The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of molecular hydrogen (H2) have been explored for their possible health advantages. H2 is the smallest and most basic molecule, and it may easily pass through cell membranes to reach cellular compartments. Research on the health significance of H2 is still in its early stages, and although some studies have yielded encouraging results, further resea

A 62-year-old woman was diagnosed with postoperative breast cancer recurrence. While inhaling hydrogen gas through a nasal cannula at home, she used a heat-therapy machine that emitted electromagnetic waves to the breast cancer site. She suddenly experienced explosive sounds in her chest and smelled burning. Subsequently, she experienced several overlapping hemoptysis episodes and was referred to
