Alternatives to Outdoor Daylight Illumination for Photodynamic Therapy—Use of Greenhouses and Artificial Light Sources
Daylight-mediated photodynamic therapy (daylight PDT) is a simple and pain free treatment of actinic keratoses. Weather conditions may not always allow daylight PDT outdoors. We compared the spectrum of five different lamp candidates for indoor "daylight PDT" and investigated their ability to photobleach protoporphyrin IX (PpIX). Furthermore, we measured the amount of PpIX activating daylight a...
متن کاملLight-emitting diodes as a light source for intraoperative photodynamic therapy.
The development of more cost-effective light sources for photodynamic therapy of brain tumors would be of benefit for both research and clinical applications. In this study, the use of light-emitting diode arrays for photodynamic therapy of brain tumors with Photofrin porfimer sodium was investigated. An inflatable balloon device with a light-emitting diode (LED) tip was constructed. These LEDs...
متن کاملPhotodynamic therapy: a light in the darkness?
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used to treat localized premalignant or early malignant disease. This study reports the enhanced, systemic antitumor immune response from PDT, suggesting that it may have a potential role as a therapy to address both local and disseminated disease.
متن کاملPhotodynamic therapy: shedding light on restenosis.
The major limitation of the long term success of percutaneous coronary interventions is the development of restenosis, which occurs in 30–50% of patients within six months. 2 Restenosis is the result of a complex pathophysiological process in the arterial wall in response to balloon dilatation or stent insertion. For many years the hallmark of this response to injury was considered to be the de...
