  2. Lasers in cancer treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasers_in_Cancer_Treatment

    Lasers are used to treat cancer in several different ways. Their high-intensity light can be used to shrink or destroy tumors or precancerous growths. Lasers are most commonly used to treat superficial cancers (cancers on the surface of the body or the lining of internal organs) such as basal-cell skin cancer and the very early stages of some cancers, such as cervical, penile, vaginal, vulvar ...

  3. Laser Radial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Radial

    The Laser Radial is a variant of the Laser Standard, with shorter mast and reduced sail area, allowing light sailors to sail in heavy winds. It raced by women, U18 men and by male masters. It raced by women, U18 men and by male masters.

  4. Laser 4.7 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_4.7

    The bottom mast section is pre-bent which effectively reduces the power of the rig, and the sail is only 4.7 square meters, as opposed to 7 for the Laser Standard or 5.7 for the Laser Radial. (ILCA 6) The smaller sail means that the 4.7 can be easily sailed by sailors weighing only 50–65 kg (110–145 lb), though this boat can still be sailed ...

    [3] [4] However LLLT has been marketed and researched under a number of other terms, including red light therapy, [39] low-power laser therapy (LPLT), soft laser therapy, low-intensity laser therapy, low-energy laser therapy, cold laser therapy, bio-stimulation laser therapy, photo-biotherapy, therapeutic laser, and monochromatic infrared light ...

  6. Laser (dinghy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_(dinghy)

    The Radial uses the same hull and fittings as the Laser Standard, but has a smaller sail (5.8 m 2) than the Standard with a different cut, and has a shorter lower mast section. Optimal weight for this rig is 121 to 159 pounds (55 to 72 kg). The Laser Radial rig has a UK Portsmouth Yardstick number of 1150. [9] Its DPN is 96.7. [10]

  7. Radiation therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_therapy

    Radiation is a potential cause of cancer, and secondary malignancies are seen in some patients. Cancer survivors are already more likely than the general population to develop malignancies due to a number of factors including lifestyle choices, genetics, and previous radiation treatment.

  8. Radiation-induced lumbar plexopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation-induced_lumbar...

    With increasing cancer treatment survival rates, the quality of life for its survivors has become a public health priority. [1] The effects of RILP can be debilitating. With no effective treatment to control radiation damage's progressive nature, limb dysfunction is the likely result. [10] Radiation damage's outcome is related to its initial ...

  9. Vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical-cavity_surface...

    Diagram of a simple VCSEL structure. The vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL / ˈ v ɪ k s əl /) is a type of semiconductor laser diode with laser beam emission perpendicular from the top surface, contrary to conventional edge-emitting semiconductor lasers (also called in-plane lasers) which emit from surfaces formed by cleaving the individual chip out of a wafer.
