LASER stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. It produces an intense, monochromatic, and directional beam of light. Lasers work through the process of stimulated emission, which was first theorized by Einstein in 1917. This involves exciting atoms to a higher energy state and inducing them to emit photons of the same wavelength and phase through stimulation rather than spontaneously. When there are more excited atoms than unexcited atoms, a condition known as population inversion, stimulated emission dominates over absorption and spontaneous emission, allowing for the generation of a coherent laser beam. Lasers have many applications in fields such as medicine, science, industry, communications, and military.

- Evaluation involves assessing blood pressure and heart rate changes with position changes as well as looking for underlying causes. Management focuses on addressing reversible factors, increasing fluid/salt intake, and medications like fludrocortisone and midodrine.
- While acute
Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is a disease characterized by hemolytic anemia, low platelet count, and kidney failure. It is predominantly seen in children and can be typical (caused by E. coli or Shigella infection) or atypical (caused by complement abnormalities or other infections). Treatment involves supportive care, antibiotics for infections, and plasma therapy for complement abnormalities to replace deficient factors. With aggressive treatment, over 90% of patients survive the acute phase, though some may have long term kidney or other organ damage.
Neisseria meningitidis is a gram-negative diplococcus bacteria that can cause meningococcal infection. There are 13 serogroups but groups A, B, C, W135, and Y are most common. Meningococcal infection ranges from asymptomatic colonization to fulminant sepsis and can manifest as meningitis, meningococcemia, or localized infection. Symptoms may include fever, rash, headache, vomiting, and stiff neck. A petechial rash that starts on the lower extremities is particularly indicative of meningococcal infection. Diagnosis involves culture, antigen detection, or gram stain of specimens. Treatment is with intravenous penicillin or other antibiotics. Vacc
1. Meningococcal infection, caused by Neisseria meningitidis, manifests as meningitis or septicemia. It is a serious and life-threatening disease, especially in children.
2. N. meningitidis is a gram-negative coccus that colonizes the nasopharynx initially before invading the bloodstream and meninges. Virulence factors like capsular polysaccharides and pili aid in invasion and evading the immune system.
3. Diagnosis involves identifying the organism from blood or CSF cultures. Treatment involves antibiotics like ceftriaxone or penicillin. Outcomes range from full recovery to death, with purpura fulminans carrying the
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a thrombotic microangiopathy characterized by thrombocytopenia, acute renal impairment, and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. It has typical and atypical variants, with the typical variant caused by Shiga toxin-producing E. coli. HUS presents with varied symptoms depending on etiology and can progress to end-stage renal disease if left untreated. Treatment involves supportive care, dialysis if needed, and addressing the underlying cause. Outcomes depend on prompt diagnosis and intervention to prevent complications.
Opioids and opiates act on mu, kappa, and delta opioid receptors throughout the body and brain. Mu receptors are responsible for analgesia, respiratory depression, and euphoria, making overdose dangerous. Chronic use can increase tolerance and risk of overdose. While prescription opioids started the current crisis, many users transition to highly dangerous illegal opioids like fentanyl and fentanyl analogs. Naloxone is used to treat overdoses but very potent synthetic opioids require high doses or continuous infusion.
The document discusses opiate intoxication and treatment. It covers the history, physical exam findings, differential diagnosis, management, and complications of opiate overdose. Key signs of overdose include depressed consciousness, respiratory depression, miosis, and fresh needle marks. Treatment involves supportive care, naloxone to reverse effects, activated charcoal if ingestion was recent, and monitoring for complications like withdrawal symptoms, infections from needle use, or acute lung injury.
Opioids and opiates act on opioid receptors in the brain, spinal cord and gut to reduce pain perception. They can cause respiratory depression, physical dependence and euphoria. Opioid overdose deaths have increased significantly in recent decades. Common signs of overdose include pinpoint pupils, decreased breathing and unconsciousness. History and examination may reveal signs of drug use as well as depressed breathing and mental status. Naloxone is used to reverse effects in an overdose.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that is common in aging men. BPH occurs when the prostate gland grows larger and squeezes the urethra, causing problems with urination. Symptoms include difficulty starting or stopping urination and frequent urination, especially at night. Treatment options depend on symptom severity and include medications to shrink the prostate or relieve symptoms, minimally invasive procedures such as transurethral resection of the prostate, and surgery for severe cases. Potential complications of treatment include retrograde ejaculation and temporary difficulty urinating.

2. The term LASER stands for;
“Light Amplification
by Stimulated Emission
of Radiation”
3. A laser is a device that
emits light through a
process of optical
amplification based on
the stimulated emission
of electromagnetic
radiation.
What is a Laser?
4. It is based on the quantum mechanical phenomenon of
Stimulated emission.
Stimulated emission is the process by which an atomic
electron interacting with an electromagnetic wave of a
certain frequency may drop to a lower energy level,
transferring its energy to that field.
A new photon created in this manner has the same phase,
frequency, polarization, and direction of travel as the
photons of the incident wave.
5.
6. More electrons are needed to populate an excited level as
compared with the ground state.
This condition is known as population inversion an it is due
to meta stable levels within the population.
Process goes until the level become unstable to the extent
that electrons can no longer stay in this position and make
simultaneous transition to the ground state creating strong
spontaneous emission, which is the source of Laser
emission.

9. Principle of He-Ne Laser Operation
Has a quartz tube consists of He and Ne gas mixture in a
ratio of 10:1
As a result of electric discharge He atoms make transition to
excited state.
2nd energy level of He atom matches 3rd energy level of Ne
atom. When colliding they transfer energy to each other.
As a result Ne electrons make transition to the 3rd energy
level, Which is metastable level.
10. Electrons condense at an inverse level that result in
their simultaneous drop to 2nd energy level,
accompanied with intensive flow of photons.
This process requires the second energy level to be
maximally unoccupied so that it becomes populated
with the electrons dropped from 3rd energy level.
Continue;
11.
12. For this reason Quartz tube has specially selected size
so that Ne atoms when colliding with the walls drop the
electrons to the 1st energy level.
Continue;
13. In order to enhanced the intensity of emission, mirrors are
placed in the beginning and the in the end of the tube. One
of the mirror is semitransparent.
This will multiply internal reflections and amplifies the
intensity of the light beam and the transmission of intense
laser beam through the transparent mirror.
