    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A new flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser with 1,5 ms pulse length and tunable wavelengths between 585 and 600 nm (Candela ScleroPLUS) is now available for the treatment of ectatic leg veins. We evaluated 232 single test treatments using 595 and 600 nm wavelength in 75 test persons. For smaller vessels up to a diameter of 0,5 mm, treatments at 16 and 18 J/cm2 showed good results in 60 and 82% respectively; for vessels up to 1 mm in 27 and 33%. Treatment at 595 nm was a little more effective than at 600 nm. Larger vessels could not be treated effectively. The main side effects consisted in hyper- (34%) or hypopigmentation (30%). Thus, in addition to the usual sclerotherapy, this laser is a useful device for the treatment of leg vein ectasia.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Zur Behandlung kosmetisch störender Besenreiser steht ein neuer blitzlampengepumpter gepulster Farstofflaser mit 1,5 ms Impulsdauer und verschiedenen Wellenlängen zwischen 585 und 600 nm zur Verfügung (Candela ScleroPLUS). Wir evaluierten 232 einmalige Probebehandlungen mit 595 und 600 nm Wellenlänge bei 75 Probanden. Bei kleineren Gefäßen bis 0,5 mm Durchmesser konnte bei Behandlung mit 16 bzw. 18 J/cm2 unter Zusammenfassung beider Wellenlängen in 60 bzw. 82% der Fälle ein zufriedenstellendes Ergebnis erzielt werden, bei Gefäßen bis 1 mm noch in knapp 27 bzw. 33%, wobei bei 595 nm tendenziell bessere Ergebnisse als bei 600 nm beobachtet werden konnten. Bei größeren Gefäßen zeigte sich kein deutlicher Erfolg. Die Nebenwirkungen beschränkten sich im wesentlichen auf Hyper- (34%) und Hypopigmentierungen (30%). Dieser Laser stellt somit eine sinnvolle Ergänzung zur herkömmlichen Sklerosierungstherapie dar.

    Notes: Abstract The nasal cavity is the main passage for air flow between the ambient atmosphere and the lungs. A preliminary requisite for any investigation of the mechanisms of each of its main physiological functions, such as filtration, air-conditioning and olfaction, is a basic knowledge of the air-flow pattern in this cavity. However, its complex three-dimensional structure and inaccessibility has traditionally prevented a detailed examination of internalin vivo orin vitro airflow patterns. To gain more insight into the flow pattern in inaccessible regions of the nasal cavity we have conducted a mathematical simulation of asymmetric airflow patterns through the nose. Development of a nose-like model, which resembles the complex structure of the nasal cavity, has allowed for a detailed analysis of various boundary conditions and structural parameters. The coronal and sagittal cross-sections of the cavity were modeled as trapezoids. The inferior and middle turbinates were represented by curved plates that emerge from the lateral walls. The airflow was considered to be incompressible, steady and laminar. Numerical computations show that the main air flux is along the cavity floor, while the turbinate structures direct the flow in an anterior-posterior direction. The presence of the turbinates and the trapezoidal shape of the cavity force more air flux towards the olfactory organs at the top of the cavity.
