The measurement of cholesterol and triglycerides in blood by Z-scan technique is proposed.
The nonlinear refractive index of cholesterol and triglycerides was found to vary linearly with …

Introduction Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging tool used in various
medical fields (ophthalmology, dermatology), which allows the observation of morphological …

A decoupled analytical technique based on the Stokes–Mueller matrix decomposition
method extracts polarization properties of human blood plasma, collagen solution, and …

Periodontitis induces excessive production of reactive oxygen species in periodontal
lesions. This may impair circulating pro-oxidant/anti-oxidant balance and induce the …

(1) Background: The aim of this split-mouth design study was to analyze the clinical
periodontal indexes and oxidative stress markers in gingival crevicular fluid modifications …

Small, dense low-density lipoprotein (sdLDL) in total LDL is strongly related with the
cardiovascular risk level. An optical technique using dynamic light scattering (DLS) …

In case of intraocular inflammation, blood-ocular barriers are disrupted allowing serum
proteins as well as cells to enter the eye. The normal noninflamed status and the different …

Periodontal diseases are frequently associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). On the
other hand, occurrence of CVD has also been related with increased blood viscosity. This …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability of laser-induced autofluorescence
(LIAF) spectroscopy to detect and quantify dental plaque. LIAF spectra were recorded in situ …

Purpose The purpose of this ex vivo study is to exhibit the inflammatory changes that occur
within the gingival tissue by using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in periodontal …
