Abstract:
Many of our studies on biological effects of laser radiation from 1965 to 1971 are reviewed. These include continuation of free radical studies differential effects on cell growth patterns in tissue culture effects on biochemical preparations attempts to alter the immunological capabilityvirulence ratio of influenza virus gross and microscopic descriptions of lesions, their natural history, and alterations in calcium and magnesium argon laser irradiation studies occurrence and significance of backscattering of viable tumor cells carcinogenic potential of the radiation cataract production at ultraviolet wavelengths uses and hazards in dentistry degradation of the energy within a closed filled cavity charged particle production usefulness of sonic and ultrasonic signature characterization studies on focal hepatic injury and repair reversible depigmentation investigations and relationship to melanin granule as a target site development of pulse-duration dependent models analysis and development of threshold injury models CO2 laser development and biological and biophysical studies in-vivo and in-vitro tests of effectiveness of laser protective material use of closed circuit TV categorization of non-radiational hazards contributions to provisions for safe use of lasers and psychological studies.
