Warranty
When purchasing LED lamps, it’s essential to remember the warranty. A strong warranty protects consumers against unexpected repair expenses while poor warranties could lead to high electricity bills due to inadequate voltage or an over-powered bulb that exceeds its maximum wattage limit, leading to less efficient lighting solutions and costing them money in repairs and lost productivity. A good warranty provides peace of mind.
Speech language pathologists working with individuals affected by cleft lip and palate and resonance disorders must be cognizant of how these conditions may alter voice quality, working closely with otolaryngologists and craniofacial teams in order to maximize speech outcomes.
Ideal therapy should seek to establish a balanced ratio between oral and nasal sound energy for each intended speech sound, and this article will present various solutions that may help achieve that aim.
Oral Resonance Therapy (ORT)
SLP (speech-language pathology) services such as screening, assessment, diagnosis and treatment to individuals of all ages suffering from resonance disorders are provided by us. Clients and their families are educated regarding the nature and management of their disorder as we collaborate with physicians and cleft craniofacial teams in identifying causes and providing access to comprehensive services.
Assessing oral, nasal and velopharyngeal (VP) function to produce speech sounds including vowels, voiced oral consonants and palatal consonants; assessing the impact of cleft palate with or without palatal obturator on VP function; and uvulopalatopalatopharyngeal deviance on closure and articulation performance as well as developing plans of treatment or making referrals to ensure access to appropriate medical or surgical intervention are performed successfully.
Resonant Voice Therapy seeks to improve phonation by increasing oral vibratory sensations felt on lips and teeth or higher in the face (mask). Ideally, it should be easy for users to implement. Hypernasality and cul-de-sac resonance often co-exist within an individual with velopharyngeal dysfunction; occasionally these issues may surface separately during connected speech (e.g. during apraxia).
Resonant voice production occurs when sound energy passes from vocal tract to filter and into the velar articulator for enhancement of harmonics based on size and shape of supralaryngeal structures, larynx, nasal cavities and oral cavities. Resonance also is affected by how high or low velum rises during articulation/release action thus altering quality of sounded.
The velum lies directly above the vocal folds and immediately below the pharyngeal sphincter. During normal voicing, its movements help achieve accurate articulation of nasal and non-nasal sounds; its “resonance” with air in the upper respiratory system allows it to resonate during speaking.
An SLP might utilize the resonance questionnaire technique to decrease an excessively high velum. This involves rating several sounds with a specially created scale in order to identify their characteristics – loudness, clarity and pitch in particular – so they can teach their client how to control and intensify articulation for increased sound improvement.
Oral Motor Therapy (OMT)
The orofacial myofunctional therapist uses gentle touch to move soft tissue of the jaw, lips, tongue, palate, cheeks and pharynx in order to restore normal movement patterns necessary for speech production. These movements are initiated by velopharyngeal opening and controlled by articulation muscles – this therapy approach is known as orofacial myofunctional therapy or OMT and forms part of an interdisciplinary treatment of children with cleft palate and craniofacial disorders. An orofacial myofunctional therapist works closely with doctors from multiple disciplines to monitor progress of children and assess when malocclusion can be corrected
Orofacial myofunctional physiotherapists often collaborate with craniofacial teams to assess and treat velopharyngeal dysfunction caused by pathologies like enlarged tonsils or adenoids or conditions impacting nasal patency, including referral of children for further assessment and management by craniofacial/cleft palate teams.
Dependent upon the cause of velopharyngeal dysfunction, speech therapy may provide one or both primary treatments. One such therapy would focus on improving articulation and sound/voice production (for more information see ASHA Practice Portal page on Speech Disorders). This can improve voice quality when there are no structural issues present.
One form of oral motor therapy which may prove useful in treating velopharyngeal conditions is targeted oral motor therapy that targets muscles involved in its function, such as those located in the pharynx, larynx and esophagus and that control velopharyngeal opening position. A trained therapist can teach their patient how to position these muscles for maximum velopharyngeal closure and vocal quality improvement.
Resonant voice therapy works to harness the natural resonances within your vocal tract – comprising cavities like your mouth and throat that shape sound waves to produce clear, strong, powerful voices – by using various techniques that enhance its strength, clarity, power and ease of use with minimal strain or effort, thus minimizing risk of injury. Your therapist will guide you through a series of exercises ranging from feeling vibrations through to producing basic speech gestures, word level phrases or conversational productions.
Nasal Obturator Therapy (NOT)
Velopharyngeus/VPD) can be affected by various external and internal factors. These may include both structural and functional elements present at once. As a result, resonance disorders may interfere with speech production and normal articulation. Speech-language pathologists are trained professionals with unique qualifications to diagnose and treat VPD; additionally they may offer screening/assessment services and therapeutic support as needed.
The incidence and prevalence of these conditions varies greatly based on their etiology; for instance, the incidence of cleft lip and palate is much higher than VPD, which may have various causes; additionally, its causes vary between adults and children as well as between males and females.
Patients undergoing surgical removal of their maxilla due to cancer often remain with large defects that inhibit functionality, esthetics and speech. Rehabilitating such patients can be an intricate process when prosthetic solutions must be found to restore functionality and speech.
An effective solution for restoring function, esthetics and speech is an obturator prosthesis. An obturator provides a means of separating oral and nasal cavities while still preserving anatomy, supporting mandibles and facial tissues as well as reestablishing speech and swallowing functions.
Case report presented of a patient undergoing maxillectomy for squamous cell carcinoma who presented with a large defect following treatment, who was successfully rehabilitated with an artificial hollow bulb obturator provided by the Department of Prosthodontics. This prosthesis was employed alongside speech therapy to maximize rehabilitation success. Interviews were used to collect data on sociodemographics, self-report of obturator functioning using the Obturator Functioning Scale, retention and stability as well as quality of life (QoL). Results revealed that QoL was significantly linked to marital status: married patients reported greater QoL than divorced or widowed patients. This finding illustrates the need for an integrated team approach in rehabilitation of maxillectomy patients with obturators.
Cul-de-sac Therapy
Cul-sac therapy addresses sound becoming trapped as it leaves part of the vocal tract, either structurally (such as with a cleft lip, palate or nasal obstruction) or functionally ( such as issues related to motor planning/execution). This causes speech volume to diminish dramatically while remaining muffled – indicators include weak and unintelligible voices as well as feeling as though your child is “mumbling”, and lack of energy in consonants.
Oral, nasal and pharyngeal resonance can all produce the cul-de-sac effect. Oral resonance occurs due to microstomia while nasal resonance usually involves either narrow nasal passages (stenotic nares) or enlarged tonsils. Pharyngeal cul-de-sac resonance is most frequently caused by VPI with large tonsils or deviated septum with VPI combined; this variation often produces “mixed resonance”, producing hypernasality on oral sounds while hyponasality for nasal sounds.
Phonemic analysis is the ideal way to diagnose this issue. Have your child pronounce various vowels and consonants together (for instance [mmmmmmm], “b-e-d-g”, etc). Listen closely while covering his mouth with your closed fist to hear each sound individually so you can accurately assess if there is an obstruction present or not.
VPI may be present at birth or may result from damage to the throat and nose during infancy due to trauma, surgery or another source.
Research has demonstrated that laparoscopic excision of endometriosis at a specialist center provides effective relief of symptoms; however, in cases with complete obliteration of their cul-de-sacs intestinal surgery may be required to ensure complete removal and prevent future recurrences of disease.
There are numerous approaches to quantum healing that you can utilize to benefit your health, from energy healing methods to physical contact approaches. All these practices can provide significant rewards.
Quantum healing draws on principles of quantum physics to study energy and matter at microscopic levels, then applies those concepts to human bodies.
Fibonacci Numbers
Fibonacci numbers can be seen everywhere from nature and art to quantum mechanics; their presence can even be found within DNA molecules themselves and Golden Ratio ratios, suggesting there must be some mathematical basis behind our Universe.
The sequence takes its name from Liber Abaci, an Italian mathematician from Pisa who published his book of problems and puzzles called Liber Abaci in 1202. This work discusses series, progressions, proportions and ratios; its initial numbers being 1, 2, and 3. Subsequent numbers being 5, 8 and 13 followed by 13, 21 34 55 which repeat this pattern until all possible numbers can be added together again.
Each succeeding number tends towards the Golden Ratio of 1.618… 0. These Fibonacci numbers can also be considered special cases of Lucas sequence which follow similar recurrence relationships as Fibonacci numbers do.
Mathematicians, artists, and designers have long been fascinated with the Fibonacci sequence and its relation to the Golden Ratio, seemingly because this pattern serves as nature’s own numbering system.
Ralph P. Boas Jr. and his colleagues conducted extensive analysis on the Fibonacci sequence, discovering its link with Golden Ratio and fractals – self-similar patterns repeated at multiple scales – during the early 1900s. This work proved extremely influential for geometry and other fields of mathematics as it allows us to gain greater insight into how the universe was designed.
The golden ratio is an intriguing subject of conversation, particularly as its presence can be observed everywhere from nature to manmade structures. Some of history’s great thinkers from Pythagoras to Isaac Newton held it in high regard; today scientists are making strides in understanding its nature as a fundamental property of our Universe.
Belief
Quantum healing differs from alternative medicine in that it does not claim to cure specific diseases; however, many who use the technique report feeling better after using it. It should be noted that quantum healing should never replace traditional medical advice; whenever symptoms appear consult with your physician immediately.
Quantum healing involves channeling life-force energy into the body in order to heal it. A practitioner focuses on specific areas where healing is necessary, believed to help release toxins and restore balance within. Critics argue that quantum healing only produces an ineffective placebo effect and cannot be scientifically validated.
Quantum energy healing works on the principle that everything in our universe consists of vibrational frequencies, including humans, animals and microbes alike. Because these frequencies constantly alter and transform their environments around us, it’s vitally important that your thoughts and emotions stay balanced so you can maintain energy balance for healing both mentally and physically.
Quantum healing therapy can provide effective solutions to many conditions, such as depression and anxiety. The goal of quantum healing therapy is to address energy imbalances which cause these disorders, providing an all-natural approach that does not have adverse side effects or require medication.
Quantum healing may seem attractive, yet its scientific basis remains uncertain. Some scientists contend that quantum physics does not apply to human biological processes at macroscopic scale; other researchers suggest entrainment theory could provide some assistance for understanding our energy fields surrounding human bodies.
To get the most from quantum healing, it is best to set clear intentions and adopt a daily practice. Repetition of intentions will align your actions, beliefs and thoughts with energy from codes which in turn create positive transformation and healing.
Meditation
Quantum healing codes are sequences of numbers designed to heal both mind and body on an quantum level. Their design draws inspiration from nature’s Fibonacci sequence – found naturally everywhere from sea life and flowers to DNA – with benefits including increased self-esteem, enhanced confidence, improved focus and clarity, as well as healing and balancing energy centers in your body. In addition, using quantum healing codes may improve sleep quality and physical wellbeing – though they should never replace regular medication treatments.
One of the best ways to utilize healing codes is through meditation. Find a quiet space and set aside at least 15 minutes each day for this practice, then close your eyes and focus on any code that resonates with your goals, then allow its energy to move through your body, clearing away blockages and healing you deeply.
While claims about quantum healing tend to be subjective, many have seen positive changes in their lives due to quantum healing; some even claim to have been cured from chronic illnesses! It’s important to keep in mind that such claims are unsubstantiated scientifically and could simply be the placebo effect in action.
Quantum healing is an energy healing practice utilizing principles from quantum physics to promote emotional and physical well-being. The practice blends practical science with intangible spirituality, stemming from ancient Indian practices. Quantum healing rests upon the belief that our minds and bodies are interconnected, so mental states can affect physical health directly.
Although there is no scientific proof that combining quantum healing with yoga can effectively cure illness, some people have reported positive effects. Yogic breathing and postures may help realign energy fields of the body to promote emotional and physical well-being, and some researchers believe yoga may foster a sense of connection to the universe while increasing feelings of interconnectedness.
Some individuals have discovered that practicing quantum healing through yoga can reduce stress, improve flexibility and strength, and promote relaxation. However, it should be remembered that yoga should not replace conventional medicine; when practicing it is important to practice with an accredited yoga practitioner and always consult your physician prior to engaging in any form of healing practice.
Intention
Quantum healing relies on intention as one of its cornerstones, with this technique relying on you focusing on your goals while trusting in the universe to help achieve them. It can help improve physical and emotional health as well as promote feelings of well-being; or incorporate this approach into daily meditation practice for improved stress reduction and connection to universal energies.
Quantum healing codes are sequences of numbers believed to offer holistic health benefits on a quantum level. Based on the Fibonacci sequence – an ever-present pattern found everywhere from sea life and flowers to our DNA – quantum healing codes may increase confidence, release low self-esteem, strengthen focus and mental clarity among other things, providing a natural alternative to costly and sometimes ineffective Western medicines.
If you are experiencing discomfort in your body, try quantum healing codes as a solution. They can be applied to virtually every illness imaginable from head or neck ache to backache to limb discomfort and more. To use them effectively, set intentions daily to visualize them so the energy from these codes can enter and energize your system so you can relax while reaping its rewards.
Quantum healing codes can also help balance your energy through meditation and visualization. Simply choose a code that resonates with your goals, meditate upon it, then visualize what outcome you wish to attain such as relaxation or feeling closer to the universe.
Quantum healing can be practiced either independently or with assistance from a practitioner, using breathing exercises and meditation as strategies for dislodging negative energy that has built up in your body and caused various ailments. Before engaging in quantum healing yourself or consulting with a healthcare practitioner for advice, consult your doctor first as this form of alternative medicine does not replace traditional approaches, but instead augments traditional medical solutions.
Bioresonance therapy uses energy fields of the body to harmonise them and can assist with many ailments, offering an integrative solution that addresses root causes rather than simply treating symptoms.
At present, clinical studies conducted with BICOM UK devices only involve allergy therapy; however, the technology is widely utilized elsewhere.
What is Bioresonance Therapy?
Bioresonance therapy (also referred to as electrodermal testing, bio-energetic medicine and vibrational healing) is an innovative, natural treatment with astounding results. Utilizing electromagnetic frequencies, Bioresonance can harmonize discordant body signals while speeding the healing process in organs – offering relief for allergies, chronic pain, stress and even cancer patients.
Bioresonance technology operates under the assumption that every object, including human bodies, emit vibrations in the form of electromagnetic waves that can be measured and recorded using electronic devices. Bioresonance analyzes this data and separates healthy from unhealthy patterns within it – the latter are then fed back into your body while their informational value reversed or reduced, helping the body rid itself of unhealthy substances while restoring natural balance.
Health practitioners use the BICOM device as part of an integrative healthcare approach, often in conjunction with conventional treatments like surgery or chemotherapy. According to many practitioners, this device has proven highly successful with treating various conditions from arthritis and asthma to chronic fatigue syndrome – even helping decrease side effects from medications while strengthening overall immunity systems.
Therapists frequently recommend diet changes and nutritional supplements to strengthen immunity. Relaxation therapies like massage or acupuncture may also be suggested to ease tension.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Noel Edmonds are two celebrities known to have used the BICOM bioresonance device, with Paltrow writing an article for her lifestyle website GOOP about its effectiveness in treating Lyme disease and other ailments. According to her account, Paltrow describes it as a simple box that slows ageing, reduces pain, lifts depression/stress levels and even tackles cancer (!)
Bioresonance sessions vary between countries and are generally not covered by most statutory healthcare plans; however, some private insurers do offer coverage. Therapists frequently offer discounts for multiple sessions booked together or group bookings.
How is Bioresonance Therapy carried out?
Bioresonance therapy utilizes special machines to detect electromagnetic vibrations within the body and to play back frequencies that can help balance out imbalances, whether through skin contact or via an electromagnetic mat that covers all body areas. It works on the theory that all living organisms possess individual energy carriers in the form of electromagnetic wave patterns which vibrate harmoniously within healthy biological organisms while disharmoniously in diseased ones; Bioresonance is noninvasive treatment requiring no drugs or injections to operate effectively.
BRT (bioresonance therapy) uses devices that measure electromagnetic fields of humans to identify any imbalances causing illness or distress, transmitting this information into deepest areas of their bodies so they may restore themselves back into a balanced state. As this treatment is highly personalized, since information transmitted directly to them and can only be perceived by their bodies; results of BRT therapy are seen immediately without side effects or detrimental side effects.
Rebalancing energy may also increase immune function. A strong immune system may better combat viruses, bacteria, toxins, allergens, and other pathogens than an unbalanced one.
BRT is founded on radionics, an energy and information medicine technique created by Albert Abrams in the 1920s. Franz Morell then refined it further in the 1930s and 40s; as a result, today’s device for bioresonance therapy was also originally created by him.
For treating certain conditions, doctors use an electronic device selector connected to their computer and choose an effective nosode (such as stomach cancer) from a list. They record it onto sugar grains and give it to patients; it will destroy any tumor cells present. Furthermore, patients are provided with diets designed to accelerate healing as well as antioxidant supplements like vitamins C and E for strengthening immunity.
What are the results of Bioresonance Therapy?
Bioresonance therapy operates under the assumption that all living things possess individual electromagnetic wave patterns as individual information carriers that vibrate harmoniously in healthy biological organisms and disharmoniously when diseased ones exist. Vibrations detected with special devices can then be reversed as needed through superimposing harmonic frequency patterns which correct pathological electromagnetic vibrations.
Bioresonance treatments typically last from 20-90 minutes and are painless. The first session entails basic therapy to restore energy balance while subsequent sessions address existing symptoms.
Bioresonance therapy has proven highly successful with patients. Most symptoms have been relieved or have even vanished completely in many instances, with some even being able to discontinue medications altogether.
Notably, it should be remembered that bioresonance cannot replace medication; rather it can act as an additional therapeutic strategy.
Bioresonance therapy can also be utilized as a preventative measure and therapeutic aid, providing benefits such as detoxifying your body of harmful toxins to improve immunity and increase its defenses against infection.
Bioresonance therapy may also be effective in treating psychological problems. It can improve emotional stability and ease tension. Furthermore, bioresonance may also be useful in treating chronic fatigue symptoms as well as alleviating fibromyalgia symptoms or back pain issues.
Of course, it would be inaccurate to claim that bioresonance can cure all illnesses. Human beings are complex beings with unique physical, emotional and social needs; no medical method will be able to assist everyone equally; yet the high success rates seen with bioresonance treatments offer hope to many patients.
What are the risks of Bioresonance Therapy?
Bioresonance Therapy has an impressive success rate and many animal patients – even hopeless ones – have been helped. It consists of noninvasive energy healing which balances electromagnetic waves in your body that could otherwise be harmful or unhealthy, using bioresonance to alter these frequencies to healthier ones for improved overall wellness.
Bioresonance scanners read the frequency patterns emitted by your cells to identify any breakdown in communication which may contribute to illness or disease, and identify what substances are preventing your cells from working optimally, so that toxins can be eliminated and restore your body’s natural ability for self-healing.
Bioresonance scanning uses acupuncture points to scan for this communication between cells. Once identified, any harmful frequencies are inverted so as to encourage them to break down toxins more efficiently while communicating more openly among themselves.
A typical session lasts 60 minutes and includes several therapy programs applied to the body, including detoxification, harmonizing blood and lymphatic flow, radiation contamination removal, scar interference elimination, strengthening immunity systems and other specialized programs.
Studies have not conclusively demonstrated the efficacy of bioresonance therapy as a cure for cancer; however, many oncology patients report finding it beneficial in supporting their treatments and providing relief from some side effects. It can also be combined with chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatments for maximum effectiveness.
Cancer requires that only fully trained and authorized bioresonance practitioners perform therapy; anything less would violate The Cancer Act 1939 and could have serious repercussions for the patient. We advise all those seeking bioresonance treatments for cancer to reach out to an authorized practitioner and inquire as to their training and experience prior to booking an appointment.
Terahertz (THZ) frequencies penetrate deeply into human bodies, awakening dormant cells and strengthening immunity systems.
THz radiation can effectively distinguish the boundaries between cancerous and healthy tissues, potentially helping prevent tumor recurrence by providing early stage diagnosis. Furthermore, this technology has demonstrated promising results in other applications including pain management and wound healing.
Biological Effects
Terahertz (THz) radiation is a non-ionizing form of electromagnetic energy that occupies the frequency range between conventional microwave and infrared frequencies. THz waves have the ability to penetrate deeply into biomedical tissues and cause various biological effects which may prove useful in medical settings.
THz radiation does not ionize biological molecules, making it safer and more effective than traditional X-rays which may cause molecular damage. Furthermore, THz radiation can produce biomolecular effects unrelated to chemical interactions, such as vibration, rotation and libration; THz can also induce nonthermal changes in dielectric constants of water molecules within biological tissues.
THz radiation’s properties make it an ideal candidate for imaging and therapy applications, such as imaging without invasive procedures like biopsy or surgery, while its spectroscopy can detect cancer cells present in tissue samples as well as track their molecular progression over time.
THz Irradiation’s Biological Effects
Terahertz radiation is known to influence numerous cellular processes, including growth, proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. Furthermore, THz radiation can suppress cytokines and inflammatory responses while increasing cell viability and stimulating DNA repair processes in cells. Furthermore, Terahertz radiation has also been demonstrated to alter membrane morphology while altering ionic and lipid balance within cells as well as suppress amyloid oligomer formation while attenuating neuroinflammation associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
THz irradiation affects cells differently depending on their type, tissue and amount of exposure. THz can have various nonthermal effects such as changing protein conformation and binding to DNA via nonlinear resonance; alter membrane permeability; change gene expression patterns and even trigger apoptosis and cell differentiation in neural stem cells (NSCs).
Mechanisms of Action
THz radiation can penetrate biological tissues with great transparency and without significant scattering, making THz spectroscopy very useful in the identification of different biomarkers. For instance, it can help identify liver injury by comparing THz spectra of normal and fibrotic tissue slices1, detect burns2, differentiate normal from malignant cells3, as well as determine tumor or metastases4. Furthermore, imaging THz waves could potentially help detect cancer metastases4.
THz waves’ ability to interact with biological structures and molecular processes is a key aspect of their therapeutic potential. Studies have demonstrated how THz radiation can create nonthermal effects by creating local openings in DNA helix via nonlinear resonance, thus impacting double chain stability (Alexandrov et al. 2010)5.
THz radiation can alter cell cytoskeletal structure and protein activity, as well as influence its proliferation and differentiation into neuronal lineage cells (Cherkasova et al., 2020). Research has demonstrated this through THz irradiation of human neural stem cells (hNSCs). THz irradiation alters their cytoskeleton structure resulting in changes to cell adhesion capabilities as well as proliferation rates (Cherkasova et al. 2020).
THz radiation exposure promotes cell migration and increases microtubule counts in the cytoplasm, both essential components for proliferation. This effect has been linked to Src activation – which plays an essential role in cell polarization and signaling (Sharifi et al. 2017).
THz irradiation has also been demonstrated to possess anti-inflammatory effects and reduced glial reactivity in APPSWE/PS1DE9 mice. It has been speculated that THz radiation works by inhibiting Ab oligomers production, thus decreasing neuroinflammation. Although further investigation needs to take place into its exact mechanism of action, one possibility could be altering hydrogen bond networks within Ab oligomers by decreasing the b-sheet area and increasing a-helix sites.
Preliminary Results
Terahertz (THz) radiation provides immense potential for biomedical applications in the electromagnetic spectrum between infrared and millimeter waves, being capable of detecting vibration and rotation energy levels of numerous biomacromolecules, thus providing valuable information regarding their structural features.
THz sensing and imaging techniques can be used to precisely distinguish between healthy and diseased tissues, including tumors. By analyzing THz spectra of tissue samples, liver injury severity and burn severity can be accurately quantified1. THz radiation penetrates human body tissues up to 1 cm deep for accurate metastatic states detection in lymph nodes as well as improved diagnosis of head and neck diseases such as brain cancer, hypopharyngeal cancer, oral disorders, thyroid nodules, Alzheimer’s disease and eye problems2.
THz technology can detect pathological changes in biological tissues as well as detect and treat various diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. THz radiation has been demonstrated to alter protein structures at both organismal and cellular levels; as an effective treatment option against amyloid aggregation and neurofibrillary tangles found within Alzheimer’s patients’ brain tissues.
Molecular dynamic simulations have revealed that DNA from living human cells responds to THz radiation by changing its spectral characteristics, due to a phenomenon known as nonlinear resonance which causes local openings in its helix structure and may impede with RNA polymerase activity and the oxidation of adenine-thymine bonds within their genomes.
Recently, THz radiation has been discovered to increase protein system activity at the cellular level and even induce its dissociation – this phenomenon is known as “protein-induced THz response”, suggesting THz therapy could be effective at relieving effects associated with various neurological conditions, including ischemic stroke and Alzheimer’s disease. It works through interaction between vibrational/rotation energy of molecules inside cells and electromagnetic fields generated by THz radiation.
Conclusions
Terahertz (THz) waves are electromagnetic waves located between microwave and infrared regions of the spectrum. With such powerful penetration ability into soft tissues, terahertz band waves make an invaluable tool for biomedical applications like spectroscopy and imaging.
THz radiation provides non-invasive, label-free tissue analysis with the potential to enhance clinical decision making by providing early cancer detection, and mapping tumor boundaries and invasion depth early. Early cancer detection can result in better patient outcomes while mitigating risks associated with complex surgery and chemotherapy treatment protocols.
THz radiation therapy can also be used to treat multiple conditions, including pain management, wound healing, skin care and immunoregulation. THz may help alleviate muscle soreness, arthritis and neuropathic pain; promote skin health; reducing dark spots, wrinkles and acne; boost immune function while potentially relieving stress and anxiety.
Terahertz radiation may help slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease by disrupting hydrogen bond networks in b-amyloid peptide, suppressing its aggregation. A recent study also showed that exposure to THz waves at particular frequencies resulted in significant changes in positive staining area fractions for NeuN, MAP-2 and synaptophysin which suggests THz irradiation inhibited apoptosis significantly inhibited neurons.
Terahertz radiation could also be utilized to identify malignant cells, since methylated DNA of cancerous cells exhibits a resonance frequency of 1.65 THz. Understanding this resonance could enable researchers to create metamaterial sensors capable of detecting DNA methylation at its root level – providing diagnostic tools that would serve many diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
