Download or read book The Science of Photomedicine written by J.D. Regan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the history of photomedicine dates back thousands of years, with even preliterate cultures appreciating the healing properties of sunlight, for many workers in the discipline photomedicine is associated with the observation about 100 years ago of Niels Finsen, a Danish physician. Finsen recognized that people with tuberculosis who lived in Norway and who had very little exposure to sunlight often developed facial lesions (lupus vulgaris) which would decrease and sometimes disappear during the summer months. This very observant physician reasoned that artificial light ought to produce the same effect as sunlight and began utilizing the radiation from the newly available carbon arc. At first, he used a glass lens to concentrate the radiation, but since this produced considerable burning, he replaced this with a hollow glass lens filled with water. However, while this reduced the heat burns, it did not actually duplicate the effect of direct sunlight. Finally, using a hollow lens filled with water but equipped with quartz windows, Finsen was able to imitate, even improve upon, the effect of sunlight. As a result, lupus vulgaris was practically eliminated from the Scandinavian countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume text provides a summary of current studies relating to the use of photosensitizing agents in the diagnosis and therapy of cancer. This interesting work describes synthesis of new sensitizers, photochemical and photobiological properties of dyes currently used for photodynamic therapy, plus those being examined with a view toward providing therapeutic advantages. It contains results and methodology from leading experts on the use of porphyrins and other photosensitizers for detection of neoplastic disease and for photodynamic therapy of neoplastic disease. The volumes focus on the major clinical and pre-clinical research groups. They also include an appended bibliography which lists all pertinent publications in this field. This easy-to-understand book is written for all workers in the field of photodynamic therapy and provides an introduction to those beginning research on some aspect of tumor photosensitization.
Download or read book Light Therapeutics written by John Harvey Kellogg and published by . This book was released on 2024-05-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2024 Hardcover Reprint of the 1910 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. The scientific use of light to heal the body in modern times was predominantly an invention of nineteenth-century health reformers; and while the religion of the ancient Egyptians was far from most of the minds of practitioners of light therapy, they were nevertheless participating in an ancient practice of looking to the sun for health. In his 1910 work, Light Therapeutics, Kellogg summed up the short history of light therapy (also called phototherapy or heliotherapy) yet also recognized its ancient roots: "Heliotherapy, or the use of sunlight as a curative means, is one of the oldest of natural healing agents....It is only within the last twenty years, however, that the physiological and therapeutic effects of light derived from natural and artificial sources have been made the subject of careful scientific study. Within this period numerous investigators have devoted themselves to the study of this subject, and the extended researches [sic] that have been made have resulted in the development of a new class of therapeutic methods, principles and measures which constitute the science of phototherapy." Quoted from: https: //link.springer.com/article/10.1057/s42738-022-00092-7 This book describes in detail Kellogg's philosophy and practice of curing ailments with the use of light. Profusely illustrated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phototherapy, the use of light to treat a variety of conditions, is not new and has been researched for well over 100 years. It has mainly been confined to ultraviolet wavelengths for its antibacterial properties. With the advent of LASER and Light Emitting Diodes, treatment in the visible spectrum and its fringes has gained credence both from research and through anecdotally reported results. This book aims to look at its application along with the theory and science underpinning its use in clinical practice. It will also suggest some explanations of how cellular structures are directly affected.

Download or read book Chemical Aspects of Photodynamic Therapy written by Raymond Bonnett and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2000-08-07 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a ground breaking medical technique which uses lasers to activate light-sensitive chemicals to treat cancer and other diseases without resorting to surgery. For the first time, Chemical Aspects of Photodynamic Therapy introduces in an accessible way the physics, chemistry and biology behind the technique. This highly authoritative account of the account of the rapidly developing field of PDT explores its chemical basis, while presenting information in its historical context. Haematoporphyrin derivative is considered in detail, together with the new 'second generation' photosensitisers , such as chlorins, bacteriochlorins and phthalocyanines. Photosensitisers which are currently in clinical trials are compared and reference is made to new light sources, biological and clinical findings, and prospects for future developments. This book is essential reading for new students and researchers alike studying PDT. It is recommended particularly for photochemists, as well as photobiologists and clinicians. About the author Raymond Bonnett was born in London in 1931. After a spell in the air force, he graduated from Imperial College, going on to Cambridge to research under Alexander Todd and A.W. Johnson and then to Harvard to work with R.B. Woodward. He is now Scotia Research Professor of Chemistry at Queen Mary and Wesfield College, University of London, UK. He has been active in research on photosensitisers for 25 years and has published over 200 papers on the chemistry of porphyrins and related compounds.
