The answer is photocoagulation.

The use of a laser beam to seal leaky blood vessels and to prevent the growth of new ones in diabetic retinopathy is called laser <u>photocoagulation.</u>

<u></u>

What is photocoagulation?

A minimally invasive method used to treat numerous retinal illnesses is photocoagulation of the retina, also known as retinal laser photocoagulation. The retina may expand due to aberrant leaky blood vessels developing across it in a number of disorders. Laser photocoagulation uses thermal energy above 65 °C to burn the retinal tissue by creating thermal burns. This can prevent the retina from being damaged by the bleeding blood vessels. In addition to causing fibrosis, laser photocoagulation can also seal retinal tears. Laser photocoagulation is typically unable to recover already lost vision in cases of retinal disease, but it can slow the progression of the condition, lower the chance of further vision loss, and preserve residual vision. The likelihood of problems following the operation is quite minimal.

How would life on earth be different if earth’s axis were not tilted with respect to its orbit?
Vladimir [108]

If Earth's axis was "straight up and down" instead of tilted, then ...

<span>-- There would be no seasons.

-- The climate at any one place would be the same all year around. 

-- The days would be the same length, everywhere,
    and all year around.

-- So would the nights.

-- The sun would be up a little more than 12 hours every day.
    It would be down a little less than 12 hours every day.

-- At the middle of the day, the sun would be at the same height
   in the sky all year around, not higher in some months and lower
   in others.

-- The equator would be the only place on Earth where the sun
    could ever be directly over your head.

-- If you were at the north pole or the south pole, the sun would be
   down on the horizon, and it would just go around and around you
   every day.  It would never rise or set, and it would never get any
   higher or lower.

When the distance between two masses is doubled, the gravitational attraction between
mrs_skeptik [129]

The new gravitational attraction will be 1/4 as much

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, the original force between the two objects is F, when they are separated by a distance r.

Later, the distance between the two objects is doubled, so the new distance is

r'=2r

Therefore, the new force will be

F'=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{(2r)^2}=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2})=\frac{F}{4}

Therefore, the new force will be one-fourth as much.
