Silicone scar tape provides a noninvasive approach to scar treatment, improving outcomes for hypertrophic and keloid scars through hydration and occlusion.

Solid-state lasers using yttrium aluminum garnet as the matrix material, doped with neodymium (Nd:YAG) can have wavelength outputs of 1.064 µm, 532 nm, 473 nm, 355 nm, or 266 nm. Solid-state lasers ...

Less common, but still valuable, is thulium's role in doping a special type of garnet, yttrium aluminium garnet or YAG. The crystal is used as the active medium in a laser with a wavelength of around ...

As seen below, a green laser pointer begins with an infrared 808 nm laser diode, which pumps energy through a yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) crystal to further increase the beam's wavelength to 1064 nm ...

It looks like a tube made of glass but it’s actually aluminum. Well, aluminum with an asterisk beside it — this is not elemental aluminum but rather a material made using it. We got onto the ...

Henry Highland Garnet -- born a slave, well educated, known for his skills as an orator, a leading abolitionist, a clergyman -- stood before the delegates of the 1843 National Negro Convention in ...

The goal of melasma therapy is to promote degradation of melanosomes, inhibit formation of melanosomes, and retard proliferation of melanocytes (Pandya & Guevara, 2000). Although not a cure in and ...

[Ted Yapo] shared a method of easily and conveniently soldering to aluminum, which depends on a little prep work to end up only slightly more complex than soldering to copper. A typical way to ...

Studies have not found evidence that aluminum contributes to Alzheimer’s disease development. But research is ongoing, and you could be a part of it. Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease that ...

Although extracutaneous complications and melanoma can occur, they are uncommon, and most patients with nevus of Ota suffer from the psychological impact of cosmetic disfigurement. Before laser ...

We spent 2,646 hours testing to find the best aluminum-free deodorants made with natural ingredients that will keep you smelling great all day long. Susan Bard, MD, is a board-certified general ...
