The Case for High-Dose Motivational Enhancement Therapy
Substance Use and Misuse, 2004Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) is a brief therapy for treating substance use-related problems that draws upon the stages of the change model of Prochaska et al. (1992) and the clinical techniques of Motivational Interviewing (MI) Miller et al. (1992).

Calculation of radiation dose enhancement factors for dose enhancement therapy of brain tumours
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 1992When brain tumours are loaded with iodinated contrast media (CM) and exposed to x-rays, the photoelectrons, Auger electrons and fluorescent x-rays from the iodine enhance the radiation dose absorbed by the tumour. A modified CT scanner, the CTX, can be used to localize the tumour and to deliver the dose enhancement therapy. Monte Carlo calculations are

Enhancing Acupuncture by Low Dose Naltrexone
Acupuncture in Medicine, 2011To find appropriate and effective treatment options for chronic pain syndromes is a challenging task. Multimodal treatment approach has been gaining acceptance for chronic pain. However, combining treatments, such as acupuncture, with rational pharmacology is still in its infancy.

Radiation dose enhancement in tumors with iodine
Medical Physics, 1983The loading of tissue with iodine can result in the enhancement of the radiation dose absorbed from low‐energy x‐ray or gamma ray sources. We have explored the potential of this phenomenon for radiation therapy. We have demonstrated the effect of iodine concentration and radiation quality on this dose enhancement in lymphocytes, we have calculated the ...

Enhancement of methotrexate absorption by subdivision of dose
Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology, 1979A comparison was made in fasting patients between a single 100 mg oral dose of methotrexate formulated as its sodium salt in a palatable syrup and the same total quantity of drug administered in four divided doses of 25 mg taken at 2-h intervals. Allocation to the order of these treatment schedules was on a random basis.

Evaluation of the microscopic dose enhancement for nanoparticle-enhanced Auger therapy
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2016The aim of this study is to investigate the dosimetric characteristics of nanoparticle-enhanced Auger therapy. Monte Carlo (MC) simulations were performed to assess electron energy spectra and dose enhancement distributions around a nanoparticle. In the simulations, two types of nanoparticle structures were considered: nanoshell and nanosphere, both of

Magnetic enhancement of electron dose distribution in a phantom
Medical Physics, 1977We have measured the effect of a 10‐kG magnetic field on the dose distribution of electrons in a polystyrene phantom. Isodensity plots and depth‐dose curves are presented for 22‐ and 28‐MeV electron beams with and without the magnetic field applied. The measurements show that magnetic fields as low as 10 kG can produce a substantial modification of the
