Bee Talk & Eco-poetry Workshop
with
Dr. Olivia Carril and Elizabeth Jacobson

Saturday, September 23, 2023
1:00pm - 2:30pm

Bee Hotel at Santa Fe River
East Alameda and Camino Escondido, Santa Fe, NM 87501

New Mexico is home to over 1000 bee species, ranging from carpenter bees the size of a thumb, to fairy bees the size of an eyelash. All are important pollinators of our diverse native plants, and provide the foundation for healthy and resilient ecosystems. Please join Olivia and Elizabeth by the Santa Fe River for a FREE bee talk and brief exploration of Eco-poetry.

When I first started vaping I came across a company called Vriptech. They put out a whitepaper to describe their approach, called Superior Vaporization Technique from 2003. I couldn't find it online, so will link it here ( https://archive.org/details/SVTaroma )

Hey ABQ, whassup wit YOU? Greetings from @SantaFe@kbin.social

I noticed that when I searched Albuquerque I found you, but not when I searched New Mexico. When I searched New Mexico I found New Mexico United (@NewMexicoUnited ), our glorious soccer team, and Santa Fe (@SantaFe ). I think if you add Albuquerque, New Mexico to your magazine title it may make you more findable. And I...

Evaluation of green light exposure on headache frequency and quality of life in migraine patients: A preliminary one-way cross-over clinical trial
DOI: 10.1177/0333102420956711

Abstract
Background: Pharmacological management of migraine can be ineffective for some patients. We previously demonstrated that exposure to green light resulted in antinociception and reversal of thermal and mechanical hypersensitivity in rodent pain models. Given the safety of green light emitting diodes, we evaluated green light as a potential therapy in patients with episodic or chronic migraine.

Material and methods: We recruited (29 total) patients, of whom seven had episodic migraine and 22 had chronic migraine. We used a one-way cross-over design consisting of exposure for 1–2 hours daily to white light emitting diodes for 10 weeks, followed by a 2-week washout period followed by exposure for 1–2 hours daily to green light emitting diodes for 10 weeks. Patients were allowed to continue current therapies and to initiate new treatments as directed by their physicians. Outcomes consisted of patient-reported surveys. The primary outcome measure was the number of headache days per month. Secondary outcome measures included patient-reported changes in the intensity and fre- quency of the headaches over a two-week period and other quality of life measures including ability to fall and stay asleep, and ability to perform work. Changes in pain medications were obtained to assess potential reduction.

Results: When seven episodic migraine and 22 chronic migraine patients were analyzed as separate cohorts, white light emitting diodes produced no significant change in headache days in either episodic migraine or chronic migraine patients. Combining data from the episodic migraine and chronic migraine groups showed that white light emitting diodes produced a small, but statistically significant reduction in headache days from (daysSEM) 18.21.8 to 16.52.01 days. Green light emitting diodes resulted in a significant decrease in headache days from 7.9  1.6 to 2.4  1.1 and from 22.31.2 to 9.41.6 in episodic migraine and chronic migraine patients, respectively. While some improvement in secondary outcomes was observed with white light emitting diodes, more secondary outcomes with significantly greater magnitude including assessments of quality of life, Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire, Headache Impact Test-6, and Five-level version of the EuroQol five-dimensional survey without reported side effects were observed with green light emitting diodes. Conclusions regarding pain medications reduction with green light emitting diode exposure were not possible. No side effects of light therapy were reported. None of the patients in the study reported initiation of new therapies.

Discussion: Green light emitting diodes significantly reduced the number of headache days in people with episodic migraine or chronic migraine. Additionally, green light emitting diodes significantly improved multiple secondary out- come measures including quality of life and intensity and duration of the headache attacks. As no adverse events were reported, green light emitting diodes may provide a treatment option for those patients who prefer non- pharmacological therapies or may be considered in complementing other treatment strategies. Limitations of this study are the small number of patients evaluated. The positive data obtained support implementation of larger clinical trials to determine possible effects of green light emitting diode therapy.
This study is registered with clinicaltrials.gov under NCT03677206.

Exact Action Spectra for Cellular Responses Relevant to Phototherapy - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16144476/

Objective: The aim of the present work is to analyze available action spectra for various biological responses of HeLa cells irradiated with monochromatic light of 580–860 nm. Background data: Phototherapy (low-level laser therapy or photobiomodulation) is characterized by its ability to induce photobiological processes in cells. Exact action spectra are needed for determination of photoacceptors as well as for further investigations into cellular mechanisms of phototherapy. Methods: Seven action spectra for the stimulation of DNA and RNA synthesis rate and cell adhesion to glass matrix are analyzed by curve fitting, followed by deconvolusion with Lorentzian fitting. Exact parameters of peak positions and bandwidths are presented. Results: The peak positions are between 613.5 and 623.5 nm (in one spectrum, at 606 nm), in the red maximum. The far-red maximum has exact peak positions between 667.5 and 683.7 nm in different spectra. Two near infrared max- ima have peak positions in the range 750.7–772.3 nm and 812.5–846.0 nm, respectively. Conclusions: In the wavelength range important for phototherapy (600–860 nm), there are four “active” regions, but peak positions are not exactly the same for all spectra.

From Results and Discusstion:
"In the wavelength range used in our experiments and impor- tant for phototherapy (600–860 nm), there are four “active” re- gions, but the peak positions are not exactly the same for all action spectra. The red band has peak position at 613.5–623.5 nm (in one spectrum, at 606 nm); the far-red band has peak po- sition at 667.5–683.7 nm, and two near IR bands in the range of 750.7–772.3 nm and 812.5–846.0 nm. The nature of the cy- tochrome c oxidase intermediates, whose absorption spectrum is mirrored in these action spectra, remains to be investigated."

Note: Pg. 357 Shows the light frequencies, in the range from 580–860 nm, that cause a response in cellular physiology. Two peaks are seen in Red, and Far Red. And Two peaks are seen in NIR.
