Systems and methods for phototherapeutic modulation of nitric oxide in mammalian tissue include use of a first wavelength and first radiant flux of light to stimulate enzymatic generation of nitric oxide, and use of a second wavelength and second radiant flux of light to stimulate release of nitric oxide from endogenous stores of nitric oxide. Pulsed light and/or partially non-overlapping light impingement windows may be used. Non-coherent light impinged on tissue may include a peak wavelength in a range of from 410 nm to 440 nm in the absence of light emissions having a peak wavelength of from 600 nm to 900 nm.

The present invention provides for devices and methods of treating wounds, including general wounds, gum disease and gingival tissues post scaling/root planning, using a diode laser which generates a beam of light having a wavelength in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (400 nm-700 nm). Further disclosed are devices and methods capable of stimulating tissue regeneration at the site of a wound.

The present invention relates generally to systems, devices, and methods for tracking compliance of orthodontic appliance usage, and more specifically to systems, devices, and methods for tracking compliance of orthodontic appliance usage using a compliance device and/or a light therapy apparatus. The invention provides compliances device that can be configured to be disposed within a patient's mouth. In some embodiments, the compliance device can comprise a sensor configured to detect an input associated with whether an orthodontic appliance is at least partially disposed within the patient's mouth at a first time and at a second time, with the second time being subsequent to the first time.

A stent device including a stent coated with a photosensitizer, the stent including a pair of electrodes; and a circuit fixed to the stent, the circuit including a light emitting diode, a power receiving means for wirelessly receiving power from the outside, and converting the power to electric power; a second communicating means for receiving a control command from the outside; and a second control means for applying, based on the control command, the electric power to the electrodes causing an electric current to flow through the stent between the electrodes, the flow causing heating of the stent, and for controlling a temperature of the stent to provide hyperthermia therapy to a tumor, the second control means further for applying, based on the control command, the electric power to the light emitting diode to emit a predetermined wavelength of light to the photosensitizer to provide photodynamic therapy to the tumor.

A device includes an electromagnetic radiation delivery system such as a laser of light emitting diode infrared emitter configured for delivery of electromagnetic radiation within a sealed canal such as an ear canal, a fiber optic cable configured for delivering or capturing the electromagnetic radiation within the sealed canal, and a photo detector coupled to the fiber optic cable forming a portion of a voice communication system. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A system and method for identifying a post cecum position of an ingestible, phototherapeutic capsule traveling through a gastrointestinal (GI) tract to prevent intestinal blockage and facilitating deployment of additional phototherapeutic capsules in accordance with patient needs. The system employs an ex-vitro beacon in wireless communication with the capsule. The ex-vitro beacon is deployed in the vicinity of the McBurney's point to direct a beacon signal toward the cecum to identify capsule passage into the large intestine less prone to blockage.

A light treatment system includes: a probe configured to be inserted into a body cavity, the probe including an optical fiber configured to propagate light, and a light emitter that is provided at a distal end of the optical fiber, the emitter being configured to emit the light; a balloon catheter into which the probe is inserted, the balloon catheter including a distal end portion that is to be inserted into the body cavity and that is to be dilated by being supplied with a liquid including air bubbles; and an air bubble generator configured to generate the air bubbles to be included in the liquid and change a property of the air bubbles.

A computer-based system for receiving, analyzing, processing, managing and sending personal health information, and other information in conjunction with use of one or more personal nebulizer or vaporizing devices and personal breath analysis devices. System devices include a personal nebulizer or vaporizing unit with a mouthpiece, which may be detachable and replaceable. The mouthpiece includes an orifice through which vapor is emitted. The substance to be vaporized is contained in an ampoule inserted into the device, where the substance enters an atomization chamber where vaporization is achieved through piezoelectric transducers or atomizers providing sonic or ultrasonic vibration. The substance includes a variety of therapeutic, homeopathic, or naturopathic formulations, remedies, or serums.

This disclosure relates to various systems and methods related to preventative laser-based treatment of a dental tissue; for example, to prevent a patient from forming cavities. In some instances, a laser-based treatment system can generate a laser beam pulse with a fluence profile at a treatment site that results in either an increase in acid resistance of the tissue or removal of carbonate from the tissue, without melting or ablating the tissue. In some instances, the laser-based treatment system can direct the laser beam to various locations within a treatment site according to a temporal and/or spatial pattern, that results in either an increase in acid resistance of the tissue or removal of carbonate from the tissue, without melting or ablating the tissue. Many other systems and techniques for preventative and other laser-based treatment are also described.
