Chronic methamphetamine (Meth) abuse may induce psychosis similar to that observed in schizophrenia. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been implicated in the development of psychosis. We have previously shown long-term protein expression changes in mice treated chronically with Meth depending on BDNF Val66Met genotype.

This report describes the case of a 42-year-old female diagnosed with retroperitoneal liposarcoma after complete tumor resection.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a serious, progressive illness causing irreversible airflow issues and is one of the top causes of death globally, creating significant economic burdens.
- Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has emerged as a potential treatment option, known for its cost-effectiveness and lack of side effects, prompting researchers to explore its effectiveness in reducing lung damage from COPD.
- In experimental studies with mice exposed to cigarette smoke, LLLT showed promising results in lowering inflammation and improving lung function by reducing harmful cytokines and collagen buildup while increasing beneficial IL-10 levels.
