Clinical efficacy and safety of high-intensity focused ultrasound combined with ultrasound-guided suction curettage at different time intervals for Cesarean scar pregnancy: a retro... by Yan Peng, Yu Dai, Cuili Wen, Guiyuan Yu, Ping Jin

“…Objective This study aims to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of combining high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) with ultrasound-guided suction curettage for the treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) at different time intervals.Methods A total of 115 CSP patients were enrolled and divided into two groups based on the time between HIFU ablation and suction curettage. Group A (n = 50) underwent suction curettage 24-48 h after HIFU ablation, while Group B (n = 65) had suction curettage within 6 h of HIFU ablation. …”

Ureteroscopic Laser Treatment of Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Cell Carcinomas: Can a Tumour Free Status Be Achieved? by Christos Kalaitzis, Athanasios Zisimopoulos, Stilianos Giannakopoulos, Stavros Touloupidis

“…In cases of anatomic or functional single kidney with urothelial tumours of the upper urinary tract, the endoscopic laser ablation has proven efficacious. Based on the knowledge that low-grade, low-stage upper tract transitional cell carcinomas rarely progress to invasive lesions, indications for endoscopic laser ablation have expanded to include patients with bilateral functioning kidneys and low-grade tumours. …”

Preparation and Protective Performance of High-Reflection and High-Thermal Insulation Laser Protection Coatings by LI Shuwen, WU Lingfeng, YANG Guanjun, CHEN Lin

“…Laser weapons have entered the actual combat application stage， and the research on anti-laser protection for air and space weapons is becoming increasingly urgent.Prolonged high-energy laser irradiation leads to problems such as reduced metal reflectance，mass loss of ablated layer of the ablative layer and insufficient heat insulation toughness.Based on this，a composite laser protection strategy based on the principles of reflection and heat insulation was proposed.In this study， by adjusting spraying power， spraying distance and other parameters， supersonic flame spraying technology and plasma spraying technology were used to prepare NiCoCrAlTaY bond coating and yttria-stabilized zirconia(YSZ) top coating double-layer coatings， to explore the influence of surface roughness and porosity on reflectivity， and to investigate the laser protection performance of the coatings.Results showed that the larger the spraying power or spraying distance， the more obvious the layer effect， and the more cross-sectional pores were observed in the coating.The surface roughness of the coating decreased first and then increased with the increase in spraying distance.When the secondary reflection structure was removed， the coating surface had Ra＝1.8 μm.When Ra＝0.5 μm， the wedge-shaped structure of the coating increased the reflectivity by about 2.4%compared to that of the coating when Ra＝1.8 μm.It was pointed out that the layered pores were key to the high-reflection wedge structure， the spherical voids were the laser absorption points，and the process parameter of 14.7%porosity (39 kW，100 mm) was the best.In the laser ablation experiment，with the increase in laser power density， the cracks in the coating gradually increased until holes were ablated.The line ablation rate increased approximately in a parabolic manner.With low laser power density (<3 800 W/cm2)， the surface structure changed slightly； as the power increased， the surface cracks increased and deepened， and the petal-like structure in the recondensing zone increased.With high laser power density (>8 050 W/cm2)， partial peeling and ablation of the coating surface caused the coating to fail.…”

Liver metastases in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours – treatment methods by Paweł Gut

“…Resection is performed for large or dominant lesions, while ablation is used to treat small lesions. Hepatic arterial embolization, typically termed transarterial embolization, and transarterial chemoembolization have been shown to induce a reduction in tumour size and to ameliorate symptoms of excess hormonal secretion.…”
