Open AccessPresence of chest tubes does not affect the hemodynamic efficacy of standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation
During cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), chest tubes can hinder increases in intrathoracic pressure by venting the pressure during chest compressions, thus reducing the blood flow generated by the thoracic ...

Functional and morphological evaluation of blue light-emitting diode-induced retinal degeneration in mice
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a retinal degeneration (RD) model induced by exposing mice to a blue light-emitting diode (LED), which led to photoreceptor cell death.

Segmental assessments of coronary plaque morphology and composition by virtual histology intravascular ultrasound and fractional flow reserve
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is an index for identifying functionally significant stenotic lesions. A FFR value of ≤0.75 is considered clinically significant and indicative of physiological ischemia. Focal l...

Mechanical properties of composite resins light-cured using a blue DPSS laser
Lasers have many favorable features as a light source owing to their monochromaticity and coherence. This study examined the mechanical properties of composite resins that were light-cured using a diode-pumped...

Diode-pumped solid-state laser for bonding orthodontic brackets: effect of light intensity and light-curing time
This study evaluated the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets bonded to teeth using a diode-pumped solid state (DPSS) laser of 473 nm with various light intensity and light-curing settings. For th...

Effect of diode-pumped solid state laser on polymerization shrinkage and color change in composite resins
A diode-pumped solid state (DPSS) laser emitting at 473 nm was used to test its influence on the degree of polymerization of composite resins. Eight composite resins were chosen and light cured with three diff...

The applicability of DPSS laser for light curing of composite resins
The applicability of diode-pumped solid state (DPSS) laser for light curing the composite resins was tested with a quartz–tungsten–halogen lamp-based unit and a light emitting diode unit. The emission spectra ...
