Light transmission measurements and phototherapy eyepatches.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The transmission characteristics of phototherapy eyeshields have been measured under conditions that mimic the clinical situation. Peak transmission (less than 10%) was detected at 700 nm for the poorest patch tested and less than 2% for either of the other patches examined. The optics of measurement systems are considered with reference both to this and previous studies of light transmission through eyepatches. The simplicity and effectiveness with which eyepatches can be secured may be as important as their transmission characteristics.

Light transmission of phototherapy eyeshields.
Twelve types of phototherapy eyeshields showed peak light transmission of less than 0.1%, and none transmitted greater than 0.04% light in the 460 nm spectral region. Commercial eyeshields offered no advantage over locally made ones. The choice of shield may be less important than how it is secured over the infant's eyes.
متن کاملEffects of the Different Light-Source Distances from the Skin Surface in Conventional Photother-apy
Phototherapy is a conventional method of lowering serum bilirubin in newborn jaundice. We evaluated the short distance in relation to conventional long distance phototherapy between the light-source and the skin surface. Healthy jaundiced neonates undergoing phototherapy were randomized into two groups. The distance between the light-source and the newborn's skin was 20 and 40 centimeters (G20;...
متن کاملMist and water condensation inside incubators reduce the efficacy of phototherapy.
OBJECTIVE To measure the irradiance in humidified incubator under three different overhead phototherapy devices. DESIGN/METHODS The effective irradiance of three phototherapy devices was assessed by taking a series of irradiance measurements in the illuminated field. Measurements were made with a fixed bandwidth broadband radiometer (380-530 nm). The distance between the light source and the ...
متن کاملThermal considerations in murine tumor killing using hematoporphyrin derivative phototherapy.
Tumor cell killing utilizing hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) phototherapy was studied in a murine tumor model to assess the relative importance of intratumor temperature in causing the tumoricidal effect. Temperature measurements and tumor killing without HPD strongly suggest that HPD phototherapy as reported previously by other workers has at least partially a hyperthermic effect. Also, it is...
متن کاملBlue and red light combination LED phototherapy for acne vulgaris in patients with skin phototype IV.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Blue light is effective for acne treatment, inducing photodynamic destruction of Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes). This study was designed to investigate the efficacy of combined blue and red light-emitting diode (LED) phototherapy for acne vulgaris. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four patients with mild to moderately severe facial acne were treated with quasimonochr...
