Optical diagnostics methods are significantly appealing in biological applications since they
are non-destructive, safe, and minimally invasive. Laser-induced fluorescence is a …

The most interesting, but insufficiently known results obtained by the author in modeling
laser-induced hyperthermia of human tumors are discussed. It is important that the …

Tissue turbulence and the effects of tissue turbulence on the propagation of optical waves
are reviewed. After the introduction of a survey on the reported research in this area, various …

The optical properties of biological systems can be measured by imaging and microscopy
methodologies. The use of X-rays, γ-radiation and electron microscopy provides information …

Solar radiative heating and melting of lake and sea ice is a geophysical problem that has
attracted the attention of researchers for many years. This problem is important in connection …

Background Heat generated from plasmonic nanoparticles can be utilized in plasmonic
photothermal therapy. A combination of near-infrared laser and plasmonic nanoparticles is …

Understanding tumors and their microenvironment are essential for successful and accurate
disease diagnosis. Tissue physiology and morphology are altered in tumors compared to …

Introduction Esophagectomy is the mainstay of esophageal cancer treatment, but
anastomotic insufficiency related morbidity and mortality remain challenging for patient …

Optical diagnostic methods are still suffering from relatively low resolution due to low light
penetration produced by the multiple scattering properties of biological tissues. Light …

In interstitial photodynamic therapy, light is distributed to the tumor via light diffusers. The
light dose and the related phototoxic effect achieved throughout the target volume critically …
