When we think of artificial ultraviolet light we often think of tanning beds. Most are unaware that tanning beds only contain one part of the ultraviolet spectrum, causing cellular harm. The best way to dose ultraviolet light from artificial sources is to mix in some visible red and near infrared light; that is how the sun does it. Kris Sweeting, creator of EMR Tek, was raised with tanning beds in his bedroom since he was five years old. Diagnosed with vitiligo at 3, he committed his teenage years to solving that issue and succeeded using light therapy. In this interview he talks about the human photoprotective response, why a sunburn is not actually a burn, what melanogenesis means, how seed oils gave him an age spot, why his UV lights use Philips bulbs, the difference between UVA, UVB and UVC wavelengths, what narrowband ultraviolet light means, the benefits of UV beyond vitamin D, his thoughts on vitamin D supplements, and much more.

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we have our annual updates episode, and we'll also learn about a mystery animal called the lava bear! As usual, a reminder that I don't try to update everything we've ever talked about. That would be impossible. I just pick new information that is especially interesting. After our episode about animals and ultraviolet light, I got a great email from Kelsey and Torin with some information I didn't know. I got permission to quote the email, which I think you'll find really interesting too: “You said humans can't see UV light, which is true, however humans can detect UV light via neuropsin (a non-visual photoreceptor in the retina). These detectors allow the body to be signaled that it's time to do things like make sex-steroid hormones, neurotransmitters, etc. (Spending too much time indoors results in non-optimal hormone levels, lowered neurotransmitter production, etc.) “Humans also have melanopsin detectors in the retina and skin. Melanopsin detectors respond to blue light. Artificial light (LEDs, flourescents, etc) after dark entering the eye or shining on the skin is sensed by these proteins as mid-day daylight. This results in an immediate drop in melatonin production when it should be increasing getting closer to bedtime.” And that's why you shouldn't look at your phone at night, which I am super bad about doing. Our first update is related to ultraviolet light. A study published in October of 2023 examined hundreds of mammals to see if any part of their bodies glowed in ultraviolet light, called fluorescence. More than 125 of them did! It was more common in nocturnal animals that lived on land or in trees, and light-colored fur and skin was more likely to fluoresce than darker fur or skin. The white stripes of a mountain zebra, for example, fluoresce while the black stripes don't. The study was only carried out on animals that were already dead, many of them taxidermied. To rule out that the fluorescence had something to do with chemicals used in taxidermy, they also tested specimens that had been flash-frozen after dying, and the results were the same. The study concluded that ultraviolet fluorescence is actually really common in mammals, we just didn't know because we can't see it. The glow is typically faint and may appear pink, green, or blue. Some other animals that fluoresce include bats, cats, flying squirrels, wombats, koalas, Tasmanian devils, polar bears, armadillos, red foxes, and even the dwarf spinner dolphin. In episode 20 we talked about Delcourt's giant gecko, which is only known from a single museum specimen donated in the 19th century. In 1979 a herpetologist named Alain Delcourt, working in the Marseilles Natural History Museum in France, noticed a big taxidermied lizard in storage and wondered what it was. It wasn't labeled and he didn't recognize it, surprising since it was the biggest gecko he'd ever seen—two feet long, or about 60 cm. He sent photos to several reptile experts and they didn't know what it was either. Finally the specimen was examined and in 1986 it was described as a new species.

This was supposed to be the 2023 discoveries episode, but not only have I had a really busy week that's kept me from finishing the research, I'm also coming down with a cold. My voice still sounds okay right now but considering how I feel, it's not going to sound good for long, and I need to finish the March Patreon episode too! I decided to rerun a very old Patreon episode this week to allow me time to finish the March Patreon episode before my voice turns into an unintelligible croak. I did drop in some fresh audio to correct a mistake I made in the original episode and add some new information. This is one of my favorite Patreon episodes and I hope you like it too. It's about animals that can see ultraviolet light. I was going to make this a frog news episode, but I started writing about a tiny frog from Brazil called the pumpkin toadlet and the episode veered off in a very interesting direction. But let's start with that frog. It's called the pumpkin toadlet because it's an orangey-yellow color that is just about the same color as pureed pumpkin. It's poisonous and lives in the forests of Brazil. During mating season, the pumpkin toadlet comes out during the day, walking around making little buzzing noises. Researchers assumed those were mating calls until they started studying how the pumpkin toadlet and its relations process sounds. It turns out that the pumpkin toadlet probably can't even hear its own buzzing noise. But they did discover that the pumpkin toadlet fluoresces brightly under UV light. We've talked about this phenomenon before, back in the Patreon episode about animals that glow. Quite a lot of frogs turn out to fluoresce in ultraviolet light, which is a component of daylight. That explains why the pumpkin toadlet comes out during the day in mating season. It wants to be seen by potential mates. It's actually the frog's bones that fluoresce, but since it has very thin skin without dark pigment cells, the ultraviolet light can light up the bones. I wanted to make sure I gave everyone the correct information about ultraviolet light, so I started researching it…and that led me down this rabbit hole. What animals can see in ultraviolet light? Can any humans see ultraviolet light? What does it look like? Light is made up of waves of varying lengths. The retina at the back of your eyeball contains two types of cells, rods and cones, which are named for their shapes. Rods are for low-light vision and cones are for detail and color vision. Humans have more cones than rods because we're diurnal animals, meaning we're most active during the day. Animals that are mostly nocturnal have more rods than cones, which help them see in low light although they don't see color as well or sometimes at all as a result. Most humans can see any color that's a mixture of red, green, and blue, since we have three types of cone cells that react to wavelengths roughly equivalent to those three colors. Some people have what's called red-green color blindness, which means either the person doesn't have cones that sense the color red or cones that sense the color green. Various shades of green and red look alike for these people. Red-green color blindness is much more common in men than in women, with as many as 8% of men having the condition. A lot of times they don't even know it. When I did my student teaching in a first grade class,

A genre-bending debut with a fiercely political heart, A Haunting in Hialeah Gardens (Dutton, 2023) explores the weight of the devil's bargain, following the lengths one man will go to for the promise of freedom. Hugo Contreras's world in Miami has shrunk. Since his wife died, Hugo's debt from her medical bills has become insurmountable. He shuffles between his efficiency apartment, La Carreta (his favorite place for a cafecito), and a botanica in a strip mall where he works as the resident babaláwo. One day, Hugo's nemesis calls. Alexi Ramirez is a debt collector who has been hounding Hugo for years, and Hugo assumes this call is just more of the same. Except this time Alexi is calling because he needs spiritual help. His house is haunted. Alexi proposes a deal: If Hugo can successfully cleanse his home before Noche Buena, Alexi will forgive Hugo's debt. Hugo reluctantly accepts, but there's one issue: Despite being a babaláwo, he doesn't believe in spirits. Hugo plans to do what he's done with dozens of clients before: use sleight of hand and amateur psychology to convince Alexi the spirits have departed. But when the job turns out to be more than Hugo bargained for, Hugo's old tricks don't work. Memories of his past--his childhood in the Bolivian silver mines and a fraught crossing into the United States as a boy--collide with Alexi's demons in an explosive climax. Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, A Haunting in Hialeah Gardens explores questions of visibility, migration, and what we owe--to ourselves, our families, and our histories. Raul Palma is a second generation Cuban American, born and raised in Miami. His short story collection In This World of Ultraviolet Light won the 2021 Don Belton prize.

A lack of sunshine means your immune system doesn't work as well, and your defence mechanisms suffer similarly. Professor Steve Jones explains the role light plays in our health, and why we need to go outside in search of it.

For the better part of the last century, sunlight, and especially ultraviolet (UV) light, has been demonized and purported as a main instigator in many diseases and cancers. By the end of today's solosode on The Red Light Report, you will be exposed to the truth about UV light and understand the sad irony of those claims. As a kid, we were all told to put on our sunglasses, slather on that sunscreen and if all else fails, cover up with our hats, clothes, scarves, trench coats.... you get the point. It was drilled into us at a young age, that if you were going outside and to be exposed to the sunlight, you had to take precautions so the big bad sun didn't get you.​​Hindsight is 20/20, but how much nutrition via light did we deprive our biology from? How much better off would our health and wellness be today if we hadn't drank the kool-aid and become over-protective against the sun?Bear in mind, I am not saying that we all need to go outside and get sunburns. That is a real negative consequence to excessive UV exposure and can certainly instigate skin cancer. However, we have removed ourselves so far from nature that we have actually caused many of our own problems via mal-illumination. Between blocking UV light into our eyes with fancy sunglasses and UV radiation to our skin via sunscreen and clothing, multitudinous physiological benefits are being swept under the rug -- physiological benefits that have been built over ions by way of evolution. This solosode is largely thanks to Dr. Jacob Liberman and his book published in 1991, Light: The Medicine of the Future. The information in that books is as relevant and profound today as it was 30 years ago. I will cover one particular chapter from that book — UV or Not UV: That is the Question.Learn lots, light up your health and enjoy! - In this solosode, Dr. Mike Belkowski discusses the following: Quiz questions and answers about red light therapy An excerpt from Light: Medicine of the future by Jacob Liberman Misconceptions of UV light Radiation Sun bathing and UV therapy had become known as one of the most effective treatments for many infectious diseases Questioning the status quo Benefits of UV light Negative effects of the lack of UV light Recommendations for life changes and how you treat light  - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit www.biolight.shop - Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram YouTube Facebook

All they need is some Doublemint Gum: Two (dead, stuffed) wombats glowing under ultraviolet light: Show Transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I’m your host, Kate Shaw. This week we’re going to look at two super-cute animals from Australia, both of them suggestions by Phoebe. Thank you, Phoebe! Let’s start with the quokka. It’s a marsupial, which as you may recall means that it’s a mammal that gives birth to babies that aren’t fully formed yet, and the babies then finish developing in the mother’s pouch. It’s related to kangaroos and wallabies but is quite small, around the size of an ordinary domestic cat. It’s kind of a chonk, though, which means it’s probably closer in size to my big chonk cat Dracula. It’s shaped roughly like a little wallaby or kangaroo but with a smaller tail and with rounded ears, and it’s grey-brown in color. You may have seen pictures of the quokka online, because the reason it’s considered so incredibly cute is because it looks like it’s smiling all the time. If you take a picture of a quokka’s face, it looks like it has a happy smile and that, of course, makes the people who look at it happy too. Those are real pictures, by the way. Because of the way its muzzle and mouth are shaped, the quokka really does look like it’s smiling. This has caused some problems, unfortunately. People who want to take selfies with a quokka sometimes forget that they’re wild animals. While quokkas aren’t very aggressive and are curious animals who aren’t usually afraid of people, they can and will bite when frightened. The Nature Conservancy of Australia recommends that people who want to take a selfie with a quokka arrive early in the morning or late in the evening, since quokkas are mostly nocturnal, and that they let the quokkas approach them instead of following one around. Touching a quokka or giving it food or drink is strictly prohibited, since it’s a protected animal. The quokka lives on a few small islands off the coast of western Australia and a few small forested areas on the mainland. The largest population lives on Rottnest Island, and in fact the island was named by a Dutch explorer who thought the quokkas were rats. It means rat’s nest. The island’s actual name was Wadjemup and it was a ceremonial area for the local Whadjuk Noongar people. Only an estimated 14,000 quokkas live in the wild today, with most of those on Rottnest Island. It used to be much more widespread, but once white settlers arrived and introduced predators like dogs, cats, and foxes, its numbers started to decline. It’s also threatened by habitat loss. It reproduces slowly, since a female only raises one baby a year. A baby quokka is born after only a month, but like other marsupial babies, called joeys, it’s just a little pink squidge when it’s born. It climbs into its mother’s pouch where it stays for the next six months. Once it’s old enough to leave her pouch, it still depends on her milk for a few more months. While she’s raising one baby, though, the mother has other babies still in her womb ready to be born but held in suspended animation.

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) cellular scale imaging techniques that improve our understanding of the brain architecture is crucial for structural and functional integration and analysis of normal and pathological conditions in the brain. We have developed a wide-field fluorescent microscope using deep ultra violet (DUV) light emitting diode as the illumination source. This microscope employs oblique illumination of deep UV light and the optical sectioning is obtained on the tissue surface over a few micron thickness; largely attributed to the large absorption and hence low tissue penetration of the DUV light. Fluorescence emissions in the visible range that are spectrally separates allows for multiple channel of fluorophore detection using single or a combination of dyes. The fluorescence signal is captured using water immersion objectives and a color camera. Arduino Mega 2560 controlled 3-axis motorized microscope stage is developed for obtaining the wide-field imaging. To enable 3D imaging, the microscope setup is integrated with vibrating microtome that can slice thin sections for serial block-face imaging. In this paper, we show the versatility of the DUV microscope as a microscopy tool for use in neuroscience labs for a range of 2D brain imaging applications. We also present its applicability for 3D imaging of rodent brain in combination with whole brain staining protocol. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

Donald Trump got a lot of stick when he talked about using disinfectant and light to kill off COVID-19 - seemingly implying people should drink bleach or shine a torch down their throats. Now a team at Columbia University has indeed discovered a narrow wavelength within UV light that they call 'far-UVC', that as well as killing viruses on surfaces, is also safe for humans because it can't get through our skin.

Last week we talked about the pros of cons of the different types of pool construction. After you decide what type of pool structure you want, you’ll have to decide want type of sanitization system you’ll use to keep your pool free of bacteria, viruses, and algae. The most common systems are chlorine, saltwater, and ultraviolet light. We’ll briefly go over each system and discuss the advantages of each. Cost, maintenance, and health concerns are the main reasons to choose one sanitization system over another. When making your decision, be realistic about your budget and your sensitivity to chlorine and your willingness to perform or pay for maintenance. Show notes at BYHYU.com

Prof Nick Hayward talks to ecancertv at WCCS 2016 about the effect of ultraviolet light on underlying genes behind at-risk phenotypes. He describes how the concomitant risk of melanoma from UV exposure, especially from sunbed use, can be modulated by the genes responsible for phenotypes associated with increased susceptibility. Prof Hayward also highlights the genes responsible for telomere maintenance as a further influence on disease risk.

The holidays and the New Year can be stressful. Travel, snowstorms, lack of sunshine, and other issues can raise our blood pressure. One cure? The Blu Room, a new form of relaxation therapy.Created in the pine forests in Washington State, it's a new technology that protects users from the outside world and wraps them in soft ultraviolet light. The sessions last 20 minutes and consist of UV-B light, music and meditation in a relaxing environment. It’s not a tanning device. Participants wear regular clothing. The Blu Room provides only UVB Narrowband fluorescent light, along with visible blue LED light. Users have reported benefits such as:• Improved health• Increased creativity• Faster healing process• Greater self-awareness• Pain relief• Relief from stress and anxietyWhen the brain isn't responding the outside environment, the mind is free to relax, free associate, or hold a relaxed state of focus. Many customers are using the Blu Room to explore their deeper creative being.There are many studies on the benefits of a short nap, which provides significant improved alertness and performance.The Blu Room, which looks like a futuristic octagon with mirrors, blue light, and a massage table in the middle, was invented by well-known author and spiritual leader JZ Knight. Ramtha the Enlightened One has been channeling through JZ Knight since 1977. In the early 1990s, Ramtha taught about the healing power of the fourth level which he describes as Bridge Consciousness and Ultraviolet Blue Energy. He has described the Blu Room as an odyssey that can take you to the fourth level for a while.The Blu Room experience varies from person to person. It bumps you into a different part of your brain and opens a door for a new mind perspective. Many users have described it as being deeply relaxing, lifting their mood, and bringing about a state of slightly detached calm or peace. A common side benefit of this state is a relief from aches and pains. Some experience dynamic shifts in perspective and spiritual insights. Others have reported profound personal healing. Since the mind is the greatest healer and the mind is inextricably intertwined with DNA, the Blu Room can augment a person's natural healing abilities.In addition to a vitamin D boost, it is theorized that the Blu Room also triggers the brain to release endorphins. Among other effects, the secretion of endorphins induces a sense of euphoria and enhances the immune response. With higher endorphin levels, one feels less pain and is less affected by stress.For customers interested in optimizing personal goals, a weekly session is recommended, others enjoy twice or three times per week.air date 12/16/16

With higher endorphin levels, one feels less pain and is less affected by stress.For customers interested in optimizing personal goals, a weekly session is recommended, others enjoy twice or three times per week.air date 12/16/16

Sam Lee and Pat Ongusaha discuss their research on the mechanisms by which ultraviolet B radiation induces cell death.

Cells of synchonized and of asynchronously growing cultures of a V79 Chinese hamster line were microirradiated with a low poweer laser-UV-microbeam of wavelength 257 nm. Ultraviolet light was either focused onto a small part of the nucleus (mode I) or distributed over the whole nucleus (mode II). Following microirradiation, the cells were incubated for 7–20 h with caffeine (1–2 mM) until chromosome preparation was performed. After both modes of microirradation, shattering of the entire chromosome complement (generalized chromosome shattering, GCS) was observed. It is suggested that the probability by which GCS is induced depends on the total number lesions rather than on their distribution in the chromatin. The results are consistent with the prediction of a “factor depletion model” wich assumes that in a given cell, GCS takes place both in irradiated and non-irradiated chromosomes of the total number of daughter strand-repair sites supasses a threshold value.

Asynchrononously growing cells of a M3-1 Chinese hamster line were ultraviolet (UV) irradiated ( = 254 nm) with UV fluences up to 7.5 J/m2. After irradiation, cells were incubated with or without 2 mM caffeine for 20 hr, then mitotic cells were selected by mechanical shaking. Their chromosomes were isolated, stained with Hoechst 33258 and chromomycin A3, and measured flow cytometrically. While the fluorescence distributions of chromosomes (flow karyotypes) from cells treated with UV alone or with caffeine alone were very similar to those of untreated controls, the flow karyo-types of UV + caffeine-treated cells showed a debris continuum that increased with increasing UV fluence suggesting an increased number of chromosome fragments. Visual evaluation of metaphase plates revealed that the percentage of cells with chromosome damage also increased steadily with increasing UV fluence. A high degree of correlation was observed between the relative magnitude of the debris level from flow karyotypes and the percentage of cells with chromosome damage and with generalized chromosome shattering, respectively, as determined from metaphase spreads.

Synchronized and asynchronously growing cells of a V79 sub-line of the Chinese hamster were either partial-cell irradiation (λ, 254 nm) or laser-UV-microirradiated (λ, 257 nm). Post-incubation with caffeine (1–2 mM) often resulted in chromosome shattering, which was a rare event in the absence of this compound. In experiments with caffeine, the following results were obtained. Shattering of all the chromosomes of a cell (generalized chromosome shattering, GCS) was induced by partial-cell irradiation at the first post-irradiation mitosis when the UV fluence exceeded and “threshold” valued in the sensitive phases of the cell cycle (G1 and S). GCS was also induced by laser-UV-microirradiation of a small part of the nucleus in G1 of S whereas microirradiation of cytoplasm beside the nucleus was not effective. An upper limit of the UV fluence in the non-irradiated nuclear part due to scattering of the microbeam was experimentally obtained. This UV fluence was significantly below the threshold fluence necessary to induce GCS in whole-cell irradiation experiments. In other cells, partial nuclear irradiation resulted in shattering of a few chromosomes only, while the majority remained intact (partial chromosomes shattering, PCS). G1/early S was the most sensitive phase for induction of GCS by whole-cell and partial nuclear irradiation. The frequency of PCS was observed to increase when partial nuclear irradiation was performed either at lower incident doses or at later stages of S. We suggest that PCS and GCS indicate 2 levels of chromosome damage which can be produced by the synergistic action of UV irradiation and caffeine. PCS may be restricted to microirradiated chromatin whereas GCS involves both irradiated and unirradiated chromosomes in the microirradiated nucleus.
