Novel crystals enhance mid-infrared laser performance

A research group led by Prof. Sun Dunlu from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences, has successfully synthesized novel mid-infrared Ho,Pr:YAP and Er:YGGAG crystals using the Czchralski (Cz) method, and improved the continuous-wave laser performance of laser diode (LD) side-pumped Er:YSGG crystal through thermal bonding technology. The research results were published in Optics Express. The 2.7~3 μm mid-infrared lasers are located in the strong absorption band of water molecules, which have wide application prospects in fields such as biomedical, optical remote sensing, and nonlinear optics. In a recent study, scientists have found a way to make lasers more powerful and efficient. By adjusting the components in the laser material, they discovered that the performance could be improved. Specifically, they increased the concentration of one component of Ho3+ ions and added just the suitable amount of another component of Pr3+ ions.

Yesterday's studying (ft. my mom's strawbeb cake 🍓) // today's thesis lab.

Aren't my crystals beautiful 🥹 I'm recrystallizing the one asshole compound that came out ugly and visibly impure the first time around. I'll see if it's any helpful next week.

I was finally brave enough to tell my thesis supervisor that I'd love to drop by after my internship in July but before the semester starts (which is in October). He said he'd be away all August but I can come in September which is!! So great!!! Looks like this summer break might be fun :)

Holy, god of poisonous flowers.

I've been sitting on his design for a while. I knew what I wanted, but actually getting it drawn was proving a challenge. This took well over a week of slowly chipping away at (mostly thanks to all the flowers), but I like how it came out!

How HOLMIUM LASER-BLAZE Are Helped In Treating Urological Conditions?

Over the past few decades, significant advancements in medical technology have preexisting procedures and have gained the popularity of lasers in the treatment of various urological conditions. Patients suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate enlargement, bladder stones, and kidney stones have found respite in laser-based treatments, particularly the Holmium laser.

The prevalence of health issues associated with the enlargement of the prostate gland, dating back to early human civilisation, cannot be overstated. Symptoms such as poor urinary stream (Urinary hesitancy), pain during urination (Dysuria - a burning sensation), and increased frequency of urination accompanied by involuntary leakage are often disregarded by patients because of embarrassment or fear of seeking medical assistance.

However, ignoring these symptoms can exacerbate the condition, leading to complications like recurrent urinary tract infections, Hematuria, urinary retention, and even renal failure.

While medical management can relieve symptoms in many cases, surgical intervention becomes imperative for those unresponsive to conservative measures. Unfortunately, the apprehension associated with surgery often deters individuals from seeking timely treatment, resulting in avoidable complications.

Advancements In urological interventions!

Advancements in science have initiated in the era of minimally invasive procedures through the miniaturisation of endoscopic equipment and improvements in energy sources.

While open surgery was once the foundation of urological interventions, it has now become a rarity.

The field of urology has undergone a remarkable transformation, especially with the emergence of laser technologies.

The traditional Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) was the gold standard for treating enlarged prostates or BPH in the past.

However, with the evolution of lasers in urology surgical instruments, surgeries for enlarged prostate conditions have significantly enhanced safety profiles, reduced bleeding, and improved efficacy, with the 

Holmium laser urology surgical instrument emerging as the preferred choice in urological procedures.

The Holmium laser Blaze for urology surgical instruments has a diverse range of applications that continue to expand. It can be used for lithotripsy and urothelial tumour ablation throughout the urinary tract, prostate resection, incision of various urinary tract strictures, and even carbon dioxide laser vaporisation of cutaneous lesions in the external genitalia.

The Holmium laser's 2100-nm wavelength provides a distinctive combination of vaporisation and coagulation, enabling precise cutting actions when higher energy levels are applied.

With a shallow penetration depth of less than 0.5 mm in water and tissue, the Holmium laser allows for precise energy delivery, ensuring safety and minimising potential complications.

The Advantages of Holmium Laser in Urological Treatments!

As laser technology continues to evolve, the Holmium laser has emerged as a powerful surgical instrument or precision diagnostic instrument in urology medical procedures.

It has many advantages that make it an attractive option to treat a range of urological conditions.

Let's explore the key advantages of the Holmium laser in urological procedures:

1..Reduced Bleeding and Faster Recovery: 

One of the significant advantages of the Holmium laser is its ability to cause minimal bleeding during and after surgery. This not only improves patient safety but also accelerates the recovery process. With reduced blood loss, patients require fewer blood transfusions and experience less post-operative discomfort, leading to a shorter hospital stay and faster overall recovery.

2..Improved Urinary Flow: 

For prostate surgery, a Laser Prostate invasive procedure or HoLEP using the Holmium laser Blaze offers superior results in relieving urinary flow obstruction compared to traditional procedures like Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP). HoLEP with the Holmium laser ensures better urinary flow, thereby improving the quality of life for patients suffering from enlarged prostates.

3..Long-Term Results: 

The Holmium laser treatment offers long-lasting results with minimal chances of recurrence. This means patients can experience durable relief from symptoms, reducing the need for further interventions or treatments in the future. The Holmium laser's precision in targeting problem areas ensures a thorough treatment, resulting in a lower chance of the condition reoccurring.

4..Expanded Safety for High-Risk Patients:

Another remarkable advantage of the Holmium laser is its ability to safely treat patients who are considered unfit for traditional surgeries like TURP because of their critical medical conditions. Patients with significant comorbidities, such as major cardiac illnesses, renal diseases, advanced diabetes, bleeding disorders, anticoagulant dependency, respiratory problems, and significant anaemia can undergo Holmium laser treatment with safety and confidence. This expands the treatment options for patients who need it the most, allowing them to benefit from the latest advancements in urological care.

The Holmium laser has revolutionised urological medical procedures, from minimising bleeding and enabling faster recovery to providing superior relief in urinary flow obstruction.

As technology continues to advance, we can expect even more innovations in laser-based treatments, providing better outcomes and improved quality of life for patients with urological conditions.

Moreover, the Holmium laser's user-friendly urology surgical instrument is designed to facilitate its operation by urologists and allied health professionals. Its versatility in addressing a myriad of urologic conditions has made it an invaluable hospital instrument or surgical instrument in medium to large urological units, appealing to practitioners and patients alike for its efficiency and safety.

Holmium laser has revolutionised the treatment landscape of urological conditions by offering a safer, more effective, and minimally invasive urological treatment alternative to traditional surgical approaches.

By exploiting inclusive laser technology, urologists can provide patients with advanced urology treatments that deliver optimal outcomes and improve their quality of life, marking a significant milestone in the field of urology procedures.

Who is the least traumatized or mentally ill one in the cast?

Hard question, as a lot of them are just Some Guy

Off the top of my head I can mention Praesodymium and Loudspeaker, as their entire thing is having to clean up the mess left behind by "main characters"(like nitro) as they just chill and hang out. They might have some mental illnesses but its not like, story driving or anything they're just there
