Abstract: The present disclosure provides a controller for modulating phototherapeutic treatment of inflammatory conditions by modulating electromagnetic radiation output from a phototherapy apparatus based on respiratory data from a respiration sensor. The controller modulates a property of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the light source based on the received respiratory data, such that at least one of: the phototherapy is decreased in response to a positive trend in the respiratory data or the phototherapy is increased in response to a negative trend in the respiratory data.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for treating ischemic stroke by illuminating a skin surface to reduce free radical generation in subsurface target tissues (e.g., the brain following an ischemic event). The method utilizes a waveguide that receives light from a light source. The waveguide is placed adjacent a skin surface of a patient and the waveguide emits light that passes through the skin surface and illuminates a subsurface target tissue. The waveguide includes light-extracting features configured to emit light at a target angle relative to the surface tissue. That is, the light-extracting features alter a trajectory of light emitted by the waveguide, such that a larger percentage of light emitted by the light guide has an angle that is +/?25 degrees off of a center line of the light guide.

Abstract: A light guide assembly for use with a retractor having a channel for slidably receiving an end portion of a light guide. The light guide assembly includes a light guide having the end portion for slidably inserting into the channel and retentor for releasably holding in position the end portion relative to the retractor.

Abstract: A medical illumination system is provided for modulating properties of light emitted by a light source of the illumination system based on properties of a spot size defining an area illuminated by the emitted light.

Abstract: A phototherapeutic footwear is provided for treating vitamin D deficiency using UVB light and red light. The phototherapy device includes a light source configured to emit UVB light to stimulate production of vitamin D by a patient's body and to emit red light to stimulate melatonin production by the patient's body. The light source and a power source are mechanically supported by a main body, such that the UVB light and red light are directed onto a skin of a patient.

Abstract: An illuminated bassinet including a light source for delivering therapeutic light and anti-bacterial light, where an interlock prevents the anti-bacterial light from being emitted while an infant is located in the bassinet. Also, a surgical illuminator configured to concurrently or alternately emit different wavelengths of light for treating a physiological condition and for affecting perception of the surgical opening.

Abstract: A photobiomodulation (PBM) device including eyewear (e.g., incorporating prescription or non-prescription lenses) that is worn throughout the day is provided. The PBM device provides longer-term light delivery throughout the day and may capture patient compliance, provide real-time dose adjustments, and allow for HIPAA-compliant communication with the prescribing clinician. The PBM device provides a wearable, open eye device format designed for increased compliance, lower cost, and greater convenience.

In one aspect, an electrode assembly comprises an elongate lead and a lead guide that are engageable with each other in a coaxial relationship. When the elongate lead and the lead guide are engaged with each other, the two components are rotationally fixed in relation to each other. In another aspect, an elongate lead comprises a radiologically-visible feature for indicating the orientation of the elongate lead. In yet another aspect, an electrode system is capable of determining the position and/or orientation of an electrode positioned within a body. In other aspects, methods for electrically stimulating a target site in the body are disclosed.
