The present invention relates to methods for treating cell proliferation disorders comprising (1) administering to the subject at least one activatable pharmaceutical agent that is capable of activation by a simultaneous two photon absorption event and of effecting a predetermined cellular change when activated, (2) administering at least one plasmonics-active agent to the subject, and (3) applying an initiation energy from an initiation energy source to the subject, wherein the plasmonics-active agent enhances or modifies the applied initiation energy, such that the enhanced or modified initiation energy activates the activatable pharmaceutical agent by the simultaneous two photon absorption event in situ, thus causing the predetermined cellular change to occur, wherein said predetermined cellular change treats the cell proliferation related disorder, and the use of plasmonics enhanced photospectral therapy (PEPST) and exiton-plasmon enhanced phototherapy (EPEP) in the treatment of various cell proliferation disorders, and the PEPST and EPEP agents and probes

A phototherapy device includes a light source for emitting light of a suitable wavelength and a programmable controller connectable to the light source for controlling the power supplied to the light source. A programming key is associated with the programmable controller for programming the programmable controller to control the power supplied to the light source during use. The controller is programmable to control the operating configurations only when the programming key is in communication with the controller.

A soundhead of a treatment device is provided that enables a volume of tissue located beneath the soundhead to simultaneously receive ultrasound and light stimulation. According to one embodiment, the soundhead includes an ultrasound transducer, a light source, and a faceplate extending across a face of the transducer for providing a tissue contacting and ultrasound energy coupling surface of the soundhead. The faceplate is transparent or translucent to the light generated by the light source. Alternate embodiments including externally mounted light sources are also disclosed.

Methods are disclosed for administering electromagnetic radiation (EMR), which may include filtering EMR from part of the EMR spectrum while allowing passage of EMR at a desired wavelength range. Uses may include the treatment of such conditions as psoriasis, vitiligo, pruritus, acne, vitamin-D deficiency and atopic dermatitis. Topical creams, sprays, or other compositions may be used, with or without dosimeters, or in conjunction with an application, which calculates local UV exposure and other factors relating to dosage.

The invention discloses a sun-blocking optical energy fabric. Polyester fiber nylon and elastic yarn are taken as organization material polymers, and a cloth fabric which has excellent elasticity, density degree, light transmission and optical rotation absorption performance and can obtain Joule quantity of ultraviolet rays with highest energy can be woven by a circular knitting machine. The temperature of the cloth fabric is set as 180+/-10 DEG C, so that the organization material polymers can be combined more tightly and integrated to form gray cloth. Oily yarn, dirt and impurities on the surface of the cloth are removed by refining, the cloth is bleached by using an optical bleaching agent which is a non-toxic fluorescent compound, and a right amount of finishing aid is added to a dye vat. The cloth is coated with a single-face pigment fluorescence color paste through a tension-free full-imprint layer and is dried by a tension-free dust-free drying machine, and the color fastness of the cloth is shaped at high temperature by removing formaldehyde. Thus, the sun-blocking optical energy fabric having light transmission, coolness, odor prevention, no toxicity and light absorption and having slight phototherapy beautifying action can be completed. The invention is applicable to various occasions requiring the sun-blocking optical energy fabric.
