Photodynamic therapy in the treatment of onychomycosis – a review [PDF]
Przegląd Dermatologiczny, 2017 Toenail onychomycosis is a common infection, affecting up to 14% of the population. Moreover, poor penetration of topical drugs into the nail bed leads to frequent recurrences of the disease. The cure rate of toenail onychomycosis is estimated at 63–76%.

Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 1999 Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of malignant tumours is a new technique for treating cancers. After intravenous injection, a photosensitiser is selectively retained by the tumour cells so after time there is more sensitiser in the tumour than in the normal adjacent tissue. The photosensitiser must be able to absorb the wavelength of light being delivered to

JNCI Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 1998 Photodynamic therapy involves administration of a tumor-localizing photosensitizing agent, which may require metabolic synthesis (i.e., a prodrug), followed by activation of the agent by light of a specific wavelength. This therapy results in a sequence of photochemical and photobiologic processes that cause irreversible photodamage to tumor tissues ...

Biophysical aspects of photodynamic therapy [PDF]
, 2012 Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a multimodality cancer treatment available for the palliation or eradication of systemic and cutaneous malignancies. In this thesis, the application of PDT is for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC).

Microscopic study of cultural and diffusion kinetics of the effects of a prototype extracellular matrix on the photodynamic therapy of periopathogenic bacteria – a pilot study [PDF]
Folia Medica, 2023 Introduction: In dental medicine, photodynamic therapy is a promising treatment for bacterial infections. Oral biofilms, on the other hand, can produce an extracellular matrix that provides protection and stability against external forces.

Photodynamic therapy using systemic administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid and a 410-nm wavelength light-emitting diode for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-infected ulcers in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has become a worldwide problem. One potential alternative for bacterial control is photodynamic therapy. 5-aminolevulinic acid is a natural precursor of the photosensitizer protoporphyrin IX. Relatively little is known
