Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation UBI - The Power of Light! Ultraviolet blood irradiation (simple called UBI) is a cure that time has indeed forgotten. UBI was extensively used in the 1940’s and 1950’s to treat medical conditions including pneumonia, tuberculosis and even cancer. The advent of antibiotics lead to a decline in the use of UBI as an effective treatment option.

Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a disinfection method that uses short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV-C) light to kill or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acids and disrupting their DNA, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions.he effectiveness of germicidal UV depends on the length of time a microorganism is exposed to UV, the intensity and wavelength of the UV radiation, the presence of particles that can protect the microorganisms from UV, and a microorganism’s ability to withstand UV during its exposure.

- Many people with psoriasis notice an improvement in their skin after they have been in the sunshine. The use of the sun’s rays has been used to treat psoriasis for over a century, however, of the many different ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun, only UVA and UVB are helpful to people with psoriasis.

Meradimate UVB causes sunburn at the outer layers of skin, but UVA causes sun damage that reach deeper layers of skin. Both UVA and UVB radiation can contribute to the development of skin cancer. Most sunscreen ingredients protect against UVB rays, but meradimate absorbs UVA radiation and is therefore included in many sunscreens. There are no known issues with meradimate in terms of toxicity and it does not appear to be absorbed into the skin.

Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation is a disinfection method that uses short-wavelength ultraviolet light to kill or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acids and disrupting their DNA, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions. UVGI is used in a variety of applications, such as food, air, and water purification. UV-C light is weak at the Earth's surface as the ozone layer of the atmosphere blocks it. UVGI devices can produce strong enough UV-C light in circulating air or

Phototherapy for Jaundice in Newborns - Topic Overview Phototherapy is the most common treatment for reducing high bilirubin levels that cause jaundice in a newborn.In the standard form of phototherapy, your baby lies in a bassinet or enclosed plastic crib (incubator) and is exposed to a type of fluorescent light that is absorbed by your baby's skin.uring this type of phototherapy: 1  The baby is undressed so that as much of the skin as possible is exposed to the light. 2  The baby's eyes are covered to protect the nerve layer at the back of the eye (retina) from the bright light. 3  Feeding should continue on a regular schedule.

Treatment of Latent TB Infection There are several treatment regimens available for the treatment of latent TB infection (LTBI) (see Table 2). For persons who are at especially high risk for TB disease and are either suspected of nonadherence or are given an intermittent dosing regimen, directly observed therapy (DOT) for LTBI should be considered.

- The other type of ‘UV’ therapy is known as PUVA, and is a combination of the UVA part of the spectrum and a chemical called psoralen (this is where the ‘p’ in PUVA comes from). UVA light is not useful in treating psoriasis on its own, and so psoralen is needed to make the skin more sensitive to it.

Overview RLT is a form of light therapy that uses light emitting diodes (LED) to treat conditions from acne to persistent wounds. Some people with psoriasis undergo light therapy with ultraviolet (UV) rays, but RLT doesn’t contain any UV rays. In a hospital setting, when RLT is combined with certain medication, it may be referred to as photodynamic therapy.

- PUVA is used to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis that has not responded to topical treatments, or UVB therapy. PUVA can be more successful on thicker plaques of psoriasis than UVB, as the UVA is absorbed deeper in the skin. For the same reason, hand and foot psoriasis is often treated with PUVA therapy. Like UVB, PUVA is given in a phototherapy unit and administered by a team of health professionals.

Psoriasis Medications Sunlamps and tanning booths are not acceptable substitutes for medical light sources. Ultraviolet light from any source is known to produce skin cancer, but this side effect is minimized when the light is appropriately administered in a physician's office. UV-B: Ultraviolet B (UV-B) light is used to treat psoriasis. UV-B is light with wavelengths of 290-320 nanometers (nm), shorter than the range of visible light. (Visible light ranges from 400-700 nm.) UV-B therapy may usually be combined with one or more topical treatments.

PUVA Therapy (Photochemotherapy) PUVA (psoralen and ultraviolet A radiation) treatment has been used for decades to treat severe psoriasis. In this combination therapy, the psoralen, taken internally, acts as a skin sensitizer.The sensitized skin affected by psoriasis can then be treated by ultraviolet A radiation.UVA is also of benefit in treating vitiligo, mycosis fungoides (cutaneous T-cell lymphoma), and graft versus host disease. The most common form of therapy combines 8-methoxypsoralen taken by mouth followed 45-60 minutes later by exposure of the skin to UVA.

Definitions PUVA is a combination of UVA light and a chemical called psoralen (P). UVA is not beneficial in treating psoriasis on its own; instead it must be combined with psoralen (a chemical derived from plants) which makes the skin more sensitive to the UVA light.
