Irradiation of Escherichia coli cells with either coherent or non-coherent 632.8 nm light (4 J cm-2) causes a transient acceleration of cell proliferation, which is maximal about 60 min after the end of the phototreatment.

The stimulatory effect is dose dependent and is especially evident in the case of defective E. coli strains which are in the logarithmic phase of growth, while it becomes less important when cells are exposed to non-coherent 600-700 nm light. Leggi tutto...

We present a double-blind trial in which a pulsed infrared beam was compared with a placebo in the treatment of myofascial pain in the cervical region.

The patients were submitted to 12 sessions on alternate days to a total energy dose of 5 J each. At each session, the four most painful muscular trigger points and five bilateral homometameric acupuncture points were irradiated.

Those in the placebo group submitted to the same number of sessions following an identical procedure, the only difference being that the laser apparatus was nonoperational. Leggi tutto...
