High impact information on Potassium titanylphosphate

• MATERIALS AND METHODS: Obstructive benign prostatic hyperplasia in 94 men was treated with transurethral near contact vaporization with potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser with the patient under general or spinal anesthesia [7].
• BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Recently, the use of the potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser with a wavelength of 532 nm, which is half the wavelength of the neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser, has been expanding in many fields, since this laser offers hemostasis and vaporization with minimal coagulation of the underlying structures [8].
• METHODS: The results of a MEDLINE search for randomised trials and case series of the last 5 yr and published review articles were analysed for the safety and efficacy of neodymium:yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG), potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP), and holmium (Ho):YAG laser prostatectomy [9].

Chemical compound and disease context of Potassium titanylphosphate

• Carbon dioxide laser energy is strongly absorbed by the water molecule and is rendered ineffective in the presence of blood so the visible light lasers, argon and potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP/532) lasers, are more suitable for the treatment of ovarian endometriomas and ectopic pregnancies [12].
• BACKGROUND: Carbon dioxide (CO2) (lambda = 10.6 mm), argon (lambda = 514 nm), and Potassium-Titanyl-Phosphate Neodynium: Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet (KTP[Nd:YAG]) (lambda = 532 nm) lasers are used for stapes surgery and in the treatment of chronic ear disease [13].

Anatomical context of Potassium titanylphosphate

• OBJECTIVES: This study aims to investigate safety and efficacy of 80 watt high-power potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser vaporization of the prostate in men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) [19].
• Following laparoscopic access to the peritoneal cavity, a midline bladder seromyotomy was performed using the potassium titanyl phosphate 532 nm laser [20].
• Because no data are available concerning the histopathological effects of the potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser on central nervous tissue, a study was performed using a canine model to compare the histopathological effects of a commonly used laser (CO2) and the KTP laser on brain and spinal cord tissue [21].
• We determined laser parameters and delivery system requirements for successful use of the potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser for strabismus surgery and its histopathologic effect on extraocular muscle, tendon, sclera, and cornea of human and rabbit eyes [22].
• Patients with residual Barrett's epithelium were treated with supplemental argon plasma coagulation or potassium titanyl phosphate laser [23].

Associations of Potassium titanylphosphate with other chemical compounds

• For such heavily absorbing single crystals as lithium iodate, paratellurite or potassium titanyl phosphate, the differential absorption between left-handed and right-handed circularly polarized X-ray photons cannot be measured in transmission but gyrotropy effects can still be detected in fluorescence excitation spectra [24].
