摘要:
The present invention is a method for producing an insulin-secreting pre-adipocyte stem cell and the cells derived therefrom. The preferred method comprises obtaining fat cells from a human; treating the fat cells with low-level laser energy; culturing the treated fat cells and suspending them in media together with an insulin gene plasmid; and subjecting the fat cells to transfection. The transfection is facilitated with the application of low-level laser energy.
摘要:
A noninvasive method of reducing fat from targeted regions of a patient's body by applying low-level laser energy externally through the skin of the patient to the targeted areas. Sufficient laser energy is applied to release at least a portion of intracellular fat into the interstitial space. The released intracellular fat is removed from the body through the body's natural functions. The preferred embodiment uses laser energy at about 635 nm.
摘要:
A stand-alone laser device that provides low level laser therapy using one or more laser sources. The laser sources are attached to one or more arms which can be positioned to cause the laser light to impinge on a desired area of a patient's body. A scanning apparatus is attached to the arms which comprise structures that cooperate to cause an optical element to be able to simultaneously rotate about a central axis and move in a linear motion along that axis to achieve any desired scan pattern. Laser light of different pulse widths, different beam shapes and different scan patterns can be applied externally to a patient's body. In the preferred embodiment, red light having a wavelength of about 635 nm is used to stimulate hair growth on a patient's scalp

The present invention is a method for promoting faster wound healing and alleviating pain during and after various dermatology-related treatments. The method comprises using low level laser therapy in conjunction with dermatological treatments including intense pulsed light, radio frequency, dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, chemabrasion, chemical peels, ablative lasers, and cryogenics.
摘要:
A method for treating a patient with laser energy to improve hearing loss. The method involves applying laser energy to the patient's spine, preferably by sweeping a linear laser beam over the patient's skin. The method may alternatively include applying laser energy to the patient's jaw, skull, ears, or a combination thereof. The laser device used for treating the patient is preferably a hand-held probe that moves freely relative to the patient's skin and can generate more than one wavelength of laser energy. In the preferred treatment, the patient is treated with a hand-held probe that emits two laser beams, one laser beam producing a pulsed line of red laser light and the other producing a pulsed line of green laser light. In the preferred embodiment, the patient's upper back, cervical vertebrae, cranial nerves, and temporomandibular joints are treated with laser energy for a total of less than 20 minutes in a single treatment.
摘要:
An improved hand-held laser device that automatically changes the pulse frequency while the laser beam is being generated. The device comprises one or more laser energy sources and a frequency controller to change the pulse frequency of the emitted laser light. In certain embodiments, the frequency change is predictable and can be defined by a formula. In other embodiments, the frequency change is unpredictable and is determined using a pseudo-random number generator algorithm.
摘要:
This invention is a scanning laser device with a universal carriage that holds any type of optical element. The carriage rotates about an axis that is substantially co-axial to the incident laser beam, thereby causing the laser energy passing through the optical element to sweep through a 360° circle. The preferred embodiment uses a rod lens as the optical element, resulting in a large circular beam spot. The device may utilize laser sources of various wavelengths and pulse frequencies, and multiple devices may be combined to scan an even larger area.

A force-transmitting head for a chiropractic adjustor apparatus includes a hub which is rotatable in a cavity formed in the head and non-rotatably attached to a reciprocating shaft of the apparatus. A rotation pin extends through the body into the cavity and engages a track formed in the hub. Reciprocating movement of the shaft and hub causes a rotational movement of the body with passage of the rotation pin along the track. Also, a chiropractic adjustor apparatus incorporating the force-transmitting head.
摘要:
A device for iontophoresis. A first battery-powered array is submerged into a liquid contained in a first reservoir and a second battery-powered array is submerged into a liquid contained in a second reservoir. Each array has one or more degradable electrodes that releases ions into the liquid in the reservoir. The electrodes can be copper, zinc, steel, nickel, or a combination thereof. At the first array one of the electrodes can be positively charged while at the second array one of the electrodes can be negatively charged. Alternatively, an electrode at the second array can be positively charged while an electrode at the first array is negatively charged. The solution in the reservoir may also contain positively or negatively charged ions. Powering the arrays causes the charged molecules contained in the liquid to transport through a patient's skin. The device uses a current and voltage regulator to deliver a regulated amount of current through the arrays regardless of the conductivity of the liquid, and electronic circuitry is used to control the duration, polarity, electrode choice, and intensity of the treatment. Excessive heat is dissipated with a heat sink.
