Comparative morphological investigation on the rabbit's auricle after exposure to CO2- and Nd:YAG-laser radiation.

By comparing the effects of CO2- and Nd:YAG-laser radiation (mainly differing in wave-length by a factor of 10), a surgical instrument suitable for Otorhinolaryngology had to be found. The studies were performed on the rabbit's auricle in order to examine the effect of the laser irradiation mainly on the cartilage. The CO2-laser was found to be more efficient in cutting and caused less extended tissue damage than the Nd:YAG-laser. The latter seems to be more suitable for soft tissue surgery.

[Decrease of latency of auditory evoked potentials in humans practicing transcendental meditation (author's transl].

Slow cortical auditory responses were recorded from humans practicing transcendental meditation. The potentials were computated according to Fig. 1, and the latencies of the positive peaks P1 and P2 and of the negative peaks N1 and N2 were measured as well as the areas of the on-effect FON, of the off-effect FOFF and of the DC-shift FDC during the stimulus duration. Latencies for most of the initial peaks during TM as well as during normal consciousness were significantly shorter than in a control group in a dozing state or during normal consciousness (Table 1 and Fig. 2). Certain differences were also found in regard to other parameters such as amplitudes and areas of the auditory evoked response.
