Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and direct selective laser trabeculoplasty (DSLT) are laser treatments used to lower intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma. In this basic science article, chosen as the October Editor's Choice, the authors tested whether the newer contactless delivery method, DSLT, was safe when applied to different eye structures, and found no significant damage compared with standard treatment or sham eyes, even at high energy levels. These findings provide important evidence supporting the safety of DSLT, even in the event of extreme technical failure.

This case report presents a 39-year-old male with plaque psoriasis who was treated for tattoo removal with picosecond and CO2 laser therapies. He had two sessions of combined picosecond and CO2 treatments and one session of picosecond alone. One month after the third session, he developed psoriasiform changes at the treated sites, consistent with an isomorphic response, and this was confirmed on histopathological examination.

Prolonged postoperative air leak (PAL) after thoracic surgery remains a major cause of morbidity, extended hospital stays, and bronchopleural fistula. Existing intraoperative aerostasis assessment methods, including water submersion testing, iodine indicator instillation, and ventilator flowmetry, are subjective, anatomically restricted, or provide limited information about the precise location and magnitude of individual leaks. This experimental study evaluates a quantitative intraoperative aerostasis monitoring approach employing a laser photoacoustic leak detector with sulfur hexafluoride SF6 as a biologically inert trace gas marker, configured in a rabbit thoracotomy model.

While adverse events such as dyschromia, infections, and scarring are well-documented, stroke has not been reported in the context of dermatologic energy-based device procedures. This report describes a 62-year-old female who experienced an embolic stroke with hemorrhagic conversion shortly after an Erbium:YAG laser resurfacing procedure.
