Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) seems to be a promising method in the treatment of larynx tumor tissues. The aim present analysis was study photosensitizer penetration tissue associated with application PDT vitro. This is based on use photosensitive compounds Rose Bengal (RB) that selectively accumulate tissue. selection group patients who will undergo surgery accordance medical principles key importance for project. Histopathological examination samples subjected revealed numerous changes...

Photodynamic therapy is a treatment that uses combination of light-absorbing photosensitizers and dissolved oxygen to kill cancer. One specific limitation photodynamic the visible light used for photosensitizer excitation has short tissue penetration depth several millimeters. This limits application surface cancers in absence technique illuminate deeper tissue. Efforts extend which can be applied have been attempted with use up-conversion persistent-luminescent nanoparticles absorb near...

Over the past few decades, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has proven to be extremely successful in medical applications. More recently, biomedical applications of MRI have been gaining more use field clinical pharmacy. In 1977, perfluorocarbon compounds (PFC), which form emulsions that can carry drugs, were analyzed by 19F and emulsified PFC investigated as potential blood substitutes since early 1960s now a wide variety are currently available biomarkers. Molecules with substituents...

Continuous scientific research and the increasing saturation of medical market in Poland implements possibilities using advanced MR techniques including MRS everyday practice. This method, which has so far been used primarily for purposes, can bring measurable benefits to patients not only terms clarifying diagnosis narrowing differential diagnosis, but also monitoring course various diseases their treatment. Here we present basic principles performing interpreting spectroscopic spectra...

Recently, fluorescence diagnostics and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is increasingly gaining in popularity for clinical use.The purpose of this review was to describe the results using laser molecular techniques develop targeted cancer improved drug delivery cells with regards tissue visualization, single-cell localization, monitoring treatment, efficacy.

Despite continuous scientific and technological advances in MR imaging, perfusion methods have not yet been widely deployed for routine clinical diagnostics. This is especially true ASL (arterial spin labelling) used to evaluate cerebral perfusion. method does require a contrast agent, as new discoveries about gadolinium accumulation the cerebellum brain nucleus appear be valuable asset provide opportunity more practice. The aim of this paper present historical determinants development...

Currently, liver disease is widespread and the awareness of these diseases low. Early symptoms do not necessarily indicate problems with this organ patients are usually informed their when stage already advanced. Invasive biopsies clinical diagnostic method most commonly used in evaluation disease. A biopsy associated a high risk false results additional complications. Finding new non-invasive imaging methods has led to discovery called Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE). This technique...

Introduction. Some herbal medicinal products may be beneficial in certain respects but many can dangerous for patients taking doctor-prescribed medications. Plant are often taken with conventional drugs by patients. Interactions possible between and medications that lead to toxicity due increased drug plasma levels or treatment failure. Aim. The aim of the study was review plant interactions. Materials method. Analysis literature.

Introduction. Physical fatigue is a physiological condition that can be measured by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Aim. Therefore, this work aims to present the research results currently reported in scientific literature between years 2014 and 2018 field of chronic syndrome using MRI method. Material methods. Analysis literature. Results. We reviewed here differences temporary fatigue.

Introduction. Magnetic Resonance Imaging methods are now frequently used for the analysis of diseased tissue. These based on fact that spin-lattice, T1, and spin-spin, T2, relaxation times different in tissue as compared to normal Aim. Here we present measurements spin-lattice time T1 a scaner with field strength 1.5 Tesla. Material methods. Measurements literature. Results. We provide procedure Tesla discussion current applications.

Introduction. The objective of this paper is to review the evidence use herbs in phytotherapy. Aim. To discuss plant properties and applications otorhinolaryngology. Materials methods. We analysed literature collected information phythotherapy Results. databases were searched using various keywords such as phytotherapy, otorhinolaryngology, as: echinacea, eucalyptus, garlic, ginkgo, ginseng, kava, pelargonium sidoides, rosemary, spirulina, St John’s wort, thyme. Conclusions. Due beneficial...

Larynx tissue with cancers or early recurrences of cancer tend to have a positive response Photodynamic Therapy (PDT).The goal this study was achieve tumor cell killing such as larynx and tongue the use photosensitizer, oxygen laser light.The presented indicated that PDT is an effective primary alternative treatment modality for carcinomas in tissue.

Introduction. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) coils technology is a powerful improvement for clinical diagnostics. This includes opportunities mathematical and physical research into coil design. Aim. Here we present the method applied to MRI array designs. Material methods. Analysis of literature self-research. Results. The that emit radiofrequency pulses are designed similarly. As much as possible, they deliver same strength all voxels within their imaging volume. Surface on other hand...
