Providing the most comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of this
exciting biomedical field, Handbook of Photomedicine gathers
together a large team of international experts to give you a
complete account of the application of light in healthcare and
medical science. The book progresses logically from the history and
fundamentals of photomedicine to diverse therapeutic applications
of light, known collectively as phototherapies. It facilitates your
understanding of human diseases caused by light, the rationale for
photoprotection, and major applications of phototherapy in clinical
practice. The handbook begins with a series of historical vignettes
of pioneers from the last two centuries. It also presents the
fundamentals of physics and biology as applied to photomedicine. It
next examines conditions and diseases caused by light, including
skin cancer, dermatoses, and immunosuppression. The remainder of
the book focuses on the most important clinical therapeutic
applications of different kinds of light that vary in both
wavelength and intensity. The book discusses ultraviolet
phototherapy for skin diseases and infections and presents the
basic science of photodynamic therapy and its use in cancer therapy
and other medical specialties. It then covers mechanistic studies
and clinical applications of low-level laser (light) therapy as
well as the use of high power or surgical laser therapy in
specialties, such as dentistry and dermatology. The book concludes
with a collection of miscellaneous types of phototherapy.
