Why Acupuncture Is Going Mainstream in Medicine
When the opioid addiction crisis began to surge in the U.S. about a decade ago, Dr. Medhat Mikhael spent a lot of time talking to his patients about other ways to heal pain besides opioids, from other types of medications to alternative treatments.
As a pain management specialist at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, Calif., he didn’t anticipate leaving behind the short-term use of opioids altogether, since they work so well for post-surgical pain. But he wanted to recommend a remedy that was safer and still effective.
That turned out to be acupuncture.
“Like any treatment, acupuncture...

Steve Tisch donates $10M to UCLA program devoted to researching, treating sports concussions, especially in youth
Philanthropist Steve Tisch, co-owner of the New York Giants and an Academy Award–winning film producer, has pledged $10 million to the department of neurosurgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA for the BrainSPORT Program, which has been renamed the UCLA Steve Tisch BrainSPORT Program.
Due to be announced by President Obama Thursday at a White House summit on youth and sports concussions, the new funding — the single largest gift from an individual to a medical center for a concussion-related initiative — will enable UCLA to create the first U.S. fellowship program to train pediatric neurologists who...

Resistance Training Does not have an Effect on Cognition or Related Serum Biomarkers in Nonagenarians: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Int J Sports MedDOI: 10.1055/s-0034-1375693The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to determine the effects of 8-week exercise-intervention on cognition and related serum biochemical markers in nonagenarians. We also studied the effects of a 4-week training cessation (‘detraining’) period on our study variables. Participants were randomly allocated to a standard-care (control) or intervention (exercise) group [n=20 (16 women)/group]. The intervention focused on supervised, light-to-moderate-intensity aerobic and resistance exercises (mainly leg press), and included 3 weekly sessions. Cognitive status was determ...

Exercise-induced Natural Killer Cell Activation is Driven by Epigenetic Modifications
Int J Sports MedDOI: 10.1055/s-0034-1398531Exercise has been proven to reduce the risk and progression of various diseases, such as cancer, diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders. Increasing evidence suggests that exercise affects the cytokine profile and changes distribution and function of tumor-competitive immune cells. Initial studies have shown that different exercise interventions are associated with epigenetic modifications in different tissues and cell types, such as muscle, fat, brain and blood. The present investigation examines the effect of an intense endurance run (half marathon) on global epigenetic modific...

Stop hunting for zebras in Texas: end the diagnostic culture of "rule-out": We need to make the most of clinical context rather than order every investigation, writes Saurabh Jha
"The patient's skull was struck by a baseball bat. He has a perfectly legitimate reason for subarachnoid hemorrhage. He already had a CT [computed tomogram] of the head showing the bleed in good detail. Why another?" I remonstrated with Watson, the neurosurgeon. "But you don't know that there is no intracranial aneurysm. You can't rule that out. He needs a CT angiogram of the brain immediately," protested Watson. Hit by a hard object (cause) and blood in brain (effect) is deductive reasoning at its simplest. But Watson was correct: I could not rule out cerebral artery aneurysm without a CT angiogram. I could not, for that ...

Guest Editorial: Veterinary Nuclear Medicine
Veterinary Nuclear Medicine has undergone evolutionary changes for the past 50 years. Although a few studies were reported before the 1970s, for practical purposes, the use of nuclear medicine techniques in veterinary medicine began in the 1970s in the United States and Europe. Drs Donald Thrall and Edward Gillette, Colorado State University, published one of the first nuclear medicine imaging articles in Veterinary Radiology in 1971 proving that lung scintigraphy using a rectilinear scanner could detect occlusive pulmonary vascular lesions in the dog. Professor Gottlieb Ueltschi, University of Bern, in 1975 showed the pot...

Medical History in the Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
Authors: Otte A, Ahn BC
Abstract
The Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary end of 2017. On board of the editorial team since 2003, this journal has influenced me like a good friend over the many past years. From time to time, the journal has published interesting and valuable historical notes. They show that nuclear medicine has a history and that medicine is its basis. They also teach us today, and some of the ancient perspectives and approaches are still valid. The reader of HJNM may be interested in these historical contributions, as they are timeless. Therefore, it was ...

Abass Alavi: A giant in Nuclear Medicine turns 80 and is still going strong!
Authors:
Abstract
Little was written in the stars above the city of Tabriz in Iran on March 15, 1938 indicating that a newborn citizen would immigrate to America and become a master of modern mo-lecular imaging with a sharp focus on 18F-FDG PET to the benefit of millions of people around the world. Nonetheless, that's what happened. A gifted boy who lost his farther early and grew up with his uneducated mother and two siblings in humble circumstances to become a premium student, nationally no. 1 in mathematics while in school, and later a medical doctor before he decided in 1966 to seek his fortune in the US. Here...

Effect of two Chinese medicinal compounds, blood-activating and water-draining medicine, on tumor necrosis factor α and nuclear factor κ B expressions in rats with intracerebral hemorrhage
Conclusions
Blood-activating Chinese medicinal compounds and water-draining Chinese medicinal compounds can alleviate inflammation of peripheral tissue and cerebral edema. However, the blood-activating Chinese medicinal compounds were more effective than the water-draining Chinese medicinal compounds. The possible effective mechanism may be by means of inhibiting the activation of NF-κ B so as to suppress the transcription of target genes including gene expression of TNF-α.

In precision medicine, pioneering young patient teaches veteran doctor
Allison Schablein seems an unlikely candidate to teach medicine to Mark Kieran. She’s an 8-year-old New Hampshire second grader who loves basketball, hip hop, acrobatic dancing and jewelry. He’s a pediatric neuro-oncologist with a PhD in molecular biology, not to mention decades of clinical and research experience. But teach Kieran, Allison does.
In December 2012, Allison was diagnosed with metastatic anaplastic astrocytoma brain tumors — two on her brain stem, two on her spine, and three at the top of her head. She had surgery and chemotherapy — and for two months her tumors responded to therapy. Then treatment st...

Evolution from Medical Imaging to Visualized Medicine
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2023;1199:1-13. doi: 10.1007/978-981-32-9902-3_1.ABSTRACTThe discovery of X-ray in 1895 and the first X-ray image of Mrs. Röntgen's hand opened up a new era of radiology and the research of medical imaging. The evolution of traditional medical imaging has been lasting for over 100 years, serving the detection, diagnosis, and treatments of human diseases with a clear view of the anatomy information. In late 1990s, the concept of molecular imaging was proposed as the science and technology of molecular biology and bio-engineering rapidly developed, and it directly gave birth to the emergence of precision m...
