/01/2002 - "Laser resurfacing using the high-energy, pulsed and scanned CO2 laser produces the most dramatic improvement in severe photo-induced facial rhytides and deeply atrophic scars. " 10/01/2009 - "In our patients, using this sequential laser device achieved an almost complete clearance of the VM with no scarring." 04/01/2006 - "RESULTS: All patients showed complete remission after 1.59 (1-5) laser sessions and no scarring was observed. " 07/01/2001 - "Excellent results, however, can be achieved with this laser, up to 50% or more overall clinical improvement, in patients with milder photodamage and scarring (Glogau classes I and II). " 03/01/2001 - "CONCLUSION: Laser-assisted transcanalicular dacryocystorhinostomy is a very useful method because it does not cause cutaneous scarring and for it has a low rate of morbidity given that it causes very little surgical traumatism.

3.	Pain (Aches) 01/01/2009 - "Outcomes measured included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), efficacy of laser treatment, complications, duration of the procedure, and pain perception, which were noted in the charts for panretinal treatments. " 06/01/2000 - "Data from four surgical trials of laser transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) show pain reductions of at least two classes occurred among 25-76% of patients, significantly greater than with optimal medical therapy. " 01/01/1990 - "By persons with stomatopyrosis and stomatodiniae symptoms analgetic effect was attained through the therapy with the laser already after the first application, and the pain and aches intensity was relieved every day during the therapy, by stomatodinae to complete healing. " 08/01/2008 - "BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Despite contradictory reports on the effect of laser light on cell proliferation, studies have shown that appropriate doses and wavelengths of laser light are therapeutically beneficial in tissue repair and pain control. " 07/01/2009 - "The reduction in pain scores was significantly greater in the laser group than in the placebo group. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Macular Edema 03/01/2000 - "RESULTS: Macular edema disappeared or was dramatically reduced in all cases after laser treatment. " 01/01/1990 - "In most cases, diabetic macular edema is treated successfully with central laser photocoagulation. " 08/01/2009 - "However, focal/grid laser photocoagulation continues to be the only proven safe and effective treatment for diabetic macular edema." 06/01/2000 - "Overall, grid laser photocoagulation for diabetic macular edema is a very cost-effective treatment based on the results of this cost-utility analysis." 07/01/2008 - "CONCLUSIONS: A 20-mg sub-Tenon TA injection prior to focal laser photocoagulation is a safe and beneficial treatment in patients with diabetic macular edema."

5.	Glaucoma 09/01/1997 - "Laser synechiolysis was highly effective in patients with the first of the listed forms of glaucoma if the operation was performed as early as possible. " 12/01/1983 - "Laser trabeculoplasty (LTP) seems to be highly effective in eyes with failed trabeculectomy while eyes with secondary glaucoma have a poor response." 12/01/2002 - "The goniscopic examination and provocative tests following laser peripheral iridectomy are very important and also effective in detecting this kind of glaucoma." 03/01/2009 - "PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of repeat 360-degree selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in glaucoma patients with prior successful 360-degree SLT. " 03/01/2009 - "Laser trabeculoplasty can reduce nocturnal IOP elevation in medically treated glaucoma patients, even in those without significant reduction of diurnal IOP.
