Compositions, methods and apparatuses for phototherapy to treat skin disorders. In particular, described herein are methods, compositions, phototherapy dressings for use with phototherapy UV light applicators (sources) and phototherapy UV light applicators to treat skin disorders such as psoriasis.

A heating element for a sauna comprising an infrared heating element and a water filter for filtering out the far and mid infrared frequencies.

An optical filter may reduce the frequency and/or severity of photophobic responses or for modulating circadian cycles by controlling light exposure to cells in the human eye in certain wavelengths, such as 480 nm and 590 nm, and a visual spectral response of the human eye. The optical filter may disrupt the isomerization of melanopsin in the human eye reducing the availability of the active isoform, whereas the attenuation of light weighted across the action potential spectrum of the active isoform attenuates the phototransduction cascade leading to photophobic responses. Embodiments of an optical filter are described. In one embodiment an optical filter may be configured to transmit less than a first amount of light in certain wavelengths, and to transmit more than a second amount of light weighted across the visual spectral response. Methods of use and methods of manufacturing optical filters are also described.

Devices, systems, and methods for a treating dementia or Alzheimer's disease in a subject in need thereof. In one example, combined auditory and visual stimuli having a frequency of about 20 Hz to about 60 Hz, and more specifically about 40 Hz, are non-invasively delivered to the subject to induce synchronized gamma oscillations in at least one brain region of the subject. In particular, pursuant to various treatment and exposure protocols, combined auditory and visual stimulation (as opposed to auditory or visual stimulation alone) promotes a microglia response in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). More generally, combined auditory and visual stimulation induces an extended microglia clustering response in the auditory cortex, the visual cortex, and the mPFC.

Body-worn air-treatment devices comprise a body that is configured to be selectively coupled proximate to a respiratory tract inlet of a living individual, and a pathogen-deactivating mechanism that is supported by the body. Methods comprise deactivating pathogens proximate to a respiratory tract inlet of a living individual.

There is described an implantable apparatus for interacting with biological tissue. The apparatus generally has a base; a plurality of strands each having an elongated body with a proximal end fixed to said base and a distal end opposite the said proximal end, the plurality of strands being entwined with one another to form a thread of entwined strands; and a plurality of biological interaction devices extending between the base and the plurality of strands, the biological interaction devices each having a biological interaction element located along the elongated body of a corresponding one of the plurality of strands and interacting with surrounding biological tissue when the thread of entwined strands is implanted into the biological tissue.

A device includes an angiography module, a phototherapy module, a carrier including an optical filter and accommodating the angiography module and the phototherapy module, and a control unit controlling operation of the angiography module and the phototherapy module. The angiography module includes infrared LEDs emitting infrared light through the optical filter to irradiate a limb of a subject, and an infrared sensor sensing a part of the infrared light reflected off the limb to generate a result, based on which the control unit generates an angiogram. The phototherapy module emits infrared light through the optical filter to irradiate the limb for phototherapy.

An aspect of the present disclosure relates to an electronic device, and more particularly, to an electronic device that may include: a substrate; a plurality of light emitting devices, disposed on the substrate; a wavelength converting layer, disposed on the substrate, wherein the plurality of the light emitting devices emit a light of same color, wherein light emitted from the light emitting devices is converted by going through the wavelength converting layer, wherein the converted light is extracted to outside of the electronic device, and has a wavelength longer than that of the light emitted from the light emitting devices. Through this, an electronic device can be provided emitting light having a wavelength from which effects of inflammation treatments and skin regeneration can be acquired.

A device comprising a housing having a handle end and a treatment end. The treatment end is configured to provide an antimicrobial treatment and a heat treatment.
