Abstract:
A thermal device for heat exchange between a substance in solid state and a substance in liquid state comprising a housing formed by two heat conducting plates disposed in parallel wherein wire-made grid-like 3-dimensional bracing is disposed between said plates and adapted to provide turbulent flow of said substance in liquid state; wires of said bracing are mechanically connected together and to said plates. A thermal device for heat exchange between a substance in solid state and a substance in gaseous state. A heat pipe container having a working fluid enclosed therein, said container formed by two heat conducting plates disposed in parallel against each other and sealed along their perimeter; said container having a capillary microchannel system for reversible fluid-gas circulation, wherein said capillary microchannel system is formed by wire-made grid-like 3-dimensional bracing disposed between said plates; wires of said bracing are mechanically connected together and to said plates.
Abstract:
An assembly for photomedicine therapy comprising: (a) at least partially transparent body having an internal cavity; the internal cavity provided with input and output pipes configured for circulating a cooling agent via said internal cavity; and (b) at least one electrically energizable light source disposed within said internal cavity such that radiation from said at least one light source propagates to the ambient surroundings.
Abstract:
A method and device for photodynamic therapy for treating cancer. The method includes: providing a photodynamic therapeutic device for treating cancer. The provided device includes a plurality of light emitting diodes that are positionable in proximity of a patient's body and are adapted to provide a light fluence to a lesion area. The method also includes administering an effective dose of a photosensitizer in the lesion area; positioning the device in proximity to the patient's body; and irradiating the patient's body.
