... radiation. Recently, there has been increasing evidence to suggest that less energetic radiation, such as visible light and infrared radiation, might also influence skin physiology. Yet, it remains unclear, regarding risk assessment, whether visible light irradiation induces positive or negative effects...

..., assessment, and monitoring. For approximal surfaces that are not directly visible, bitewing radiography is still the standard in detecting caries lesions. The use of artificial intelligence has become the most recent technological aid for the detection of caries lesions on bitewing radiographs and clinical...

... Abstract The formation of the dental enamel is a consequence of a complex series of events and when disturbed, visible consequences ranging from hypoplasia to hypomineralization occur. Less dramatic alterations of the enamel structure and conformation are argued to modulate individual...

... incorporated into cosmeceuticals in more recent decades as a way to protect and defend the epidermis and dermis against oxidative damage by ultraviolet radiation, and more recently as a possible defense against visible light, high-energy visible light, infrared radiation, and air pollution. Common topical AOX...

... Abstract With the rapid change in lifestyle in modern society, diabetes has become a major health problem all around the world. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of visual impairment in working-age adults worldwide. The most common early clinically visible manifestations of DR...

... attachment of the contact lens causes decreased visibility of the fundus image. The benefit of the non-contact lens type is that the viewing angle can be changed by moving the front lens up and down to adjust the distance between the cornea and the front lens. The surgical procedures are more flexible...

... Abstract Skin diseases are visible, and identifying abnormal skin generally does not require specialist knowledge. Dermatology is therefore a ripe field for studies of cumulative life course impairment, because of the many diseases that affect not only the patients, but also their psychosocial...

... patients more flexibility and empowerment. Nonetheless, their remote nature and intrinsic problematic visibility to therapy-related issues occurring at home contribute to holding back both patients and nephrologists from adopting them. RPM has recently become available in automated peritoneal dialysis (APD...

... Abstract It is important to secure visibility during microsurgery. In vitreous surgery, staining and peeling of the internal limiting membrane with vital dyes, such as indocyanine green, have been widely performed since 2000, and surgical outcomes have improved in some vitreoretinal disorders...

... remains a prominent problem worldwide. In patients with prolonged stays, overfeeding has also become an issue. This lack of fit between prescription and delivery is largely caused by the lack of visibility of the nutritional results to nurses and clinicians. Computerized systems have brought major...

.... In BE with visible areas of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia or intramucosal cancer, resection and adjuvant thermal ablation seems to be the most reasonable therapy. In BE with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia without visible lesions, thermal ablation alone appears to demonstrate the best results...

... and potentially also in systemic immunosuppression, which may not only impair control of dysplastic and neoplastic skin lesions but also affect immuno­pathological and infectious skin diseases. Recent find­ings have shown that ambient doses of high-energy visible light, beyond the UV range, may also cause damage...

... to their property of remaining as a white paste on the skin, a result of particle sizes. In order to eliminate these unfavourable properties, particle size distribution was lowered into a range below 100 nm, a size threshold for decreasing the particle’s optical property to reflect visible light. After 2000, new...

... with two oral bacteria) was assessed. The results showed an activity of all tested substances against all C. albicans and C. glabrata strains. In the biofilm assays, a concentration-dependent effect of the substances was visible. However, a low concentration of povidone iodine solution and in particular...
