Highlights ■ First case series of aPDT+PBM for oral P. aeruginosa in oncology patients. ■ Complete lesion resolution in all cases (median healing time: 5 days). ■ High resistance to fluoroquinolones; aminoglycosides remained effective. ■ Combined light-based therapy is safe even in severe immunosuppression. ABSTRACT Objective: To describe a case series of oral Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in oncology patients managed using combined antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and photobiomodulation in association with systemic antibiotic therapy guided by microbiological culture and antibiogram. Methods: […]

Highlights ■ Rheumatoid arthritis increases the popliteal lymph node area in rats. ■ Resistance exercise and photobiomodulation modulate  immune cell populations. ■ Both therapies reduce plasma cells and inflammatory cell infiltration. ■ Combined therapy shows no additional benefits over  isolated treatments. ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of resistance exercise associated with photobiomodulation on the popliteal lymph nodes of Wistar rats subjected to an acute-phase experimental model of rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: The study consisted of 64 male […]
