- [Dermatitis solaris in newborn infants following phototherapy with a halogenide radiation unit]. Monatsschrift Kinderheilkunde : Organ der Deutsche, 1986 Feb [Go to PubMed]
- Two cases of dermatitis solaris in newborns after phototherapy with a halide burner gave reason to measure the UV-B radiation emitted by the instrument used. Values between 0.8 microW/cm2 and 1.8 microW/cm2 were found. In small areas under the lamp housing the intensities of the UV-B radiation reached up to 10 microW/cm2. These high intensities are caused by the design of the lamp housing. Especially in connection with aluminium foil used to increase the efficacy of the therapy skin leasons as described may be produced.

- Summary
- Increase effective energy intensity and make the spatial energy distribution becomes more even.
- [Spatial distribution of light intensity with a phototherapy halogen lamp]. Monatsschrift Kinderheilkunde : Organ der Deutsche, 1985 Feb [Go to PubMed]
- The spatial energy distribution under a phototherapy unit fitted with a special halide lamp (ex. Hereaus,"
Photo-Therapie 80"
) is particularly uneven, with a pronounced decrease in energy towards the edges. With a correct positioning of the child in the centre of the luminous cone however, the energy of the effective light is still distinctly higher than that received from a phototherapy unit fitted with 6 blue fluorescent tubes (Philips 20W/52 BAM blue). With the addition of lateral aluminium reflectors, not only is the effective energy intensity increased, but also the spatial energy distribution becomes more even, so that a very exact positioning of the child is no longer required.
