False-Positive FDG Positron Emission TomographyUptake in Nonmalignant Chest Abnormalities
Positron emission tomography (PET) with FDG monitors the enhanced glycolytic activity and increased expression of glucose transporters associated with tumor cells. FDG accumulates in tumors via the same transporters used by glucose. Similarly, once in the cell, the radiotracer is phosphorylated to FDG-6PO4. At this point the handling of FDG differs from glucose. Because of […]
Scientific Research Publishing - An Examination of the Combined Effects of Multi-Modality Therapy on Cognitive Rehabilitation in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients
This study investigates the combined effects of multi-modality therapy, including mild hyperbaric therapy (mHBT), photobiomodulation (PBM), and molecular hydrogen therapy (MH), on cognitive rehabilitation in individuals with mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). A total of 15 participants (7 males, 8 females, ages ranging from 20 to 78 years) diagnosed with mild-to-moderate TBI underwent 10 sessions […]
Scientific Research Publishing - Multimodal Therapeutic Approach for Post-Concussive Symptoms and Cognitive Recovery: A Case Report
This case highlights the potential of a non-invasive, multimodal therapeutic approach to address persistent post-concussion symptoms, an area with limited effective interventions. Findings suggest that integrating these therapies into standard rehabilitation protocols may enhance recovery trajectories, particularly for patients with persistent cognitive symptoms. This case report explores the clinical course, treatment efficacy, and the potential […]
Journal of Complementary Medicine - HBOT, Photobiomodulation, and Molecular Hydrogen
This case study examines the therapeutic efficacy of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBM), and Molecular Hydrogen Therapy (H2) in a 26-year-old retired soccer athlete with a history of six untreated concussions. The patient presented with cognitive impairments, emotional instability, and physical symptoms. The uniqueness of this case lies in the use of an […]
Journal of Complementary Medicine - Tart Cherry Powder and Magnesium L-Threonate
leep quality and cognitive function are critical to overall health and daily productivity. Sleep disturbances and cognitive decline are interconnected, creating a cycle that exacerbates both issues. Tart cherry (Prunus cerasus) and magnesium L-threonate have been independently studied for their positive effects on sleep and cognitive health. Tart cherry is known to enhance sleep through […]
Scientific Research Publishing - Mild-Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
This case report examines the impact of mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) on cognitive function and symptom relief in a 35-year-old male presenting with concussive symptoms (CS) following a motor vehicle accident (MVA). The patient underwent 10 mHBOT sessions over five weeks (40 minutes per session at 1.5 ATA with 32% oxygen). Post-treatment assessments revealed […]
