Abstract:
In this paper we review the progress made in the area of quantum biology over the past two decades. We then outline the possible consequences of quantum biology on the understanding of human physiology and potential for major advances in the practice of medicine, especially in relation to chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract:
Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma is the most common Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Given its prevalence, there is an interest in studying the treatments available and how these can be improved. The standard treatment is a chemotherapeutic regimen known as R-CHOP. The goal of this paper is to inform of an integrative approach to R-CHOP, implementing high dose intravenous Vitamin C (AA) with glutathione (GSH). In the case presented herein, the patient attained complete remission with a minimal toxicity profile and an excellent performance status. These results present a possible viable approach for patients suffering of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. In this paper, we also briefly review the literature available on the aforementioned treatment.

Abstract:
Health and illness are socially mediated. Therefore, the development, promotion, and maintenance of health are always relationship-based social processes. In times of systemic crises, the prevention of dangers seems to have priority, and the person has to take a back seat to the general interest. However, experiences of success are neglected, experiences that are always subjective and enable an independent path to health. A health system must take this into account.

Abstract:
Transcranial Photobiomodulation (tPBM) monotherapy with a wavelength of 808 nm attenuated Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures in peripubertal rats. Furthermore, tPBM add-on therapy to low-dose Valproic Acid (VPA) yielded synergistic effects on PTZ-induced seizures while offset effects were shown when tPBM add-on therapy was applied to high-dose VPA. With the development of the optimal protocols of the tPBM add-on therapy to antiepileptic drugs such as VPA, synergistic therapeutic effects are expected to present in the prevention and treatments of pediatric epilepsy in the future.

Abstract:
The main point of investigation in this case was the painful suffocating sensation at an atypical site, which has not been reported in the literature and can be considered as a special case of ACS and a direction for further research. ACS is very common in clinical practice and this case is reported as a special case with the aim of providing ideas and references for clinical management.‘

Abstract:
Inflammation is a common feature of disorders affecting various systems in the body, and oxidative stress can lead to an imbalance in the cellular metabolism and impaired regeneration of injured tissue. The therapeutic effect of manual acupuncture and electroacupuncture has long been studied. In this study, we conducted a literature review focusing on oxidative stress and inflammation and the therapeutic effect of acupuncture on pathological pathways. Our results reveal that through a novel light therapy technique, manual acupuncture and electroacupuncture can be combined to provide an alternative method for optimizing their therapeutic effects.

Abstract:
Based on the results of meta-analysis and animal experiments, Shenling Baizhu San had obvious therapeutic effect on diabetic obesity, and its mechanism may be related to influencing the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids and fatty acids, reducing the transformation of glucose and fat, correcting the imbalance of energy metabolism in the body, and promoting the decomposition of adipose tissue by up-regulating autophagy.

Abstract:
First, the perceived risks of very low dose radiation exposures from x-rays in health care must be reconsidered with regard to their effects in humans. Second, a more practical application of data analyses from research is needed than the prevailing current approach. And third, the biomechanical conditions of previously injured spines in patients who present for chiropractic spine care should, when possible, be examined by imaging prior to applying forces from spinal manipulation or adjustments to ensure optimal safety and effectiveness.

Abstract:
There is a fundamental connection between mitochondrial function, bioenergetics and insulin signaling. The dysfunction of mitochondria plays a causative role in metabolic and chronic diseases due to bioenergetic capacity impairment. In turn, insulin resistance is a major pathophysiological basis for type 2 diabetes, other metabolic syndromes and cardiovascular disease. Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia is increasingly recognized as being correlated with accelerated cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as cancers of reproductive and gastrointestinal tissues. The connection between insulin resistance and mitochondrial dysfunction indicates their fundamental involvement in chronic diseases of aging. In this paper we provide an up-to-date review of insulin resistance and its connections to a number of pathologies as well as phases of insulin resistance progression.
