Brain Responses to Violet, Blue, and Green Monochromatic Light Exposures in Humans: Prominent Role of Blue Light and the Brainstem

BACKGROUND Relatively long duration retinal light exposure elicits nonvisual responses in humans, including modulation of alertness and cognition. These responses are thought to be mediated in part by melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells which are more sensitive to blue light than violet or green light. The contribution of the melanopsin system and the brain mechanisms involved in the e...

Role of metalloproteases in retinal degeneration induced by violet and blue light.

INTRODUCTION An essential role for metalloproteases (MMPs) has been described in blood vessel neoformation and the removal of cell debris. MMPs also play a key role in degenerative processes and in tumors. The participation of these enzymes in light-induced phototoxic processes is supported by both experimental and clinical data. Given that patients with age-related macular degeneration often s...

Violet and blue light amplification in Nd 3+ -doped fluoroindate glasses

Comparative Sensitivity of Trichophyton and Aspergillus Conidia to Inactivation by Violet-Blue Light Exposure.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the use of 405 nm light for inhibiting the growth of selected species of dermatophytic and saprophytic fungi. BACKGROUND DATA The increasing incidence and resilience of dermatophytic fungal infections is a major issue, and alternative treatment methods are being sought. METHODS The sensitivity of the dermatophytic fungi Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrop...
