PURPOSE: This study was to identify the effectiveness of high-intensity laser therapy on pain and function of a frozen shoulder. METHODS: Thirty patients were assigned to two groups: the experimental group (n=15) and the control group (n=15). Both groups received traditional therapy for 4 weeks, 3 days a week. The experimental group, however, received an additional high intensity laser therapy. Pain was measured using the visual analogue scale (VAS). The functional ability was measured using the patient specific functional scale (PSFS). A paired t-test was used to determine any differences before and after the treatment, and an independent t-test was used to determine any differences between treatment groups. RESULTS: Both groups showed a statistically significant difference for VAS and PSFS score (p<0.05). In comparison between two groups, more experimental group than control group statistically significant difference (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: There seems to be a positive effect on pain and function of frozen shoulder from using high intensity laser therapy.

In the past few years, the occurrence of atherosclerotic obliterans (ASO) has increased obviously. Although the percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting have been the main treatment methods of ASO, 50% of these patients need re-intervention within 2 years due to restenosis. As the emerging debulking device, excimer laser ablation (ELA) could decrease the deployment of stent and increase the vessel patency. However, the application time of ELA in China is short. Although the effectiveness of ELA in in-stent restenosis has been reported in previous studies, its value in de-novo lesions of lower extremity arteries is still unclear. By reviewing the latest literature and the clinical experience, this article aims to summarize the application of ELA in the lower extremity arterial disease, the factors affecting the vessel patency, the prevention and treatment of device-related complications, and the developing trend of ELA, in order to improve the vessel patency and the patient's prognosis.

Background:
As the number of patients getting tattooed is increasing, so is the number of patients seeking removal of
tattoos. The primary objective of this study was to assess the reasons as to why patients got tattoos and
also seek tattoo removal. The secondary objective was to study the demographics and the knowledge
they had regarding tattoo removal.
Methods:
A cross sectional study was done among 250 consecutive patients who attended the Dermatology
centre seeking tattoo removal. A questionnaire was used to fill in the details.
Results:
167 males and 83 females were included in the study. Majority of patients were in the age group of 21
to 30 years (43.8%) followed by 31-40 years (26.7%). 56.6% of patients had got tattoos in the third
decade and 35.1% in the second decade. 52.6% of those seeking tattoo removal had got their tattoos
from amateur artists, village fairs or roadside tattoo shops. 45.8% did not have a specific reason for
getting a tattoo and were decorative tattoos. 34.7% had names of their beloved or family members.
29.5% were seeking removal for professional reasons and 23.1% due to changes in relationship status.
Conclusion
Patients seek tattoo removal mainly for professional reasons, changes in personal relationships when
they have name tattoo and due to complications. Most of the patients were in the third decade of life. It
is important to educate school going children ang youngsters regarding the permanent nature of tattoo
and its complications.

Vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia III, is a relatively rare disease. Consequently standard treatments for this disease were not established until recently. Although several convenient methods, such as laser ablation, 5-fluorouracil topical injection, and radiation therapy, have been applied for treating these lesions, surgical treatments, including vaginectomy, have not yet been attempted, as they would likely be accompanied by technical difficulties and various complications. Herein, we report a case of refractory vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia III in the vaginal vault that was successfully treated with a total vaginectomy.
