Effectiveness of carbonate removal and demineralization inhibition in primary teeth using a 9.3-μm carbon dioxide laser Open
Background: Studies on permanent dental enamel have shown that irradiation with a 9.3-μm carbon dioxide (CO2) laser can safely inhibit caries progression in vivo and carieslike lesion formation in vitro. The authors conducted a study to in…

First Record of the Basket Star Astrospartus Mediterraneus (Risso, 1826) (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) in the Libyan Waters Open
The basket star Astrospartus mediterraneus (Risso, 1826) is reported for the first time in the Libyan waters. The species was collected by trawling at 73 m of depth in Tripoli waters. This note gives details about this observation.

Decontamination of Hard Tissue Using a Scanning Pulsed 9.3-µm CO2 Laser Open
Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the use of a scanning 9.3-µm CO2 laser beam to reduce or eliminate bacteria on hard tissue as a new method of non-specific decontamination to prevent cross-contamination during dental or medica…

Optical tracking of nerve activity using intrinsic changes in birefringence Open
Changes in birefringence (or dynamic birefringence) provide an arguably cleaner method of measuring IOS as compared to scattering methods. Other imaging methods have substantial limitations. Nerves inherently exhibit a static (rest conditi…

Real-time imaging of action potentials in nerves using changes in birefringence Open
Polarized light can be used to measure the electrical activity associated with action potential propagation in nerves, as manifested in simultaneous dynamic changes in their intrinsic optical birefringence. These signals may serve as a too…
