“…MIG3 bioceramics, an infrared emitter, incorporated in clothes (gloves, shorts, dressings), allows its use at home, in a simple and non-invasive way, at work, and even during sleep, thereby facilitating a patient's daily life. recent evidence claims that it can control pain, inflammation, accelerate healing in the post-operative period, and minimize the use of drugs and its side effects, through self-regulation mechanism [12][13][14][15][16] . The objective of this study is evaluate the impact of the use of MIG3 bioceramic over four weeks on pain, intolerance to cold and periodic leg movement in patients with post-polio syndrome.…”

-The main post-polio syndrome (PPS) symptoms are new-onset weakness, new-onset atrophy, fatigue, cold intolerance, and pain associated with sleep disturbances. The polysomnographic study is the gold pattern to analyze sleep disorders. Objective: To assess pain, intolerance to cold and periodic limb movements (PLM) index before and after the use of MIG3 bioceramic fabrics over 4 weeks. Method: 12 patients with PPS from UNIFESP/EPM. All patients were submitted to polysomnography and infra-red examinations with answered scales of pain and intolerance to cold before and after the use of MIG3 bioceramics fabrics. Results: There were significant decreases in pain and PLM index. Conclusion: MIG3 bioceramic fabrics can help in the treatment of pain and PLM in PPS patients.KEy wordS: sleep, pain, post-polio syndrome. Efeitos do uso de tecidos com biocerâmica MIG3 -emissora de infravermelho longo -na dor, intolerância ao frio e movimentos periódicos dos membros na síndrome pós-poliomieliteresumo -dentre as manifestações clínicas da SPP destacam-se nova fraqueza, fadiga, dor, intolerância ao frio, nova atrofia e transtornos do sono. A polissonografia de noite inteira permanece sendo padrão ouro para análise do sono e diagnóstico de transtornos do sono. Objetivo: Avaliar o comportamento da dor, intolerância ao frio (IF) e índice de movimentos periódicos de membros (PLMs) após uso de colchonete e roupas com biocerâmica MIG3 por 4 semanas. Método: 12 pacientes com SPP, da UNIFESP/EPM. Todos realizaram exames de polissonografia e infravermelho e responderam a questionários de dor e IF antes e após o uso dos materiais. Resultados: Houve diminuição significativa da dor e dos PLMs. Conclusão: os tecidos com biocerâmica MIG3 podem ser um coadjuvante ao tratamento da dor e dos PLMs nos pacientes com SPP.

“…10 Far infrared (FIR) radiation is an invisible electromagnetic wave with a characteristic wavelength between 5.6 and 1000 m that can be perceived as heat by thermo-receptors in the skin. 15,16 Recent studies indicate that FIR therapy exerts beneficial effects in the cardiovascular system. FIR radiation improves ventricular arrhythmias and endothelial function in patients with heart disease.…”

Objective-Survival of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) in hemodialysis patients is associated with both far infrared (FIR) therapy and length polymorphisms of the heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) promoter. In this study, we evaluated whether there is an interaction between FIR radiation and HO-1 in regulating vascular inflammation. Methods and Results-Treatment of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (ECs) with FIR radiation stimulated HO-1 protein, mRNA, and promoter activity. HO-1 induction was dependent on the activation of the antioxidant responsive element/NF-E2-related factor-2 complex, and was likely a consequence of heat stress. FIR radiation also inhibited tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-␣-mediated expression of E-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, interleukin-8, and the cytokine-mediated adhesion of monocytes to ECs. The antiinflammatory action of FIR was mimicked by bilirubin, and was reversed by the HO inhibitor, tin protoporphyrin-IX, or by the selective knockdown of HO-1. Finally, the antiinflammatory effect of FIR was also observed in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Key Words: endothelium Ⅲ far infrared therapy Ⅲ inflammation Ⅲ leukocyte adhesion A well-functioning vascular access is necessary for achieving adequate hemodialysis (HD) in patients with end stage renal failure. Approximately 17% to 25% of HD patient hospitalizations in the United States arise from vascular access complications, with an annual cost of more than 1 billion US dollars, which continues to grow. 1 Nearly 85% of vascular access failures arise from thromboses, more than 80% of which are associated with stenoses, 2 which usually presents with inadequate blood flow. 3,4 The causative factors of vascular access stenosis include small diameter of artery and vein, surgical technique, previous venipunctures, hemodynamic stress, and the presence of accessory veins. 5 Moreover, many factors leading to endothelial dysfunction, such as oxidative stress, hyperhomocysteinemia, platelet activation, and inflammation are associated with arteriovenous fistula (AVF) failure. 5 The histological features of vascular access stenosis comprise vascular inflammation, intimal hyperplasia, and excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix. 5 Despite these findings, the cause of stenoses remains unknown in a significant proportion of HD patients. This interindividual variation may relate to differences in the genetic background that may influence susceptibility to vascular inflammation and neointima formation after endothelial and smooth muscle injury. 6,7 Consistent with this notion, AVF survival was reported to be associated with specific genetic polymorphisms of transforming growth factor (TGF)-␤1 8 and methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase. 9 In addition, we recently identified a length polymorphism in the heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) gene that is associated with patency of AVFs. 10 HO-1 catalyzes the oxidative degradation of heme into equimolar amounts of biliverdin,...

“…According to the difference in wavelength, infrared radiation can be divided into three categories: Near-infrared radiation (0.8 to 1.5 m), middle-infrared radiation (1.5 to 5.6 m), and far-infrared (FIR) radiation (5.6 to 1000 m) (6). Infrared radiation transfers energy that is perceived as heat by thermoreceptors in the surrounding skin (7).…”
