phototherapeutically

The finest specimens of optical glass have been tried, but when examined spectroscopically they not only showed an enormous absorption in all regions except the yellow, but also evinced phototherapeutically an unmistakable inefficiency, even with the employment of the largest arcs of as high a capacity as 100 ampères.

1902 September 20, Milton Franklin, “Phototherapeutic apparatus”, in The Medical News, volume 81, page 539:

It is possible to treat with these the mucosa of the urethra, of the mouth, throat, nose, and most probably of the urinary bladder and the larynx phototherapeutically.

1908, Ernst Kromayer, “Further experience with the white and blue light of the quartz lamp”, in Journal of Cutaneous Diseases Including Syphilis, volume 26, page 261:

At higher irradiancies however these positions are reversed; that is, the relative amount of phototherapeutically eliminated bilirubin is greater.

There have now been other colleges which have taken up comparable and analogous programs, all with, in my opinion, very beneficial results — beneficial upon requiring teachers to teach interdisciplinarily, interdepartmentally, to confer more fully on how they were teaching and what the results were, and very provocative and heartening for the students in arousing and broadening their vision of what higher education ought for them to be about and to yield.

1950, Proceedings - Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools Annual Convention, volumes 64-69, Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, page 84:

Social work, although—and perhaps because—it is an interdisciplinarily instructed and interprofesionally dependent profession, has a better chance than most other professions to test knowledge in practice.
