Nonlinear optical microscopy is a novel tool for the analysis of cutaneous alterations in pseudoxanthoma elasticum
Abstract Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE, OMIM 264800) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with ectopic mineralization and fragmentation of elastin fibers. It is caused by mutations of the ABCC6 gene that leads to decreased serum levels of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) anti-mineralization factor. The occurrence of severe complications among PXE patients highlights the importance of early diagnosis so that prompt multidisciplinary care can be provided to patients. We aimed to...

Laser fabrication of structural bone: surface morphology and biomineralization assessment
Abstract The current work explores the surface morphology of the laser-ablated bone using Yb-fiber coupled Nd:YAG laser (λ = 1064 nm) in continuous wave mode. As the laser-ablated region contains physiochemically modified carbonized and nonstructural region, it becomes unknown material for the body. Thus, biomineralization on such a laser-ablated region was assessed by in vitro immersion test in noncellular simulated body fluid. The presence of hydroxyapatite was detected in the...

Influence of biosafety materials of the laser output power
Abstract Biosafety materials used in the correct handling of low power laser equipment may interfere on the power delivered at the target tissue and, possibly, on the effects on biological tissues. The aim of this study was to evaluate the interference of the use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene (PEAD) protection materials on the output power of low power lasers. Two low power diode laser devices with different wavelengths (red and infrared) were used. For each wavelength,...
