According to him, some people use a quartz lamp to prevent viral infections. But the doctor believes that the effectiveness of this method has not been scientifically proven.
Quartz lamps generate UV radiation that kills fungi, pathogenic microbes and viruses. Previously, in physiotherapy rooms they were used to treat diseases of the nose and throat. However, according to recent research, topical application of UV rays has no effect on the duration of illnesses. In addition, it negatively affects the nasal mucosa. As the doctor noted, when a quartz lamp interacts with oxygen, ozone is formed – a gas that irritates the upper respiratory tract.
The specialist explained that open-type quartz lamps are used to disinfect air and surfaces in medical institutions. They are not suitable for use at home: they cannot be used when people are indoors, and if a person does not know the rules of quartzing and does not follow safety precautions, he or she may experience harm.

Loss of Visual Sensitivity Reveals Early Dementia Risk, Study Finds
Can the Eyes Reveal the Early Signs of Cognitive Decline?
Eyes: The Window to Brain Health
The eyes are often referred to as the windows to our souls, but they may also provide valuable insight into the health of our brains. Recent research suggests that problems with visual sensitivity could be an early indicator of cognitive decline and even predict dementia years before it is diagnosed.
The Study: Unveiling Clues Through Visual Sensitivity
A groundbreaking study conducted in Norfolk, England, followed 8,623 initially healthy individuals over several years. By the end of the study, 537 participants had developed dementia. Analyzing their earlier assessments allowed researchers to identify potential precursors to this neurological disorder.
- Participants were initially asked to take a visual sensitivity test at the onset of the study.
- The test involved pressing a button upon perceiving a forming triangle amidst moving dots on a screen.
- It was observed that those who later developed dementia exhibited significantly slower response times in recognizing these triangles compared to those who remained unaffected by cognitive decline.
This raises an intriguing question: why does impaired visual sensitivity precede memory-related symptoms?
