Low-Level Laser Therapy Prevents Prodromal Signal Complications on Saphenectomy Post Myocardial Revascularization

Abstract

LLLT was valuable in preventing prodromal complications in saphenectomy post myocardial revascularization.

Photobiomodulation in Wound Healing: What Are We Not Considering?

“…This would increase the reliability of PBM as a treatment, as a result of improved patient compliance and reduced costs. For those who manage acute or surgical wounds, there is evidence that PBM applied during trans-surgical time 10 or in the immediate postoperative period, is ideal for triggering a cascade of inflammatory phase events that includes the contraction of the wound, phagocytic chemotaxis and activation, macrophage polarization and differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts, and collagen organization. All of the classic three phases of wound repair (inflammatory, proliferation, and remodeling) can be modulated with a single early intervention during the inflammatory phase that leads to faster and better wound healing.…”

“…All of the classic three phases of wound repair (inflammatory, proliferation, and remodeling) can be modulated with a single early intervention during the inflammatory phase that leads to faster and better wound healing. 10,11 When non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) are prescribed during the immediate postoperative phase, the same pathological principles are applied, creating an intervention in the initial mediators of inflammation. This is a suppressive intervention that creates no improvement in the final quality of the wound.…”

Photodynamic Therapy in the Healing of the Areolo-Papillary Complex after Mastectomy—Case Report

“…Although it may have other applications, PDT has an approved indication for the treatment of keratinocyte skin cancer [2] [3] [4]. PDT also includes the possibility of being used in mixed infections (whatever their resistance profile as well as for combinations of bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites) complementing conventional antimicrobial agents [5].…”

Low-intensity laser (660 NM) has analgesic effects on sternotomy of patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafts

“…[ 6 ] LLLT also can stimulate immediate analgesia to control neuropathic pain by releasing local neurotransmitters such as serotonin, promoting the release of endorphins, or increasing mitochondrial ATP production, or through anti-inflammatory effects. [ 7 ] Although many studies have been performed to help understand the analgesic and tissue repair mechanisms of LLLT,[ 8 9 ] additional clinical studies are necessary to better understand those effects.…”
