An Exploration of the Feasibility of Combining Radiation Therapy with Psoralen Phototherapy
<p>Radiation therapy (RT) has been a standard-of-care treatment for many localized cancers for decades. Despite being an effective treatment modality for many clinical presentations, the efficacy of RT against cancer can be limited due to local recurrence, metastatic spread, and radiation …

FLEXIBLE GEL IMPLANT LOADED WITH PERSISTENT LUMINESCE NANOPARTICLES FOR PHOTOTHERAPY IN DEEP TISSUES
Phototherapy, an effective medical treatment using light with minimal side effects, is limited for deep-seated diseases due to low UV and visible light penetration (1-3 mm). While X-rays penetrate deeper, their direct use in phototherapy is challenging for optogenetic and photodynamic therapies, as …

An exploration of pathography within phototherapy : an analysis of the photographic self-portrait
… ‘pathography’ and developing a new method within phototherapy, and, in doing so, provide a material progression in the context of the artist as a photographer. Recommendations are also made in respect of the implementation of this new method. Guidance is provided for researchers who wish to …

The effect of device position and use of transparent covers on the irradiance distribution of LED phototherapy devices
Background Effective phototherapy reduces neonatal jaundice and its complications. Irradiance increases as the distance of the light source decreases from a single phototherapy light. There are limited studies of the effect of distance and positional changes on different LED light designs on …

Psychotherapists’ experience of client-initiated sharing of a photograph in therapy
… counselling and psychotherapy. The field of phototherapy, which explores the therapeutic use of photographs as an adjunct technique, has provided valuable evidence and strategies for employing photographs to support client healing. However, the experiences of therapists who are not formally …

Development of small-diameter endoscope capable of high-resolution visualization and laser therapy through a shared optical aperture
… to illuminate, visualize, and apply a phototherapy laser to a surgical scene. Unfortunately, some candidate MIS procedures are not presently possible due to the insufficiently small diameter of currently available endoscopes, which is the result of illumination, visualization, and …

Two-Photon Microscopy of E-Combretastatin uptake and activation in live mammalian cells
… UV/visiblelight. Here a novel form of two-photon phototherapy is proposed, in which the "inactive"fnms(£)-combretastatins are used as anticancer pro-drugs that may be activated (converted tothe cw-isomer) by localized irradiation with light at the tumour site. The use of near-infrared(NIR) light …

Synthesis and evaluation of novel antivascular agents for two-photon activation
… light. Previously, a novel form of two-photon phototherapy was proposed, in which the “inactive” trans(E)-combretastatins are used as pro-drugs that may be activated (converted to the cis-isomer) by localized irradiation with light at the tumour site. The use of near-infrared (NIR) light to …

Flexible and transparent microcavity plasma devices: fabricated by polymer-based replica molding technique
… displays, a radiation source for medical phototherapy, and photonic circuit light sources. In this thesis, the basic physics of plasma discharges is discussed and the performance and fabrication of microplasma devices by a replica molding process is presented in detail.
