Double-Pokemon-Ball Sign in Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis Responsive to Far-Infrared Therapy
June 27, 2021
Abstract
Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis (EPS) is a rare but serious complication of peritoneal dialysis. Medical treatment for EPS includes a combination of anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory agents. Despite optimal treatment, EPS is still associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality. We present a case of EPS who was successfully treated with tamoxifen and far-infrared therapy. The abdominal computed tomography scan mimicked the “double-Pokemon-ball sign”.

A new study published in Cells has provided further insight into the molecular responses of arterial endothelial cells following far-infrared (FIR) irradiation. The study, conducted by researchers from Gunma Paz University, Japan, investigated the effects of FIR on human femoral artery endothelial cells (HFAECs) using an integrated multi-omics approach combining transcriptomics, proteomics, and phosphoproteomics. FIR irradiation was delivered using the WSTM TY101F far-infrared therapy unit manufactured by WS Far Infrared Medical Technology.
