Examining the Relationships Between Indoor Environmental Quality Parameters Pertaining to Light, Noise, Temperature, and Humidity and the Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of People Living With Dementia: Scoping Review

Examining the Relationships Between Indoor Environmental Quality Parameters Pertaining to Light, Noise, Temperature, and Humidity and the Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of People Living With Dementia: Scoping Review

Of these 16 studies, 14 (88%) examined the effect of changing light exposure in RCTs (n=6, 43%) [30,35,37,46,54,55] or quasi-experimental study designs (n=8, 57%) [26,27,29,32,36,38,56,60], while 2 (12%) examined the effect of light on agitated behaviors in a purely observational or natural history study [24,25]. Among the light therapies studied were bright light therapy [30,35,46,54,55] and outdoor environment simulations, such as dawn-dusk simulation [29,56].

Photosensitivity From Avapritinib: Pharamacovigilance Analysis

Photosensitivity From Avapritinib: Pharamacovigilance Analysis

Humans have been exposed to UV light for millions of years. This exposure has beneficial effects in increasing vitamin D levels and in treating psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis, and scleroderma among others [1]. However, this same UV light can increase the risk of skin carcinoma, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration. Certain drugs have been found to increase the sensitivity of the skin to sunlight.

Phototherapy Using a Light-Emitting Fabric (BUBOLight) Device in the Treatment of Newborn Jaundice: Protocol for an Interventional Feasibility and Safety Study

Phototherapy Using a Light-Emitting Fabric (BUBOLight) Device in the Treatment of Newborn Jaundice: Protocol for an Interventional Feasibility and Safety Study

Bilirubin is a yellow pigment that preferentially absorbs blue, violet, or green light (400-490 nm) [6]. Phototherapy (PT) is used as first-line treatment for hyperbilirubinemia. The aim of PT is to decrease or prevent an increase in the concentration of circulating bilirubin by using blue light. Light absorption by bilirubin induces the formation of photoisomers that can be excreted in the urine or bile, thus bypassing hepatic conjugation [7,8].

Designing, Prototyping and Evaluating Digital Mindfulness Applications: A Case Study of Mindful Breathing for Stress Reduction

Designing, Prototyping and Evaluating Digital Mindfulness Applications: A Case Study of Mindful Breathing for Stress Reduction

Influenced by somaesthetics [40], Höök and her colleagues translated experiential insights from long-term practice of Feldenkrais exercises into a design prototype called Breathing Light [41], an enclosed space for reflection utilizing body movements. Sensors measure chest movements that control a lamp so the light changes according to breathing patterns. Their somaesthetic design engaged people by increasing their awareness of internal bodily sensations rather than external processes.
