Low-level light therapy (LLLT), also known as photo biomodulation (PBM), is a type of optical therapy that uses red or near-infrared lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for medical treatment. The laser wavelengths involved in PBM typically range between 600–700 nm and 780–1100 nm, with power densities ranging between 5 mW/cm2 and 5 W/cm2. PBM is a series of biochemical cascades exhibited by biological

Raman spectroscopy combined with multivariate statistical algorithms for the simultaneous screening of cervical and breast cancers Lasers Med. Sci. (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2024-02-20
Abstract Breast and cervical cancers are becoming the leading causes of death among women worldwide, but current diagnostic methods have many drawbacks, such as being time-consuming and high cost. Raman spectroscopy, as a rapid, reliable, and non-destructive spectroscopic detection technique, has achieved many breakthrough results in the screening and prognosis of various cancer tumors. Therefore,
