Advances in Laser Technology for Photocoagulation Laser photocoagulation is a mainstay of retinal practice, having been validated as an effective treatment for
clinically significant macular edema associated with diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusions in landmark studies. This article discusses two important advances in laser photocoagulation technology and their impact on patient outcomes.
A Glimpse at New and Emerging Treatments for DME The quest to preserve vision in diabetic eye disease is focusing on anti-VEGF drugs, implants and topical drops. DME management in the past few years has changed dramatically, though. At present anti-VEGF and steroids are the most commonly used treatment modalities along with variable combinations, and some of the most promising treatments are still emerging.

Put Your Best Hand Forward We have all heard the expression “Put your best foot forward.” People rarely form impressions about our age and health by looking at our feet because they usually are covered by shoes.

hand forward.
Hair Removal for Tanned Patients and Various Skin Types For the Treatment of Tanned Patients, Skin Type I - IV-Two prospective, controlled studies were conducted to determine the safety and efficacy of the Cutera CoolGlide aesthetic laser for the removal of unwanted hair in tanned patients of skin type I - IV with brown or black hair.
Focus on these neglected areas: staffing, business overhead, and payer contracts. Gains made in the areas of staffing, overhead, and payer reimbursements can contribute to more effective recruitment and retention as well as boost financial performance in the long run.

There are 3 types of search. Please only use one option at a time.
1) Build a boolean search string.
Ensure that document matches include...
2) Search for a phrase:
3) Search on part of a word:
Information on how to use Search
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
AND example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
OR example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
NOT example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.
